Top Window Tinting Questions and Answers
Anywhere you go you will find somebody trying to sucker you into buying low-quality window film (you know the kind that turns an awful purple shade and cracks in the sun?). This can happen online or in a shop, so beware.
However, don't let this discourage you from buying window tint. There are so many benefits-both practical and superficial! Not only does it optimize the look of your home or vehicles, it will also help reduce glare, provide UV protection, and keep your house cooler in the summer (without the aid of air conditioning).
Before you purchase what you need to decide is: will you do it yourself or hire a professional? Can I expect the film to come with a warranty? How do I know which company to go with? Here are some essential tips:
Should I expect my window film to come with a warranty? There are many great companies out there that offer a Lifetime Replacement Warranty (and stand by it). Make sure the warranty guarantees the tint will never turn purple, fade, crack, peel or bubble. How do I know which company to work with? Beware when advertisements anywhere (especially online) declare that they use the 'top quality window films in the industry' or work with the 'leading US window film manufacturers'. Claims like this are hard to prove as industry status can be completely relative. Check out each company, and the products they work with before purchasing to ensure you are getting top of the line window film. Can I put the window tint on by myself? Yes, you can. There are several companies that sell top of the line quality window film and will shipped it to your house. These companies provide instructional forms with your purchase and also offer videos on their websites that will show you step by step how to put the film on. The labor is not that intensive (should only take 2-4 hours at the most), and if you do it right it can save you money on hiring a professional. What are the benefits of hiring a professional instead? The benefits of hiring a professional are pretty obvious: you won't have to bother with the chore of having to do it yourself, and putting film on large, high windows can be challenging. It can also be difficult to get the film perfectly smooth. So, for those of you with little patience or not too concerned about the additional cost, there are many Utah window tinting companies that provide top of the line products and customer service.
