Once the window film has been installed, it’s very common to see a slight haziness and/or small water ripples/pockets. This is a normal part of the adhesive bonding process called “curing”. Depending on the film type and weather conditions, it may take up to 30 days for the film to be fully cured. The curing process is slow because the moisture between the film and glass must evaporate through the film after the installation is completed. Sputtered and heavy security films such as 8 mil or higher may take the longer to dry and may take even longer for any hazy appearance to disappear.
Care and Maintenance
The window film should not be clean or touch during the “curing” progress, once the film is dry and cured, it’s then safe for the film to be cleaned. The best cleaner is a damp towel and a dry towel. You may also clean the film surface with any normal strength glass cleaner. Products with amonia will not damage the film however caution should be used, if used in an unreasonable quantity or if the film is left to soak in it the amonia will cause the life expectancy of the film to decrease.
Don’t
use any abrasive cleaners, industrial strength glass cleaners and/or any other window cleaning tools that may scratch the window film. Remember the surface of the film is coated with a scratch resistant it’s not scratch proof coating.

Sugar Land, Pearland, Galveston and Greater Houston area, Sun Shield Window Tint can help you protect your Home with residential window tinting. There are many benefits of home window tinting, which is the process of appliying solar window film to the interior side of windows. The primary purpose of solar window film is to deflect the direct sunlight and heat. There are a number of reasons that you might want to do this…
Defend the health and comfort of you and your family
Excessive exposure to direct sunlight is just bad for you. It can cause deterioration of the skin which leads to premature aging. It can also cause dry skin which involves itchiness and rashes, not to mention the increased chance of skin cancer.
Residential window tinting blocks 99% of the ultraviolet light that causes such damage. It is a good idea to control your exposure to sun as much as possible. Save the sunlight exposure for doing fun things outside. Protect your home from the vicious rays.
Protect the interior of your house
Sunlight that comes into the house is phenomenal for fading carpet, drapes and furniture. The heat from it can also damage electronics and digital items and cause wood to warp.
In addition to its blocking power, solar residetial window tinting can passively reflect and absorb up to 77% of incoming solar heat which keeps it from entering the house. Don’t put up with damage from “natural elements” inside your home. Protect your investments, keep them in excellent shape and make them last longer.
Improve finances by conserving energy
Solar residential window tinting decreases the heat that comes in from the outside which make it easier and cheaper to keep the house cool in the summer. It also has an insulating effect that will keep in the heat in the house during the winter, which will drastically decrease your electrical bill.
For 2009 only, the federal government is giving everybody a 30% off tax credit for home window tint. Consumers who purchases qualifying energy control window tinting for residential use from Jan. 1, 2009 to Dec. 31, 2009 are eligible for 2009 tax credit up to $1500 per taxpayer.
Guard your privacy
Privacy matters, but why would you want to keep your shades pulled down all the time? Home window tinting ensures that privacy during the day and it doesn’t block your view of the world!
Home window tint comes in many different types. If you want to protect the privacy inside your home, choose a tint with a higher reflective rate. That way, you can see out but you can’t see in during the day. At night it does not ensure as much privacy, so it is good to close the blinds at night after you’ve enjoyed the view all day!
Make your home more attractive
Residential window tinting can make your home look better from the outside. Curb appeal is important to most homeowners. When decorating the inside of house, you are not going to use curtains that don’t match in one room. So, why would the outside of your house show different colors of curtains?
Home window tint will block or obscure the view of the things that are inside the house for the exterior (depending on its reflectivity). Solar window film comes in many colors and shades as well so it can complement your home’s style.
Sun Shield Window Tint can meet all your tinting needs and help you with any window tinting project. Call us today (281) 748 – 5660 to speak to one of our representatives or make your appointment for a free consultation

The 2009 American Recovery and Reinvestment Act reinstated federal tax cuts for consumers who make certain energy-efficient improvements to their home. For 2009, window film has been added to the list of improvements. Now anyone who has purchased qualifying solar control window film between Jan. 1 and Dec. 31, 2009 can receive a 2009 tax credit. For those who have not yet purchased film, they still have time. give Sun Shield Window Tint a call (281) 748 – 5660 and get the product install before Dec. 31, 2009 to receive a 2009 tax credit.
Money in Your Pocket
A tax credit is more valuable than a tax deduction. Tax credits directly reduces your income tax, unlike a deduction, which reduces the amount of income subject to tax. The credit then directly increases the tax refund you receive or decreases the amount you have to pay. Homeowners can receive a 30% credit on the costs of window film, up to $1500. Installation charges do not apply.
Making it Simple Complete 2009 version of IRS form 5695 and file 2009 Income Tax Returns by April 15, 2010. Forms will be available for downloadable at www.energystar.gov or www.irs.gov, along with a list of other available energy efficiency tax credits. Maintain copies of the dealer invoice for the window film product, separated by cost for film and installation. Installation costs are not elegible for the tax credit. You will also need a copy of the manufacturer’s certification statement which determines which products qualify based upon where you reside. Make sure you keep a copy of both for your records.
Protecting Houston from the Scorching Heat
Two Ways to Save Money
Energy efficiency can lower your federal tax bill and your monthly energy bill. Heat gained through windows makes up to 48 percent of your summer utility bill. Solar control window film reduces heat gain by 80 percent, which helps lower energy consumption and energy bills.
Other Benefits of Window Film
In addition to money savings, window film can increase indoor comfort, reduce fading of your home furnishings, and protect your family against harmful UV rays. Window film is also energy efficient. According to the Alliance to Save Energy, energy efficiency is the quickest, cheapest, and cleanest way to extend our world’s energy supplies.
To Purchase Film This 30% window film tax credit only applies to the cost of window film. It cannot be applied for the cost of labor to install the film.

Tint is the process of bonding tinting film to a piece of window glass. Tinting film is usually made out of clear polyester film with a very thin and even layer of tinting agents such as ceramic, dyes and/or metals deposited onto the film.
A common misconception is that window tint is dark, and night-time driving is impossible when a car is tinted. The truth is that there are many films of any darkness available to suit your preferences. Another misconception is that the darker the tint the more heat it blocks. Thanks to new technology such as nano-ceramic, films don’t have to be dark to block a huge amount of heat. The darker the film the more light it will block. Also, unlike sunglasses that do impair your ability to drive at night, tinting film is designed to reduce glare and not impede night-time driving. State window tint laws also protect consumers against illegal tint that may put them in harm’s way during night-time driving.
Another misconception is that window tint is bonded onto the outer surface of auto glass. Window tint is applied on the inner surface which also protects the film itself from flying debris outside the car.
Once tinting film is applied to a window, the characteristics of how visible light comes into the car changes. Normal auto glass without tint reflects around 5% of visible light (known as VLR%), absorbs another 5% (known as VLA%), and transmits 90% of visible light (known as VLT%) into the car.
Depending on the type and quality of tinting film applied to a window, these percentages change dramatically. Some tint are more reflective, and others absorb more light. The number you will most commonly see is the VLT% (Visible Light Transmittance). VLT% tells you how much visible light is allowed to shine into the car, and also indirectly how dark the tint looks. There are also other factors that determine how dark the film will look, such as the color of the interior and exterior.
Tinting film doesn’t just block visible light. It also blocks harmful cancer-causing ultra-violet (UV-A and UV-B) rays as well as infra-red (IR) rays that cause heat to build up in your car; however, how effective a film is in blocking these rays depends on the type of film, the manufacturer, and the quality of installation.
