Tinting your car’s windows is a favourable task, which is likely to provide a number of benefits like- protecting your skin by blocking harmful UV rays of the sun, keeping your car cool and reducing glare, among many others.

Before you decide to actually have the windows of your automobile tinted, however, you should ask yourself some essential questions to make sure that you are about to make the right decision. Check our list of those essential questions below:

• WHAT WILL BE THE DURATION OF THE TINT

The number one question that you should ask is how long will the tint that you plan to get for the windows of your car stay. The lifetime of window films depends on various factors, which include, the product type and quality, the climate, and the amount of direct sunlight that your car is exposed to. Usually, automotive films are designed to last for a longer period of time than the time for which the typical owner will keep the vehicle. The tint should last unto or more than ten years, at least.

• WHAT TIME WOULD IT TAKE TO TINT THE WINDOWS?

The process of tinting windows should not take more than 45 minutes to a few hours, depending on the number of windows that are being tinted. If you are only adding the window film to the two front side doors, the installation will be much quicker than a full installation which includes all four side windows and the back window. The dealer who is installing your window films may want to keep the vehicle for at least a half day to complete the job to the best of his ability and to also, allow the film time to dry before returning the vehicle back to you. It is suggested that you make arrangements for a ride back home on the day of your window tinting appointment.

• DOES THE FILK COME WITH A WARRANTY?

The products that come with a warranty can safely be assumed to be of quality. You should only have those films installed in you car windows which come with a warranty. Another point to remember is that most products come with a limited warranty. You should confirm the exact warranty duration beforehand. It is wiser to prefer window films that come with a lifetime warranty over those which come with a warranty of a comparatively shorter duration.

• WHICH TINT IS RIGHT FOR MY CAR?

You should consult a professional window film dealer and not finalise any random product by your own choice. A professional dealer will be able to provide you information about an assorted range of shades and colours as well as different styles and performances. You would have more options to consider.

• WHICH DEALER IS THE BEST FOR ME?

Do not compromise and settle for any dealer. There are tons of registered companies dealing in window films that you can choose from. Only choose a service provider who provides you good quality products at an affordable price.
