FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Which film should I choose?
Heat-rejecting film cuts cooling costs; UV film protects furniture; privacy film adds seclusion without blocking light. Ceramic films are premium and best for heat.
Do I need a pro?
Yes for a bubble-free, clean result. Tall windows or skylights need ladders and special tools.
How long does it take?
A standard window takes 30-60 minutes; full cure takes 30 days without washing the glass with soap.
