I have just had window film installed but there are bubbles, what should I do?
Once you have window film installed, it is normal for them to look like they are full of bubbles that look like hundreds of mini dimples, this is the normal drying process where our window film application solution is drying in the mini air channells underneath the film. If you could leave your windows for 30 days before contacting us, to allow the film to fully cure. If we installed your film and the problem persists after 30 days, let us know and we will replace the film for free.
I have condensation in my windows after installation, what should I do?
In many cases, this will evaporate over time as the glass heats up however condensation inside a double-glazed unit is usually a sign of a failed seal, which allows moisture to get between the panes. Our film is applied to the surface of the glass and doesn’t affect the integrity of the unit, but during installation, we do use a slip solution (water and soap) to apply the film. If the seal was already compromised, some of this moisture may have found its way in.
