In this day and age where everything is usually fast paced, having your own car is slowly becoming more of a necessity than a luxury. Owning one can save you a lot from the hassle. But cars being a necessity does not mean poor quality car accessories and protection are excusable. And window tints are one of the protections cars need that are often overlooked upon.
Aside from cars, window tints can also be installed in homes and offices for the same two important reasons– protection from the sun radiation and to increase privacy and security. But to be able to achieve these two, one must know how to spot the telltale signs of good (and bad) window tinting.
- No gaps between the tint and window edges
A good tinting service uses a computerized system for precise cutting. This is done to ensure that there will be little to no gap between the tint and the edges of your windows. Steer clear away from the one-size-fits-all tints as this is a clear sign of a bad window tinting; and also, these kinds of tints usually end up leaving large gaps that might cause problems in the long run.
- A good tint does not easily fade
A window tint turning into dark hues of bluish purple is a clear indicator of a bad window tinting. Window tints come in different colors such as black, gray, brown, yellow, pink, and purple even. However, low quality window tints will show obvious discoloration as time passes by. Remember, high quality window tints do not fade easily even after years of usage and exposure to the sun.
- No bubbles
Aside from the discoloration, bubbling is also one of the most obvious indicators that your window tints were done poorly. It is usual for bubbles to appear within the first few hours of the tint installation. However, if the bubbles stayed for weeks, it is an explicit sign that the tints used were cheap and of low quality, and must be replaced as soon as possible.
- Provides good protection from the heat
One of the main purposes of installing window tints is to reduce the heat coming into your vehicle or homes and a good window tint does that job with ease. On the other hand, a low quality tinting will do the complete opposite.
To be able to check if a lot of heat is coming through, all you have to do is to place one hand on the interior side of your tinted window and the other hand outside. If the interior feels just as hot as how your other hand feels, you will know that the tint is not doing its job properly. And this is probably a result of using a cheap window tint.
- Good tints do not mess up with signal receptions
Metallic tints can be quite popular and appealing as it can keep your vehicle a lot cooler than the usual window tints. But there’s one important thing some people miss– metallic tints can mess up with the phone or radio signal. So if you are someone who receives and makes important phone calls in your vehicle, or if you enjoy listening to radio, installing a metallic type of window tint can result in a nightmare.
