The Curing Process
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.

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.

The Curing Process
Car window tint in the greater Houston Area
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”. You shouldn’t roll your windows down for at least 48 hrs depending on the weather conditions. Although the weather is a factor in the curing process it doesn’t impact the installation process nor does it interefere with it. The curing process is slow because the moisture between the film and glass must evaporate through the film after the installation is completed.
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 and the windows can be safely rolled down. 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 Roll your windows down for the next 48 hours
- 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.
