Q. Can a contractor buy directly from Filmtech? A. No, please call Filmtech at 877-345-6832 for a dealer closest to you for a demo and samples.
Q. Can you use the floor film on carpet? A. No, the adhesive for the floor protection film is made specifically for hard surfaces and does not have the proper adhesive to adhere nicely to carpet.
Q. Can you use carpet film for the hard surfaces? A. No, the carpet film adhesive is too aggressive for hard surfaces and we recommend the use of our hard surface film only for that application.
Q. If the carpet is glued down, how long should I wait until I apply the film to the surface? A. We recommend 72 hours, as specified by the glue manufacturers who state that it takes at least 72 hours for the glue to cure. A warmer environment or humidity can extend the length of cure time for the glue. We recommend that you test the moisture level of the glue before applying the film.
Q. Is the use of an applicator necessary? A. For the larger sized rolls, such as the 36-inch or wider, we recommend that you use an applicator. The applicator allows one to apply the film more quickly, therefore decreasing labor time. The use of the applicator also allows one to apply the film more smoothly for better adhesion. We also recommend it for the 24' width but it is not necessary.
Q. Does the window film need tape to the hold the film in place? A. On indoor applications, tape is not necessary. For outdoor applications we do recommend using tape due to wind, weather and other environmental factors.
Q. Does the Double Pack Zipper come with poly? A. No, we do not include regular poly with our Double Pack Zipper.
Q. Is the film reusable? A. No, it is for one time use only. After the allotted time, replace the film with another application of film if necessary to keep the area protected for a longer period of time.
Q.What is the difference between the Value Film, Profilm and Premium Film? A. The value film is for lighter foot traffic. The Profilm and Premium film are for heavier traffic, yet the ProFilm is for 30-day use and the Premium Film is for 45-day use.
Q. What is the difference between blue window film and clear window film? A. The blue window film is for UV protection and is more frequently used in areas where sunlight is more consistent.
