Do you have to use soapy water to apply window film?

• <div><p>If your window film doesn’t come with an installation kit and its own application solution, you can make your own—but don’t use soap!

Q: Can you see through a house window with tint on it?

• <div><p>It depends on the light. If you have a privacy film installed, someone outside of your home would not be able to see inside during the day. During the evening, however, if you have lights on inside of your home, those outside will be able to see inside as the light is greater outside than inside. </p></div>

Q: How do I maintain tinted windows?

• <div><p>Clean with non-abrasive cleaners and a soft cloth, avoiding ammonia-based products that can degrade the film.</p></div>

Q: How do you really black out windows?

• <div><p>Use a combination of blackout methods to truly black out your windows. If you want to eliminate all light from your room, try installing a very dark tinted film and then putting up blackout shades over the entire window. Reach out to a professional and request some custom-made shades for the best result. </p></div>

Q: How much does it cost to remove window tints?

• <div><p>The most popular way to remove home window tint is by using a hairdryer. Most people already have one in their home, but if you don&rsquo;t, you can buy one for as little as $15. All you need to do is turn the hairdryer to its hottest and highest setting and run it over the window tint for a few minutes. Then, you can easily peel it away. You may need some goo remover for any leftover adhesive, but this DIY could be free for many people. </p></div>

Everything was wonderful until the very last job. Molding need to be put back around windows in an addition that were not replaced. The molding job was very unprofessional. Did not miter corners and did not do a good job.
