Wet Glazing

At Tint National, our highly skilled professionals follow a  process to ensure the proper installation of Impact Protection Adhesive (IPA) for enhanced security and durability. Here's how we get it done:

  1. Precision Surface Preparation

    • We start by applying a 1" strip of 3M™ Scotch™ Safe Release™ White Masking Tape to the film surface, positioned 3/8" from the edge of the film.

    • Simultaneously, a 1" strip of 3M Safe Release Blue Masking Tape is applied to the window frame, 3/8" from the gasket edge. This careful preparation creates a consistent channel for the sealant, ensuring a clean and uniform application.

  2. Expert Sealant Application

    • Our team uses a triangular bead of IPA Impact Protection Adhesive, applying it with precision to achieve proper penetration and avoid air gaps.

    • Starting from a corner, the bead is pushed out about 6 inches, ensuring a seamless flow before turning the application gun toward the next corner.

  3. Flawless Finishing

    • To achieve a professional appearance, we smooth the sealant bead using the appropriate tools. Tooling is done in a continuous stroke immediately after application, leaving no room for imperfections.

  4. Adherence to Industry Standards

    • We strictly follow all 3M product guidelines and installation instructions, ensuring a safe and durable installation.

At Tint National, our attention to detail and commitment to excellence ensure that every project is completed to the highest standards, delivering the ultimate in safety and performance for your windows.
