🧠 Most Common Window Tinting FAQs For Homes and Businesses
❓ How long does window film take to dry?
Most residential films dry within 30 to 60 days. Avoid cleaning your windows during this curing period to prevent damage or streaking.
❓ Can I clean the film after installation?
Yes — but only after the 30-day curing period. Use a soft microfiber cloth and a mild, ammonia-free glass cleaner.
❓ What’s the warranty on window tinting?
We offer:
Lifetime limited warranties for residential interior films
10–12 years for most commercial films
3-year warranty on exterior films
Coverage includes bubbling, fading, peeling, and adhesive failure. We use Solar Gard® films backed by Saint-Gobain, a global industry leader.
❓ Will window film stop fading?
No film can eliminate fading entirely, but a high-performance film can block up to 99% of UV rays, visible light, and infrared heat — the main causes of fading.
❓ Can window film break my glass?
Not if it’s installed properly. We follow IWFA standards and use manufacturer guidelines to avoid thermal stress or glass compatibility issues.
❓ Do you remove old tint?
Yes. We offer professional removal of old or damaged film before reinstallation. Tint removal is priced separately based on the size and condition of the glass.
❓ What types of film do you offer?
We carry high-performance films from Solar Gard®, including:
PureVue™ Ceramic – high clarity, top heat rejection
Truevue™ – great for glare and privacy at a budget
Armorcoat® – adds safety & security features for homes or storefronts
❓ What’s the best window film to reduce heat in California homes?
Ceramic films are the best for heat reduction without darkening. Our Solar Gard PureVue series is perfect for the hot Tri-Valley summers.
❓ Is window tinting allowed on dual-pane or Low-E windows?
Yes, but it depends on the film. We match each job to your glass type to prevent thermal stress or warranty issues.
❓ How much does residential window tinting cost in Dublin, CA?
Most projects range from $10–$18 per square foot. We offer fast virtual estimates — just text us photos of your windows.
❓ Does window film provide privacy at night?
