Tint bubbles, often seen in window tinting film, may or may not go away depending on the cause and severity.
Here are some factors to consider…
- Installation quality – If the bubbles are small and relatively few, they may disappear over time as the tint fully adheres to the window. However, if the bubbles are large or numerous, they might indicate poor installation, and you may need to have the tint professionally reinstalled.
- Curing time – Sometimes, tint bubbles will disappear on their own as the tint adhesive cures and settles. This process typically takes a few days to a couple of weeks, depending on the type of tint and environmental conditions.
- Moisture or dirt trapped under the tint – If the bubbles are caused by moisture or dirt trapped under the tint during installation, they may not go away on their own. In such cases, you might need to have the tint removed and replaced.
- Quality of tint film – Higher quality tint films are less likely to develop bubbles or other imperfections. If you used a low-quality tint film, it may be more prone to bubbling, and those bubbles may not disappear entirely.
- Environmental factors – Extreme temperatures or exposure to direct sunlight can affect the adhesive properties of the tint film. In some cases, bubbles may appear or worsen due to these factors.
If you’ve recently had tint installed and are seeing bubbles, it’s best to consult with the professional who installed it to determine the cause and whether any action needs to be taken.
