What is window tinting?
Window tinting is the phrase usually used to describe the process of applying window film to car windows or flat glass in homes and buildings.

Window tint or film is constructed of one or more layers of polyester film darked or dyed with a variety of components to achieve different results. It is coated with an adhesive and generally applied to the inner surface of windows to reduce heat, light and improve aesthetics. Thicker versions are used as a safety film to help prevent injuries and to slow intruders.

Having glass tinted can generally reduce the need for air conditioning and can pay for itself over time in residential and commercial applications. Many modern window films are able to achieve a great amount of heat reduction without as much visible light reduction compared to the window films of the past.

Many commonly used tools and techniques in use today are direct results of this site. Become a member and join us on the forum. It has grown to include members from all over the world, from consumers with questions, to new tinters, seasoned veterans, industry representatives and innovators.

  Flex film??
  
  My name is Ralph and I am the owner of Flexfilm. Michael Jordan was one of the greatest basketball players to ever play the sport. He once said he had to miss over 9000 shots to be the best. Thomas Edison said he failed over 1000 times before he got the light bulb right. I brought in carbon and ceramic film from East Asia well over a decade ago when nobody even knew what it was and before it was even ready for the USA market. I had many failures from this product before I got it right. Flexfilm sells over 1 million dollars of carbon/ceramic each month. If you want to see why we sell so much, come give it a try. If you want to know why we had so many failures along the way... we do not sell that film anymore. Thanks for all the comments and opinions.
