However, there are also other factors which will increase thermal stress such as: partial shading of windows from overhangs, tightly fitting drapes or blinds, signs or decals on windows, and heating and cooling vents directed at glass. The use of window films will increase the thermal stress on sunlit glass. The first type, thermal stress, is the only one which film may affect. Twisting Stress-from building or window frame sagging or settling.Impact Stress-from flying objects, hail, baseballs.Tensile Stress-from the weight of the glass itself.Thermal Stress-from absorption of solar radiation.There are five types of stress, which may cause glass breakage: This is part of the drying process and should dissipate within 30 to 90 days.

Now that the window is prepared the installer will apply the pre-cut piece of film by removing the plastic liner and activating the adhesive with a water solution.They will use a commercial razor blade scraper and sponge to prepare the window to be tinted. Next, the installer(s) will thoroughly clean the interior of the glass with a biodegradable soapy water solution.Typically, a 3-foot clearance to the window will allow sufficient access. The installer(s) will survey the window area and place a drop cloth down to protect the area where the window film will be applied.
