Window tinting film for the home. Installation, advantages, and options!

If the sun penetrates through the windows and hits the room very much, or you wake up in the morning and the sun shines in your eyes, then the solution will not need to change the glass or windows. I'll talk about this today. And those who watch my videos and subscribe to my channel know that we are building a house and that we broke up with the developer. He let us down very badly and we kicked him out. And now we finish building the house on our own and solve everything step by step. At this point, we leaned against the windows. As you can see, the sun shines from here and hits us directly on the central facade. That is due to this, our room is heated initially. Can you say that special double glazed windows had to be installed? Yes, this is what we consider energy saving double glazing, but the developer ordered simple ones. In the end, we had to get out of this situation. Initially, we wanted to replace the double glazed windows, but when they made the calculation, we, to be honest, were crazy about the cost and decided to go another way. We chose the technology of tinting our windows using film. Window tinting technology has been used for about 15 years. Many professionals have already appeared in this field who are engaged in this. And today we invited one of these professionals to tint our windows. And most importantly, he will tell you about all the pitfalls about all the nuances about all those myths that exist about tinted film for windows. One, and the main task of which we want to achieve this is so that we do not have to see what is happening inside the room during the day. That is, this is the most important and main task. Well, it is already a secondary task that the room does not heat up. That is, we need some kind of film. Protect the room so that there is a comfortable temperature. And today Alexander came to visit us. Hello, Alexander. Good afternoon here. He promised us to do quality work. And plus, in addition to this, to tell how everything will happen, he will tell about those moments that are trying in the market for these services. I will probably impose on you one and the main question that interests my subscribers. How much does it cost? Well, the range is the price of the work that is darkening the glass because initially, as I already said, we tried. I started ordering, well, not ordering calculate how much it will cost to replace double glazed windows with energy saving ones. The price is just space. The price range depends on the type of film, but averages 2600 and above, depending on the type of film and access to the glass. That is the difficulty of installation. That is, it could be high altitude work. Their grill is there and so on. But the average price of 2600 square meters is the work of the film under. And we calculate directly based on your glazing, not the cost of the film. This is also a factor that many people keep quiet about. If the film's width is about one and a half meters, yes, yes. Centimeter and your window turns out to be, let's say, 20 meters, meter 20. Yes, this is the remainder, which costs 30 centimeters by default, included in the price. Yes, only they already talk about this at the end when they glued it. That is, the client seems to have calculated the same cost. And as a rule, then this headache begins. In our case, we count directly on your glazing. All these trimmings are also our costs. But therefore, I think that it is better to hedge against such a moment. It is better to draw up some kind of agreement where the price will be specified. That is so that you are not imposed on any additional services. In the end, you are not taken aback by the price. So it is better to always hedge and do it. So the question is, on which side is the film glued correctly? Yes, because if everything is clear in my house, you put a ladder there from the inside of the house, you pasted it. But the situation is like this. You live there on the 15th floor. You have a healthy window. It doesn't open. Yeah. And as I understand it, technically, it will be very difficult to stick the film on the outside because you need some mountaineering equipment or enough from the inside. In general, according to technology, the film is glued from inside the room, but for stronger, better efficiency. Of course, when the film is glued from the outside, the effect will be better. But as a rule, the film is always glued from the inside. But also we use technology that we glue it from the outside. But again, if there are accesses, that is, if this plastic window in the caps are removed, we remove the double glass with glue back into the packaging. But this is, again, the standard clutch, the water of the apartment, as you say, the 15th floor and above there, as a rule, aluminum goes. And as a rule, there is huge glass plus the wind load is coming in. But it is not always possible to take glass. And most importantly, I also had one right away. The question is, will the double glazed windows be removed? Does the adhesive strength of the film affect when it is glued under the cover? Or can this film be glued without removing the cover without notching the double glazed window? None of the two methods are correct, but time goes by. Everyone has already learned, let's say, stepped forward. When dismantling double glazed windows, we have an impact on the profile itself, on the staple. That is, such burrs may appear. This is one. And most importantly, any glass has micro cracks. And when there is physical impact, you don't understand it there, do you? The master squeezed somewhere or there really was a micro crack and everything burst. Well, yes, there is a series. Yes, yes. Very high risks. As a rule, we don't remove the staple. We cut off everything there, about a millimeter gap around the entire perimeter. It is so technical and adhesive based film. If it is glued correctly, then it will not stick. Yeah, that's 100 percent. Well, most importantly, look, it's probably also one of the main questions, which is probably me. When I spoke with Alexander, I inquired about job guarantees, especially regarding issues like peeling corners. So this will be my problem or Alexander still has some kind of warranty obligations. I even I will even supplement the warranty, not just for the work on our part, but for the work and the film. This is a fundamental point, because even if the corner has moved away, in our case, the warranty for the work and the film is three years. Then as a rule in the market, they say that the year is two thirty five, ten years. They say job guarantees. If your corner is gone, he will come to you and say, well, I stuck it on you. It's glued, which means it turns out to be a low quality film. Here's your phone number. Call the supplier and figure it out. That is there are such moments. So I say it is very important to choose a person who will do the lining for you. And most importantly, again, some warranty obligations must be specified in the contract. And now we'll go we'll go to the house to glue the windows and more for us. A very important point is the choice of exactly the film that will suit us. If it is leaning against the window, it is not always clear because it does not fit tightly. And well, let's say the effect is not visible 100 percent. And Alexander suggested to us, he says, let's test samples. We'll just stick different films on the windows and you'll immediately understand what suits you best. And that's exactly what we are going to do now. Now we are preparing to carefully glue three glasses using different films, silver 15, silver 35 and bronze. He could comprehend what fits him best and matches his preferences. Let us quickly demonstrate all the detailed aspects as preparation is crucial before initiating the process of washing and gluing. We need to ensure the proper handling of the glass. Clean it with a knife. It is very sharp, like a razor that is powerful glass, and we will clean it. It will remove the grease stains there and so on. That is this is a very important factor, because without this tool, we would not wash these windows. In any case, there would have been some grains of sand left. Yeah, all this is very important. But to be honest, didn't you know that you would still need to process all this with a blade? Yes, definitely here. But Alexander says that this is an important point in preparation. So look, if a master doesn't do such a thing, then he's not a master master. Alexander noticed some liquid being added there, though he failed to identify what it precisely was. Ordinary liquid soap, because our water itself is hard. We just don't stick the film on the water since we add liquid soap here. It deactivates the adhesive on the film and allows us to calmly expel water and bubbles from under the film. Yeah, everything's perfect. That is, it gives temporary play, yes, to work with the film so that the glue does not stick directly when it comes into contact with the glass. You can still push it a little to the right and left to expel the air bubbles. That is, it gives temporary play. Play for working with film. Film house. All this work needs to be done consistently. Now. During the film application process, you will also receive professional My Windows services at no additional cost. Even if these benefits seem limited, they add a delightful bonus. Yes, put that. And at this stage, we will meticulously clean the glass using specialized tools as directed by Max. Utilizing advanced methods, we ensure optimal preparation before commencing the process. Wait, a special thing that won't scratch this one. Yeah, yeah, yeah, sure. Well, that's how greasy water is applied, right? At this point in time, we're discussing the current situation. We ensure cleanliness from the top, removing any potential causes of leaks. You knock it down with a jet. Removing the protective liner. And Sasha, am I correct in understanding that you're already aligning one factory block to an edge to optimize additional blocks later? Not cut, yes. But on plastic windows, as a rule, there is a slightly introduced profile. Here we have a factory edge. Look here, what a gap there is. It's not there. It's big here. That is, you still need to do some overlap. This is who I'm talking to. Yes, the film should have a margin on each side. Everyone started to kick out. Not everything is done from the center. It turns out, yes, that is, we have all this coming to an end. Well, this is standard. It probably does that from the top down to the edges. And that's it. Well, indeed, this is just the play I was describing. Data can be shifted, allowing film adjustments during editing, despite it not yet sticking properly. And after how long can it be completely used to wash there? Let's say it doesn't achieve when it dries. At least a day, at least a day is needed. That's all. But I really want to eat in 12 hours. This is exactly what you should want. Yes. So that this is how I can wash a clean window again. Yes. This is also an outing. It permits acquiring more efficiently on the surface cover altogether. This is how it is expelled with water. Sand. Yes, I will participate a little in the gluing of windows. Yes. Look, we waterproof these adjacencies to the windows. It's not in vain. We didn't do it in vain. You see, now Vadika is clapping. He wanted to get No. Look, you can't hold back here around the corner. You don't need to come back. When gluing the film, the film is preferably on both sides. Spray with this soap solution to remove electrostatics when we remove the protective liner so that it doesn't attract dust. Yes. I accept gold very much. Time. Hold on tightly now and I'll personally take action myself. Let her not slip out. Don't be afraid. Pull everything. You are intercepted there with a reserve. It's OK. Stop simultaneously with me and then throw your hand. We should all collectively join forces and work together as one. But this is done in order not to make the hole on film. Yes, I understand correctly. Yes. Yes. Yes. Everything now is based on glue. We wear a soap solution to deactivate the glue and calmly throw it away. Carefully place everything gently onto the glass surface precisely and delicately. Here you go. That is, if suddenly a piece of paper broke off and fell with a layer of glue, then everything is probably already broken. That's it. Soap dries faster under sunlight, leaving no whiteness. Sometimes it's just the crowd that complicates its effectiveness, pulling out all sorts of results. Yes. And so we based the test samples. This is silver. Thirty five percent. Well, let's just say let's not stop. She cannot be seen at all. That is, this is not a glued film. I'll refuse the glued film far away. Well, the difference is practically not visible. This is bronze team 15 percent and this is silver team also 15 percent. Well, you can already see here it's a little brown. Well, this is such a silver neutral color. And now let's see how it looks from the outside. So we tinted three glasses times 23. They are in different tinting film. And that's where Alexander stands now. It's not tinted glass. Here we see it. I immediately asked Alexander to step back a meter, but let's say that's it. Yes, the hand appears there. You cannot see him himself. That's what they asked. Now approach the central to this one, to the bronze one. Well, I don't see it either. So wave to Sasha. And I still cannot see anything. And this is the brightest one. We have 35 shades silver. Now I'll step aside. I cannot see the camera, but I can see a silhouette with my eyes and we lean more. That's it. This sample is called silver 15 and we will install it on our windows. You. So we decided on the film. We chose this sample and the guys are now starting to prepare the surface of the glasses. They usually work like they told me. First glue the complex moments. Here are my complicated ones. These are the triangles. First, you will need to work from the ladder. Well, plus the form is so non-standard. Did I correctly pick a Korean made film? Alexander Koresky enlightened me on what other films are available in the market nowadays. Essentially two main options dominate our market, China and Korea, with Korea often being the superior choice. We don't have a brand of brands such as those from the States. If they are brought, they are only locally to order. I browsed Tavito and noticed many claiming to offer American films. Are these just deceptive sellers or is there some truth to it? Well, let's call them not particularly conscientious guys. Well, that's where they got America from. Well, except for their words. Let's break it down. What would an authentic American film truly cost and how does that compare? I can even say for sure. Specifically, here is a mirror sunscreen film. A square meter for clients would cost from four and a half. Well, somewhere four from zero for 30 and a half. One thousand rubles a square meter is already from a dollar there to play to the rate there and so on. Well, it is just economically unjustified. Well, the question itself, although you have already answered, is it just worth overpaying for me? Because, well, how much does this market service? Korea will actually last 78 years, America 10, 12 years. Here, it costs two times big, two times more expensive, and the functionality is absolutely the same. Yes, America has a slightly better anti-therapy layer that is overtime. Micro scratches do not appear there from washing and so on. But this is, again, for people who are straight patents in general. This is generally visible for everyday life. It will never be 100 percent. So that's how we already have Chinese films on the market. There are relatively even good ones. Yes, some how to correctly say rulers are really very good. Are there any that you don't want to take for free? Yeah, well, it's a complete hat, right? Even though this is China, they don't even hide it. Yes, not a bad film, but my personal opinion again, she's not well, she has unjustifiable, unjustified costs. Listen, Sasha, but the question is, but they cover cars with the same films. No, there is a distinction between training automotive films and mirrored architectural sunscreen films. Notably, architectural films resist temperature changes and maintain their integrity. Well, that is the four legs are curved and I pulled them hot there. They hit the sphere, give the shape of the film and then glue it from the inside. In the case of architectural films, there are no options. That is, it only sticks on flat stacks. And this is also a big plus over time. Even if the double glazing film heats up, it remains intact. Deformed. Yes, as we cut all these gaps, they will not increase. Yeah, this is also a very important factor. And how to remove this film then, if suddenly there is a marriage that is within 12 o'clock, it can be easily peeled off by hand. But what if something happens in a year? After a year, what changes? Probably nothing significant. I imagine dismantling might only occur far in the future, maybe 1789 years from now. But after eight years, how can she, let's say, dismantle it using a hairdryer somehow? No, a hairdryer isn't used at all. The corner is usually scratched. Yeah, the film itself is neat, but it's not here. I'm just. Well, I understand that. Of course, you need to jerk it sharply and your canvas will come off entirely. This is also a very important factor. This is what concerns good films. Yeah, that is, these pieces will not remain so that you can spend your youth here in order to clean this glass. You pull it sharply. It is removed with a canvas. Then you take the soap solution again. Spray all this glass and clean the glass with a knife. The glass will be perfect again without scratches, as if there was never film here. But it seems to me that it is probably better to call a professional for this task, too, so as not to damage the glass for good. And how can you probably not confuse yourself there for a couple of weeks? Yes, in order to peel off these pieces 100 percent. That is because in any case, after this film, the following will happen. Yes, you will already get used to training and you will already simply remain simple glasses. You will not perceive. By the way, here there are consumers who buy cheap film. Well, like gluing foil to film. Well, it's sold everywhere there. I don't know. There it costs 50 rubles there, I think. But in the marketplaces, this is a complete hot one. These films have drawbacks. For instance, this foil isn't just unattractive from both sides. Visibility from inside is greatly hindered as well. People also have the carelessness to warm them there, too, on water and the soapy solution under the sun. It boils so much that even we with our tools cannot clean these glasses and the foil itself there and peel it off. But such stains remain. They are impossible simply with acetone. Then we just haven't tried it. It's just wearable. Noticeably double glazed. Yes, yes. Cheap savings. Moreover, since it is practically opaque when it is bad to glue it to glass, it will usually be like this on the profile. It also heats up with tape glue so much that the profile turns black. That is, well, the sun reflects it here. It burns out the profile directly. That is such a saving. Well, yes. So here we go. As they say, the stingy such. The question is probably like this in the comments on anyone. They would ask me this question about thermal film. Tell my followers which one exists, but normal film. What assignment in what cases it should be used and in which categorically probably you should not pay attention to it at all about non thermal films. They will 100 percent call and recommend that it was necessary to glue it and so on. And thermal films. In general, we are this type. They are practically transparent. This is the essence that the glass is tinted. You don't lose the flow of light at the same time you see everything and it shouldn't be hot in principle. Yes, it should be. But provided that this is single glazing, that is one glass or this is called glazing like here. Well, where do they do it on balconies on lodges? It is still very tightly used in cars, but the car has a single glass. And when the car is moving, it has a wind flow that cools the glass. In the case when this double glazing is single chamber two or three, it becomes absolutely useless. That is, yes, you are standing in the sun. It does not burn you with race blocking ultraviolet light there eliminates interior burnout. But the double glazing itself heats up like crazy. All this, roughly speaking, would turn into a huge battery. It was really stuffy if. Well, listen, by car, let's say if the car is in motion, yes, but it is parked outside, let's say in the sun, that is, the car also heats up inside. Well, you go to the parking lot, leave it in the parking lot, roll up the entire water bottle and open it. What do you think it will be cool there? It will be crazy stuffy there. What's the concern? Is it worth the thermal glue here? Let's say in my version or or why isn't it worth it? Tell me in more detail. A material film is definitely not an option in this case at all. In the case when it is a two or three chamber or single chamber double glazing. Why? Because of the film. According to technology, it should be open from inside the room. It works like a filter, meaning you stand in the sun. It doesn't burn you. It blocks ultraviolet. You don't have burnout and so on. But it's not ultraviolet that warms you. But infrared rays. This is one. And yes, you are standing. The sun itself does not burn the rays. But the double glazing itself begins to heat up very much. And all this glazing would turn into a huge battery. It would be stuffy here. This is one. So there are two options for Saturman film or it is glued on the outside. But then the service life of 34 years due to the influence of the external environment, it will simply crack. It is afraid of frost. Yeah. In general, film in principle, or if there is no way to glue it from the outside and the only option is to glue it from the inside, since let's say it is forbidden to change the facade of the building there, glue from the inside. But then you need to take into account that you need good air circulation. Yeah, that is from the stove and the ventilation there and so on. But this problem with mirror film no longer exists. There is no mirror and there is no alternative only. So yeah, a hundred percent. And you also said what? Because of the thermal film, if it's wrong, they pasted it on the wrong side. There's even a large double glaze window there. He can just burst. We see when in principle with glue from the inside of the film, in any case, we always have some degree of heating of the double glaze glass. If you glue black film, like in cars, even in this format of double glazed windows, Cherma shock is provided at 99%. That is, they will crack from heat. If we glue thermal film, then in principle, they would withstand these dimensions. But if the double glazed window, let's say is already bigger. Well, it's already bigger. They're roughly speaking a square and a half. And the whole structure is bigger. The probability of thermal shock is very high, especially if it is a double glaze chamber, uh, heating more creates a mirror film in this regard. It also gives a degree of heating of the double glazing, but it is already minimal and it essentially creates a reflector due to this direct sunlight is cut off. Everything just works well. Yes. Accordingly, if, and if we would, let's say glue the DSLR on the outside, the effect was even better and we would have eliminated the complete heating of the double glaze windows. But here again, there are nuances. Is there access? Uh, well, in order to glue the outside better, you need to remove the double glazing so that if the film is glued, it must be pressed better. But this is a completely different price tag for editing this film, different ones, labor costs. And I, again, if you have already glued this mirror film, well, it needs to be well protected. You need to glue two layers of armor film. Then it's service life. There will already be 78 years chair. Flu. There are many points in general for each object. Everything is always individual. There are many points from which to proceed and what tasks still remain the customer in front of this film. So yes, but the most important thing it seems to me is that people need to understand. Yes. If you ordered window coverings, what will they charge you? Probably most likely thermal because it's more expensive, right? I would even say this firstly, initially, every two requests from the customer are non-thermal. Well, because he doesn't have it. It's just completely technical. Well, all knowledge. Well, there is no completeness of information and unscrupulous performer. Of course, he will say, let's stick the thermal one because his check just grows several times over. That's all. Well, that's why it's profitable for people to steam non-thermal in order to make money on the same volume. Let's say there are 23 times more. Yes, here is 23 times more. Well, that's the approach. Everyone has their own view on this. I think we need better. You need to solve the customer's problem and that's it. Now the front facade is completely prepared and ready to showcase. This is such a training. That is, this is what the untinted window looks like. Here it is tinted. And now I'll show you how it all looks from the street side. Well, from the street side, it's just a mirror. That is, it reflects what is outside. What is inside? Nothing is visible at all. The door is open. Everything is visible. Well, here only I see myself. There's absolutely nothing to see out here. So let's head inside now and take a look. It is simple in the stores. Everything is already visible here. So we finished covering the windows. As you can see, the result is already visible on our facade. Everything showed the difference. In principle, the task that was assigned to Alexander has been completed 100%. That is our main, as I will repeat once again, was that what is happening inside is not visible from the outside. And the secondary task is that the sun does not warm up the house. That is that we do not run air conditioners there throughout the summer. Here's the detailed question for Alexander. Alexander, can you share the key points to focus on, especially when selecting a contractor for the work? It is good that the contractor has social networks. It is good to be public. How are you? I know you have right. For example, how with us, it will simply make it much easier for you. Reviews, but the reviews are what they are now. They are being screwed up quite hard. Well, you can try it with the negative. Yes, yes. I will directly advise my subscribers not to look at these positive, positive reviews. Look at the negative ones, because a negative review is like a litmus paper. Everyone has them. I will immediately say that the bad ones have the good ones, the conscientious ones, the unconscientious ones. But a very important point is how these reviews overlap. There are inadequate people. Yes, they may write to you. They're simply because he's in a bad mood because there is a magnetic storm there. I don't know. I stepped on the nail and so on. He can write. Be sure to watch. He should have an answer under his bad review. There should be an adequate answer. And in general, if indeed any review was with photos with an order number, as I say, always this moment of photography is mandatory from your object. What was the joint and look under it as the master decided that is usually conscientious masters. They always have their own jams. They mess up. They mess up. I'll say everything right away, but conscientious and do not differ from conscientious precisely in how this jam is. This will cover it. Yes, 100 percent. Exactly. All right. Thank you so much, Sasha. Thank you very much. Yes, we were pleased to meet you. I hope this information will be useful to my subscribers today. I have it all for those who have not yet signed.
