We at Solar Solutions Window Tinting of Vero Beach see these bubbled up windows all the time, and correct them for customers.
So why is the window film bubbled? Most think it is due to a poor installation. However most of the time it is the quality of the product more so then the installation. So which company is the bad one? Is it Llumar? 3M? Madico? Johnson? Solar Gard? Flex Films? American Standard? Maxx Pro? Aegis? These are just some of the film companies on the market, and there are plenty more. So which company is the bad one? Or are they all bad?
Here is the problem which most consumers don’t understand and aren’t told when asking about window tinting. It is just as important to know what type of window film is being applied as it is to know what brand of window film is being used. For example Llumar has four different types of auto film. 3M has six different types. Johnson has seven different types and Solar Gard a whopping TEN different types. The different types all have construction and cost differences associated with them.
So a finger being pointed at a particular brand is not always where the finger should be pointed. The blame generally falls on the business owner looking to maximize profits by using a lower cost window film.
So when looking to get window film applied to your vehicle make sure to ask exactly what type of window film you are getting along with the manufacturer. Solar Solutions Window Tinting will be happy to answer any questions regarding the types and film brand we use and why we use them.
