Unique Cool Window Film

What is window film?

Window Film is a transparent plastic film which is applied to automotive or flatglass windows for one or more of fours purposes: privacy, heat or light rejection, security or graphic design.

How does film reduce fading?

To understand the causes of fading, one must kow a little about the makeup or sunlight.

Sunlight is basically made of 3 elements:

• Visible light- the part that we 'see'
• Infra Red - the part which we 'feel' as heat
• Ultraviolet light - which we neither see nor feel but is the main factor in causing fabrics or furnishings to fade. Ultraviolet absorbers are used to stop UV at the film. The type, amount, and location of the absorbers in the product determine the film's ability to reduce fading. Absorbers that are located in the adhesive only (blocking 95%-98%) instead of the film itself (blocking over 99%) are far less stable and enduring. All of our solar controlproducts absorb more than 99% of the UV rays.
• Miscellaneous interior artificial lighting, dye anchorage, and humidity

Facts about Fading "As a Rule of Thumb"

Laboratory studies of a large variety of fabrics and woods show significant differences in the color stability of these products. Fabric fading results differ depending on the fiber type, dye, color, stability, and/or pattern techniques. Expensive fabrics are not necessarily guaranteed to have fade protection.

Natural wood finishes are much more stable than stains or finishes that alter the natural color of the wood. Wood may actually darken with prolonged exposure to UV rather than fade to a lighter color. The nature of certain delicate fabrics and dyes will lead to premature fading regardless of the application of any window film or protective treatment.

Why do i need Unique Window Film?

Automotive glasss (except windshields) and ordinary architectural glass found in homes and offices only protect occupants from UVB rays. It has been found that UVA rays have detrimental effects on humans such as premature aging of the skin, cancers ofthe skin and eye disease such as cataracts and age related and macular degeneration. Unique provides 99.9% UVA and UVB protection.

Why would someone need Unique instead of conventional glass tinting?

Many individuals do not like a 'tinted appearance'. They are afraid they will not be able to look out and prefer a clear appearance on their vehicle. Unique at 70% visible light transmission (front windscreen) & 50% visible light transmission (side and rear windscreen) on glass provides a virtually clear appearance in cars.

Does Unique provide the same degree of solar protection as darker tinting films?

No, because Unique has such high light transmission it does not provide the heat and glare reduction of darker (20%,35%,etc.) of glass tinting. However, many of the darker tinting films are only colored films and does not offer any sort of heat rejection.

Will Unique prevent my vehicle interior from fading?

No film product prevents fading entirely. Fading is a chemical reaction to a combination of heat, light and ultraviolet. While Unique will reduce fading and interior damage, no product eliminates fading.

What is the warranty of the film?

We provide a manufacturer's 10 years warranty to the original owner of the vehicle against cracking, peeling and bubbling. The ultraviolet absorbing properties of the film may vchange very slightly obver the lifetime of the film depending on atmospheric conditions. Individuals with medical conditions and UV sensitivity should have their film checked after 7 years by an authorized Unique dealer to ascertain any change, which they feel may be detrimental. The warranty does not cover replacement for UV absorbency changes.

What kind of warranty comes with the film?

We provide a manufacturer's 10 years warranty to replace any defective product for free. If there is a problem, just bring your car and warranty card with an explanation of the manufacturing defect to any Unique dealer from cost to cost and it will be replaced at no charge to you. However, the replacement policy applies to manufacturing defects for which we are responsible.

How should i clean my window after the film is applied?

Windows with film are easily cleaned without damage to their appearance as long as few common-sense guidelines are followed:

1. Use a soft clean cloth, soft paper towel or clean synthetic sponge.

2. Use a soft cloth or squeegee for drying the window

3. Use any normal glass cleaning solution which contains no abrasive materials

Why does Unique cost more than some of the traditional films?

Because it is difficult to make a high light transmission product with such a high level of UV absorbers and still maintain good optical clarity.
