Questions and Answers for Gila 36 in. x 180 in. 3-in-1 Heat Control Window Film

A:  Hello Tony and thank you for your inquiry. We do not recommend installation of film on non-rectangular windows. Most non-rectangular windows (curved edges or shapes of special design) are custom cut and scored, causing the likelihood of weak spots and fractures in the film.

A:  Thank you for your inquiry. We do not recommend installing installing Gila films with adhesives to acrylic windows. We suggest trying our adhesive-free vinyl Glare Control Smoke or Privacy Control Black to acrylic. While these films are not in our Heat Control category, they do offer heat control. The Glare Control Smoke has a total solar energy rejection (TSER) of up to 46%, while the Privacy Control Black has a TSER up to 58%.

A:  I haven't noticed any affect at all.

A:  Thank you for your inquiry. This is a film that contains metal and may affect the WiFi from passing through the glass with film. If you are in a home or apartment with WiFi, metalized film on the windows would have no affect on the WiFi inside your home.

A:  180 inches is 4,572 millimetres or 0.00246868 nautical miles. If you're looking for a more terrestrial unit of measurement then 180 inches also equals 0.00284091 miles or 0.25 hands. If you're going more Biblical, then 180 inches equals 10.1599 cubits

A:  Thank you for your inquiry. The length of this Gila 3-in-1 Heat Control product is 180 inches, or 15 feet.

A:  It is equal to 15 ft or 4.572 meters.

A:  Whichever side of the window has lights/sun you will be able to see thru from the other side. So when there is sun on the window, you can see the outside view and when the room is lit up at night you can see in from the yard.

A:  Yes, They do a great job of tinting the windows, but I can still see in and out.

A:  Yes you can without much problem. During daylight though the film reflects and you cannot see inside from outside.

A:  Yes, you will be able to see inside from the outside if interior lights are on. This will be the case for all GIla Heat Control Window Films.

A:  I installed the 3 in 1 film and the Titanium film. The Titanium looks like a mirror from the outside. At night you can't see outside because of the reflection. The 3 in 1 provides a very good heat control. From the outside you don't see inside. But at night you can see some outside if there is a light source. Both tyoes of film have great visibility outside during daytime.

A:  For the purpose of blocking UV and keeping the windows as light as possible, we would recommend our Gila Heat Control Light (Item LEG361) as it blocks up to 99% UV rays has a Visible Light Transmission (VLT) of 42%. This particular product you are looking at (Gila 3-in-1) blocks up to 99% UV rays, but will be darker on your glass as it has a VLT of 25%.

A:  This would be your personal preference as far as the appearance of the front of your home. The addition of the 3-in-1 Heat Control Window Film will change the appearance of the windows as it will darken the glass and add some exterior reflectivity.

A:  Yes, I would definitely do all front windows to be unified. I think that would look best and you will be glad you did. It will cut down on the glare/heat from the sun and add privacy too. I'm very happy with this window tint, highly recommend.

A:  The liner is clear so it can be difficult to find. Remove the liner by attaching two 3" long pieces of transparent tape to the front and back surfaces of a corner of the film so that about 1" of tape is on the film, and the rest is centered and hanging over the pointed corner of the film. Firmly press the two pieces of tape together and quickly pull them apart to separate the clear liner away from the (dry) adhesive side of the film.

A:  I used a piece of scotch tape on either side of the film at one corner as the directions that came with the product recommend. When you pull the pieces of tape away from each other the film and backing (liner) should separate and come apart. You don't want to do this though until you are ready to apply the film to the window. The product should have come with a set of instructions on how to go about applying the film. If it did not, you can contact the manufacturer for help.

A:  One way to find the film is to take two pieces of scotch tape, one on the back, and one on the front, then pull them apart. Works best on a corner.

A:  The Gila 3-in-1 Heat Control Window film has a visible light transmission (VLT) of approximately 25%. On this scale (0-100%) the lower the number, the darker the film will be. The main benefit of this product compared to our other Gila Heat Control products is that it has lower reflectivity. If you are looking for our lightest VLT in our Heat Control products, our Gila Heat Control Light (Model# LEG361) has a VLT of approximately 42%, but will have slightly higher reflectivity than the 3-in-1 product.

A:  It’s a grayest bronze color. Not dark but not clear. It cuts the glare down and it’s only slightly evident that the glass is tinted. During the day from the outside you barely can see though the glass. At night you can see through it but definitely darker than clear glass.

A:  It peels off easy start at the corners, and peel back slowly. It came off in one large sheet
