Frequently Asked Questions

Is window film expensive?

The average installation costs less than most other window treatments. Combined with protection against fading and reduced air-conditioning costs, this means window film offers a great return on investment!
How long does window film last?

Tint-a-Window's advanced window films come with a manufacturer-backed residential and commercial warranty. Tint-a-Window is also one of the few installers to offer a warranty on the installation as well!
Is window film easy to clean?

Yes, we recommend cleaning the window film with soapy water and a soft cloth. Window film is a smoother surface than glass, making your windows even easier to clean!

Can window film make glass a one-way mirror?

Tint-a-Window's advanced films can offer a one-way mirror look with the correct lighting. As long as the mirror side is slightly brighter, we can offer you the ultimate in privacy.
What causes furnishings to fade?

Although ultra-violet light accounts for 40% of fading in the harsh New Zealand climate, a combination of visible light and heat accounts for another 50% of the problem. To successfully slow down fading, Tint-a-Window's advanced films deal with all three issues while maintaining your views!
Does tinted glass stop fading?

No, tinted glass is just colour-dyed and does not have any solar protective properties. We install just as much film to tinted glass as we do to clear. Tint-a-Window's advanced films are the only product that gives you the maximum protection against fading.
Why use window film instead of blinds?

Blinds block the light, continue to allow in heat, and your view is gone. Tint-a-Window's advanced films allow you to keep your views while controlling the UV, glare, heat and privacy.
Does window film bubble or peel?

No, Tint-a-Window's advanced films are constructed by the world's best manufacturer and are guaranteed not to bubble or peel.
Will window film make my room dark?

No, Tint-a-Window's advanced window films will soften and balance the light distribution in your home or office, allowing your eyes to relax and allow in more light, removing dark areas and letting you enjoy your views.
