Pre-Cut vs. DIY Window Tint: Get the Perfect Fit for Your Car, Home or Office Upgrade

by Marketing Team 12 Jun 2024 0 Comments

Are you looking to upgrade your car, home or office with window film? 

Dr. Solar offers two convenient options to meet your needs: pre-cut film and DIY film. 

But what's the difference between these two choices? Let's break it down:

 

Pre-Cut Film: The Easy, Custom Fit

Pre-cut film is the hassle-free way to get window film that fits your car perfectly. Here's how it works:

  1. Enter Your Vehicle Details: On the Dr. Solar website, simply enter your car's make, model, and year.
  2. We Do the Cutting: Using a computer-controlled plotter, we precisely cut high-quality window film to the exact dimensions of your car's windows.
  3. Ready to Install: You'll receive pre-cut film pieces for each window, eliminating the need for measuring or cutting yourself. Just follow the included instructions for a smooth application.

 

Pre-cut film is ideal for:

  • Customers who want a perfect, custom fit for their car
  • People who aren't comfortable measuring or cutting film themselves
  • Those who value a quick and easy installation process

 

DIY Film: Take Control of Your Project

DIY film gives you the flexibility to tackle your window tinting project yourself. Here's what to expect:

  1. Select Your Film Size: Choose from various roll widths and lengths to match the size of your windows.
  2. Measure and Cut: Carefully measure your windows and use a sharp tool (like a razor blade) to cut the film to size.

 

DIY film is a good option for:

  • Customers who are comfortable with DIY projects
  • People who want to tint multiple vehicles or odd-shaped windows
  • Those on a tighter budget (DIY film is usually cheaper per square foot than pre-cut film)

 

Why DIY film is ideal for home or office window tinting:

  • Flat windows, unlike car windows with curves, are easier to measure and cut accurately, reducing wasted film.
  • Standard window sizes at home or in the office make it simpler to find a pre-cut film size that closely matches your needs, minimizing the need for customizing film rolls.

 

Remember: While DIY film offers cost savings, it requires more effort and precision. Mistakes during cutting can waste film and require additional purchases.
