Q: Why won't my window film stick?

• <div><p>Often, window film won&rsquo;t stick if the glass is too dirty; dust and debris can prevent the adhesive from working. Make sure to clean the glass thoroughly before installing the window film. Low-quality film, which may have a weaker adhesive, might also be the cause of your window film&rsquo;s inability to stick.</p></div>

Q: What chemical dissolves window tint?

• <div><p>While you need heat to peel back window film, the tint will often leave behind adhesive residue. You can use chemicals such as isopropyl alcohol or acetone to remove the residue, though hardware stores sell specialized solutions for this purpose as well. You can also use soapy water in a pinch! </p></div>

Q: How long does home window tinting last?

• <div><p>On average, professionally applied residential window tinting can last anywhere from five to 25 years. The quality of the film material and installation help to determine if film will stay. In addition, gently cleaning windows with film can increase their longevity. Harsh and abrasive cleaners, alcohol-based and ammonia-based cleaners, and sharp scraping tools and scrubbers can all prematurely destroy the film's surface. Use a microfiber towel and gentle cleaning solutions to get rid of dirt and residue to prolong a tint's lifespan.</p></div>

Q: Can frosted glass spray be used outside?

• <div><p>Some frosted glass sprays can handle the outdoors, but most of them aren't built for it. Sprays made for exterior use will say so clearly on the label. Anything marked &ldquo;interior use only&rdquo; can't hold up against rain, UV exposure, or changing temperatures without peeling, fading, or yellowing. Outdoor-rated sprays are typically more durable, but even then, proper prep and application matter. Before spraying anything outside, double-check the product instructions. If it doesn&rsquo;t specifically mention exterior use, skip it. </p><p> </p></div>

Q: How much does a home window tinting cost?

• <div><p><a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/house-window-tinting-cost.htm">Home window tinting costs</a> around <b>$600</b> on average, and most homeowners pay between <b>$150 and $1,600</b> for the service, depending on a few different factors. The number of windows you want tinted and the size of those windows are the most significant cost factors, as each window and each additional square foot of tint will add to your total. The quality of the tint itself is another important cost factor to consider, as additional coatings like low-emissivity (low-E) treatment will increase the cost of the materials.</p></div>

They came, they washed the windows and they did an okay job. The reason I have a slightly negative feeling is that they were removing screens to get to the windows to wash them and I just discovered one of the screens was damaged.
