Issues with Cheap Window Film

- Cheap window doesn’t look very good. The tints tend to be too dark or metallic looking. So by opting for a cheaper window film you will end up both blocking out the views of your lovely Austin neighborhood and sacrificing style.
- Cheap window films typically don’t have very good warranties–if at all. When you chose a more premium window film you get better protection against malfunction and break down. If you use a brand certified window film installer will likely have a work guarantee too.
- .Cheap window films will bubble and peel quickly when exposed to intense sun. More expensive films, applied by a true professional–should never have this issue. If it does it will be covered by stellar warranties.
- Cheap window film doesn’t really come in many stylish colors, finishes, and transmissivity. This limits your home or commercial style to ugly or cookie-cutter looking films.
