Our clients ask us a lot of questions about window film. You might have heard that there are no stupid questions. And to that we’d add that there are some questions that almost everyone has! Here are a few of the ones we hear all the time!

Does the Film Go on the Outside or the Inside?

The film goes on the inside, although we use the outside of the glass to measure the film. If you look very carefully at already-applied film, you’ll be able to see the edge right up at the tippy-top of the glass.

Will My Window Film Turn Purple?

The short answer is that all window film fades eventually. The slightly longer answer is that the better the quality of window film, the less fading you will have. All window films have red, blue and yellow colors in them. but the yellow fades the fastest, leaving blue and red. Blue and red mixed together make purple, so you end up with purple.  For a longer answer, take a look at this article from City Scoop: Why Do Window Films Turn Purple?

Is There Any Interference with my Cell Phone Signal?

We use 3M’s window film. To quote from the 3M website, “Because these films are non-metallized, you can be assured of zero interference with GPS or cell phone signals.” So talk away! Your cell phone signal is safe with our window film.

How Long Does Window Film Take to Apply?

Unless your vehicle is very large with many windows, the job will usually be done within a few hours. We usually recommend that you leave your car with us. By the way, we are now conveniently located in Santa Clara, very close to the San Jose Airport.

How Do I Care for My Windows?

Use a soft, clean cloth to clean the windows and a squeegee to help dry the windows, along with any normal glass cleaner. The scratch-resistant coating helps protect your windows and ensures that you don’t need to take extra care to protect them.
