When you first install solar screen window film, it’s common to notice small bubbles, dust particles, or a hazy appearance. While this might seem concerning, these visual imperfections are a normal part of the film's curing process and will gradually disappear as the film fully adheres to the glass.
Why Does This Happen?
During installation, moisture or air can become trapped between the film and the window. These trapped elements cause bubbles or a cloudy appearance, which can be alarming at first. However, as the film cures— a process that can take anywhere from a few weeks to up to two months—these imperfections will dissipate. The moisture will evaporate, allowing the film to bond more completely to the glass.
How Long Does the Curing Process Take?
The time required for the film to fully cure depends on several factors, including the type of film, weather conditions, and the orientation of the windows. For example, windows exposed to more sunlight will typically cure faster. During this period, it's important to be patient, knowing that the film is still performing its solar control functions.
What Can You Expect During Curing?
Bubbles: Most bubbles will disappear as the film cures. These are usually water bubbles caused by the moisture in the adhesive.
Dust Particles: Some dust might be visible initially, but it should become less noticeable as the film settles.
Haze: A slight haze is also normal and will clear up over time.
