Yes, you can have a single window tinted, however there is usually a minimum charge. So while you can have only one window tinted, you may find that you can have two or three windows treated without additional cost.
Many factors affect the time taken to tint windows. The first is size of the windows and the total area involved. Obviously, the larger the area, the longer the time needed. If the panes are small, it will also take longer.
The second factor is the time of year. At peak periods, such as summer, it may take longer to schedule your work because of a backlog of jobs in the system. However, the delay is usually quite short.
External installations are weather dependant, so they too, may be delayed until suitable weather is forecast.
Like all products that use adhesive, the adhesive must cure to achieve a proper bond to the glass. Once the adhesive has cured, your windows will look very much as thought they have been factory-tinted. You may see some changes in the appearance of the film while it is curing.
Change are normal at this time.
Although the film appears perfect at first, you may see it become hazy and milky, or develop an “orange peel affect” or even large bubbles. This is quite normal, and should not cause alarm. After curing, these apparent imperfections will disappear.
Curing takes from 3 to 30 days, depending on the weather, humidity and the amount of sunlight falling on the glass. As you would expect, curing tends to be faster in summer and slower in winter.
Above all, do not touch the film until curing is complete.
