By | Automotive

Vehicle window tinting is something many people don’t give a second thought. While you may know that you want it done, how much research have you done to ensure you will be happy with the overall result? Unfortunately, most people only notice a window tint job when done improperly or when the window tint has gone bad. Fortunately, these are easy pitfalls to avoid. We wanted to give you four things to consider before you get your vehicle tinted.

Answer These 4 Questions For A Great Vehicle Window Tinting Job
    • Do you only want the look or do you want performance too? – Just like most other items you can purchase for your vehicle, there are numerous levels of window tint quality and performance. You first need to determine if you only want the look of tinted windows or if you actually would like some noticeable heat and UV rejection as well. While an inexpensive film might make your windows look the way you want, it may barely reject any heat at all. The good news is that with the latest generations of window tint you can have great looks and tremendous performance. Spend some time discussing your options with our team at Diamond Window Tinting so that you can make the right choice to give you the combination of desired look and heat and UV rejecting performance.
    • How experienced is the installer? – Many of the modifications done to a vehicle can be done by individuals with a variety of skill levels without drastically effecting the end result. However, window tint is quite different. An experienced installer can make all the difference between you have a great looking tint job that you can be proud of or an eyesore not worthy of your Vehicle Window Tinting - 4 Things to Consider Before Your Window Tint Jobvehicle. A good installer can make an even average window tint look great based on the quality of their installation. Likewise, an inexperienced installer can take the best window film available and get a substandard result based on flaws in the installation. To have a tint job that will last and that you can be proud of, make sure to verify a company’s experience level and ask to see some examples of their work.
    • Who is standing behind the product and installation? – We would all love to live in a world where things did not go wrong. Unfortunately, things can sometimes turn out different than we would like. Just like any other product you might purchase, there can be situations where a window tint will fail and need to be replaced. It is when this happens that the company standing behind the film that was installed and the shop that did the installation become very important. We use only top quality film from reputable manufacturers that come with a solid warranty. Any quality vehicle window tinting should come with warranty information from the manufacturer that spells out the terms of the warranty and the process to get something corrected if there is ever an issue. If a shop does not tell you what brand of window tint is being installed or provide you with warranty information, that should be a red flag to look elsewhere for your installation.
    • Is The Chosen Window Tint Legal In My Area? – The laws pertaining to automotive window tint vary across the United States. You will want to familiarize yourself with the laws regarding vehicle tint in the state that your vehicle is registered. You can check out the information about window tint laws by clicking HERE.

Commercial Decorative Window Film For Privacy

Commercial Decorative Window Film For Privacy & Branding

By | Decorative window film

With so many commercial spaces being re-imagined after the pandemic, many have been considering custom glass panels for privacy, branding or design. We wanted to share 5 reasons why commercial decorative window film is a great choice for accomplishing this. Check out the details below to learn more.

5 Reasons Commercial Decorative Window Film Is A Great Choice

  1. Commercial Decorative Window Film For Privacy & Branding - Decorative Glass FilmsRetrofittable to Existing Glass – You can avoid the excessive cost of removing your existing glass and replacing it with a custom piece of glass as decorative glass film is applied to your existing glass panel.
  2. Nearly Unlimited Options – Unlike actual custom glass, designs using decorative glass film are nearly limited by only your imagination. Through the use of potter cut film or custom printing, your dreams can truly become reality.
  3. Cost Effective – Even basic custom glass panels can get costly. However, decorative glass film allows you to implement much more intricate and involved designs at a fraction of what having a custom piece of glass would cost.
  4. Much Easier to Clean – When the actual glass panel is customized to give a frosted or sand blasted look, it creates a rough surface in the glass. This surface attracts dust, oil from people’s hand, etc. and begins to look dirty over time. As the dirt becomes embedded in the surface, it becomes harder to remove it completely and keep the decorative panel looking clean. On the other hand, designs utilizing decorative glass films are easily cleaned so that they continue to look as good as the day they were installed.
  5. Easily Removable or Replaceable – Unlike a piece of custom glass, decorative glass film can be removed if desired from the glass panel to which it is applied. This makes it ideal for leased spaces and office space where the use of particular areas and design may change over time.

Overall, commercial decorative window film is a versatile and effective way to improve the look, privacy and design in your commercial space. It is a cost-effective option that can provide a variety of benefits. Here are a couple more reasons to consider this innovative product.

  • Added Privacy: Decorative window film can provide privacy without blocking out all natural light. This is ideal for offices, conference rooms and other areas where you need to control who can see inside.
  • Enhanced Branding and Design : Decorative window film can be used to promote your business or brand and enhance the decor of your space. You can choose a custom film with your company logo or other branding elements, or you can create a custom design that looks great.
