Q: IS THERE A ” ONE-WAY MIRROR” TINT THAT WILL MAKE IT SO I CAN SEE OUT BUT OTHERS CANNOT SEE IN BOTH DURING THE DAY & AT NIGHT?

A: No. We do have reflective films that will allow you to see out & restrict others from seeing in as long as the exterior light source is greater than that of the interior (i.e. during the day). However, once the exterior light source is eliminated (i.e. the sun goes down) people outside will be able to see in once again. Other options in this situation would include decorative frosted window tinting.

Q: DOES WINDOW TINTING HAVE TO BE DARK TO REDUCE INCOMING HEAT?

A: No. SG Window Tint actually specializes in extremely light window films that are excellent at reducing heat. In fact, the V-Kool window film line that we carry is solely comprised of VERY light films that are excellent at reducing heat.

Q: WHAT WINDOW FILMS DO YOU HAVE THAT WILL REDUCE THE FADING & SUN DAMAGE HAPPENING IN MY HOME?

A: All of the films we carry eliminate 99% of harmful Ultra-Violet radiation that causes the majority of fading & skin damage.

Q: DOES APPLYING WINDOW TINT VOID THE WARRANTY ON MY WINDOWS?

A: As with any retrofit modification, window film does void any remaining manufacture warranty you have on your windows. However, to compensate for this, the manufactures of our window film will add a new warranty onto your windows. Click on these links to learn more about our Commercial Warranties & our Residential Warranties. These warranties are added whether you have remaining window warranty prior to the film installation or not (many of our customers’ windows are actually out of warranty). Please contact us with additional warranty questions.

Q: WILL WINDOW TINTING CAUSE MY WINDOWS TO BREAK?

Window tint can cause what is called “Thermal Breakage”. Thermal breakage is the cracking of a window as a result of excessive heat buildup between double paned glass. Window film increases the risk of thermal breakage because it traps addition heat on the surface of the glass. However, this is a very rare occurrence even for tinted windows; 1/2 of 1% of all filmed windows break. SunGlo goes to great lengths to exclusively offer products with a lower “Solar Energy Absorption Rate” to decrease this risk even further. Finally, if in the rare event this does happen, you are covered at no cost to you with your window film warranty.

Q: WHAT TYPES OF WINDOWS ARE NOT COVERED BY THESE WARRANTIES?

Skylights & wired glass windows are not covered under window film warranties. Additionally, if you have a unique glass type, it will be reviewed in the consultation process to confirm that it qualifies for a warranty.

Q: WHEN WILL I RECEIVE MY WARRANTY PAPERWORK?

At the final walk through of your installation you will receive the warranty documentation & instructions on how to complete the warranty with the window tint manufacture. You must keep a copy of the warranty information & proof of purchase in order for the warranty to be valid.

Q: IS THE WINDOW TINT ITSELF WARRANTIED?

A: Yes. Most of our residential products are lifetime warrantied. Commercial warranties vary by product. Click on these links to learn more about our Commercial Warranties & our Residential Warranties.
