Why auto window tinting?
There are numerous advantages of auto window tinting when it is done right. Among them are a better and safer driving experience (no glare), increased privacy, upholstery protection, shatter proofing, staying healthy, and keeping cool.
What exactly happens during auto window tinting? The process can be broken down into five steps.
-
The tint films are chosen
-
The windows are cleaned outside
-
The film is cut by machine or hand
-
The film is shrunk to remove the “fingers”
-
The inside is cleaned
-
The film is laid, squeegeed, and de-bubbled
Choosing the tint depends on personal preferences and legal requirements. Usually, 15 – 20% dark tints should be used. Cleaning the windows outside is a very important step as even a small speck of dirt can lead to problems. After the film is cut, it is shrunk. Car windows are not completely flat but a little curved, which is why when you put tint on the window, it will curve, forming “fingers.” When heating the film, it shrinks and matches the curvature of the window. The fingers are then removed using a heat gun.
The inside cleaning is important because when wet, the film can slide and be positioned more easily. Finally, the film is laid, which is the fastest step of this process.
