Can Car Window Tinting Be Done in Winter?
1 Answers
Winter is also a suitable time for car window tinting, but there are several precautions to note. After tinting in winter, you may not be able to roll the windows up or down for 10 days to half a month, as the moisture inside the film evaporates more slowly. Additionally, avoid wiping the tint with a towel and refrain from using the rear windshield defroster. If the front windshield is also tinted, be cautious when using the defroster by keeping the airflow low to prevent damage. Should any issues arise, promptly return to the tinting service for resolution. Below are key considerations for car window tinting in winter: 1. Avoid excessively dark tint films. Dark films with low light transmittance can delay a driver's reaction time in emergencies, increasing the risk of accidents. High-quality films with high light transmittance enhance driving safety. 2. Opt for films with high heat insulation rates to better control the interior temperature, maintain warmth, and reduce fuel consumption. 3. Steer clear of unknown or substandard tint films. Some inferior films may have uneven thickness, leading to uneven shrinkage when temperatures rise in spring, causing premature cracking and rendering the film unusable. 4. Ensure the tinting is done in a dust-free indoor environment to prevent dust particles from becoming trapped between the glass and film. In extremely cold weather, allow the car to sit in the tinting workshop for a while to let the glass temperature adjust to room temperature. When heating the film, carefully monitor the duration to avoid cracking the front or rear windshields.
