5.  IMPORTANT INFORMATION REGARDING WINDOW FILM APPLICATIONS

There is a minimal risk of thermal fracture of glass with all internal applications of solar control window film. A thermal stress analysis (glass checklist) can be performed to ensure compatibility. This assumes that glazing complies with BS6262 and is free of existing edge faults.

If Solar Tint Wales advises against installing window film and the client chooses to proceed, no claims can be made for any resultant glass breakage or damage.

Glass strength depends on quality and edge condition. As these factors are beyond our control, we cannot provide a warranty against breakage or damage of glazing.

Clients must ensure the area is clean and dust-free prior to installation and protect/remove furniture, furnishings, or documents. Solar Tint Wales will not be liable for any damage where we are not at fault or where the damage is unforeseeable or not due to our negligence.

Should we attend a site that is not suitably clean, the aborted site visit charge of £450.00 + VAT will apply.

There is a risk of glass breakage due to pressure during installation or the condition of older frames.

Removing existing film may result in glass damage. Solar Tint Wales is not liable for such damage where we are not at fault or where it is unforeseeable.

Window film typically cures within 30 days under normal conditions, but this can vary.

 

We are not liable for drying bubbles that appear before full curing. Warranty liability will not exceed the cost of replacement film and re-application.

Flat surface installations will not have the same visual quality as glass.

Visual inspection should be made from 2 metres in natural daylight (not direct sunlight) at right angles from the room side.

The installation is acceptable if the following are unobtrusive: dirt particles, haze, fibres, scratches, adhesive gels, distortion, fingerprints, creases, insects, bubbles, edge lift, nicks, or tears.

Edge gaps are usually 1–4mm. Splicing is necessary for large glass panels.

 

6.  INSTALLATIONS

 

Where possible, installations will be completed by our own fully trained installers. In some cases, we may use fully authorised sub-contractors.

 

7.  ONE-WAY PRIVACY FILMS

One-way privacy films depend on light balance and are effective when external light is stronger than internal light.

They do not provide privacy at night when lights are on indoors.

By accepting our quotation, you confirm you understand how these films function. No claims will be accepted for privacy concerns after installation.

 

8.  GLASS SUPPLIED FOR WINDOW FILM INSTALLATION

Solar Tint Wales will not be held liable for glass breakage or damage post-installation, especially where units are later combined incompatibly.

Clients must ensure supplied glass is suitable for film application.

 

Handling, transportation, and safety of glass post-installation are the client’s responsibility. We are not liable for breakages once the glass has left our premises.

If untrained staff are present during collection, clients must ensure adequate assistance is provided for safe handling.

 

9.  MANIFESTATIONS & GRAPHICS

Clients must ensure artwork and specifications are correct before production.

Solar Tint Wales will provide proofs for approval. Once approved, clients accept full responsibility for errors.

Post-approval changes may incur additional charges.

Production times start from proof approval. We will not be liable for delays caused by events beyond our control.

  • Partial glazing

 

  • Close blinds or curtains

 

  • Nearby heating/cooling vents
