  • Q10: Can I install RockRose window film by myself?

    A10: Yes, RockRose films are designed for easy DIY installation. You can install them on your own, but for larger windows—especially those over 30 inches wide—it’s helpful to have an extra set of hands to ensure precise alignment and bubble-free application.

 

  • Q11: How do I handle sticky adhesive window film during installation?

    A11: To make sticky adhesive window film easier to apply, generously spray a soapy water solution on both the glass surface and the adhesive side as you peel off the liner. This reduces immediate tackiness, prevents wrinkles, and gives you flexibility to reposition the film while minimizing air bubbles during installation.

 

  • Q12: Which liquid soap should I use for the water solution when installing window film?

    A12: You can use any mild liquid soap—dish soap, hand soap, or baby shampoo. For best results, baby shampoo is often recommended. Mix about 6 drops of soap into a 500ml (16.9 oz) spray bottle filled with water to create the ideal application solution.

 

  • Q13: Why did the film fall off the window the next day?

  • A13: Window films come with a backing liner that needs to be separated from the film before installation. If the backing liner is not removed, the film may initially stick to the window but eventually come off within a few hours or days.

 

  • Q14: How do I separate the backing liner from the window film?

    A14: To separate the liner easily, place two pieces of clear tape on opposite sides of one corner—one on the film and one on the backing liner. Press them firmly together, then pull the tape pieces apart to peel the liner away cleanly. As you remove the liner, spray a water solution on the adhesive side to prevent sticking or wrinkling. Avoid using sharp objects like a knife, which could damage the film.

 

  • Q15: Is RockRose window film applied on the inside or outside of the window?

    A15: RockRose window films are designed to be installed on the inside of the window for optimal performance and longevity—unless the product is specifically labeled as “Exterior Film.”

 

  • Q16: Why don’t I have privacy at night with window film?

    A16: Privacy window films rely on light contrast to block visibility. During the day, they reflect exterior light and reduce visibility into your space. At night, if your interior lights are brighter than outside, the privacy effect is reversed. For full 24-hour privacy, we recommend using opaque or frosted films.

 

  • Q17: Can I remove the window film later?

    A17: Yes, RockRose window films can be removed at any time. For adhesive films, use a fabric steamer or heat gun to soften the adhesive— a hairdryer also works but may take longer. Any leftover residue can be cleaned with soapy water and a razor blade. Static cling films are even easier and can be peeled off by hand without tools or mess.

 

  • Q18: What is RockRose’s return policy?

    A18: We offer a 30-day return policy from the date of purchase. If you're not satisfied with your order, you may return it within this period. Please note that buyers are responsible for return shipping costs.

Ceramic tint uses nano-ceramic particles that filter up to 99% UV rays and infrared radiation, offering superior heat rejection, glare reduction, and protective benefits for vehicle interiors and skin.

 

  • Q30: What is carbon window tint and how does it work?

    A30: Carbon window tint is made with carbon particles embedded in the film, which absorb infrared light to significantly reduce heat inside the vehicle. It provides good heat rejection, reduces glare, and offers a non-reflective finish for privacy without causing signal interference.

  • Q37:What is chameleon window tint?

    A 37: Chameleon window tint is a color-shifting window film that changes appearance based on light and viewing angle. It typically shifts between blue, purple, green, gold, or red tones while still providing UV and heat protection.

 

 

  • Q37:Is chameleon tint legal in the United States?

    A37: The legality of chameleon tint depends entirely on state law. There is no single answer for the entire U.S.

    The two main factors that make it illegal are:

    1. ❌ VLT (Visible Light Transmission) Limit: If the tint is too dark. Most states require a very high VLT ($70\%$ or more) on the windshield, which can be hard to meet, even with light chameleon films.

    2. ❌ Color and Reflection: Many states have laws that prohibit the specific color-shifting, metallic, or highly reflective appearance that chameleon tint creates, especially on the windshield.

    The safest option is a high VLT ($70\%$ or $80\%$) film, but you must always check the precise laws in your state to ensure you comply with VLT and reflectivity rules.


  • Q38:Does chameleon tint actually block heat?

    A 38: 

    Yes. Nano ceramic and IR (infrared) chameleon films can block:

    • Up to 99% UV rays

    • Up to 90% infrared heat

    • Significant glare reduction

    This helps keep your car cooler and protects interiors from fading.

 

  • Q39:What is the best window film for Houston heat?

    A 39: High-quality chameleon tint (with a high Visible Light Transmission, or VLT,  of $70\%$ or more) is specifically engineered to minimize any impact on  night visibility.
