Summer's approaching: 3 good reasons to install your tinted film now!
Apply your tinted film now
Spring and summer are just around the corner, and with them the heat! Are you thinking of installing a tinted film on your car windows? Excellent idea! Not only does it improve comfort by reducing heat and glare, it also adds a touch of style to your vehicle.
If you're still not sure when to take action, here are 3 good reasons to install your tinted film now!
The ideal temperature for perfect installation
Tinted film application requires a temperature that's neither too hot nor too cold (between +15 and +25°C). Spring and early summer are ideal, as the ambient heat makes it easier for the film to adhere, while avoiding the complications associated with high temperatures or even heatwaves.
Key steps to successful tinted film installation
Material preparation
Before you start installing your tinted film, it's essential to have the right equipment:
- Your tinted film pre-cut or cut to the right shade, according to your wishes;
- Soapy water solution;
- A clean sponge;
- A rubber scraper;
- Cutter;
- A soft, clean microfiber cloth.

Careful window cleaning
- Thoroughly clean the inside glass with a soapy solution and a sponge;
- Remove all dust and residues with the clean cloth;
- Use the squeegee to remove all traces of moisture.
Cutting and adjusting tinted film
If your tinted film is not already pre-cut and thermoformed:
- Place it on the outer pane (protective side facing you);
- Roughly cut the film, leaving a margin of a few millimetres.
If your film is already pre-cut, simply soak it in soapy water and place it on the glass.
Tinted film application
Whetheryou want to apply a tinted film to your rear window, side windows or pillarless windows, the application technique is essentially the same:
- Spray the inner pane generously with the soap solution;
- Gently peel off the film's protective layer;
- Apply the tinted film to the still damp glass;
- Gently squeegee out air bubbles from the center to the edges;
- Adjust the tinted film as necessary for perfect alignment.
⚠️ Caution : Leave the film to dry, without touching it, for 24 to 48 hours. Do not lower the glass.
At moderate temperatures, the film conforms better to the glass surface and installation becomes easier.
Fast evaporation for impeccable results
When applying tinted film, it's normal to see a few water bubbles below the surface. But don't panic! These bubbles disappear as they evaporate naturally over the course of a few days.
By installing your film in spring, the evaporation process is accelerated by the heat. The result? A perfect finish faster!
But, as mentioned above, avoid rolling down your windows for at least 48 hours to allow the film to adhere properly!

Installing tinted film requires patience and precision. By starting now, you can take your time and work without pressure.
