The main difference between normal window tint and static cling window tint is that one contains glue to apply onto the window and the other uses static electricity and atmospheric pressure.
The other difference will usually be the construction or materials used in the creation of the tint.
Static cling window tint will usually be made with PVC while there are a variety of materials that normal adhesive window tint is made with.
There are some differences in the application when it comes to standard window tint depending on the glue used to make the tint (if it is 2 ply) tints made with a stiffer glue will be easier to apply as it does not have a tendency to wrinkle and crease like films made with the softer glue.
Static cling film, due to the way it is made, has certain limitations in the level of infrared heat it can block due to certain material applications as well as on what windows it can be applied to.
Most important to static cling window tint is its ability to be removed and added due to weather allowing a level of modularity with regards to that tint.
Static cling window tint is also easier to install in that the lack of glue allows you to correct mistakes and re-install the tint should it be needed.
Finally, to summarize, static cling has convenience and ease of installation, and standard tint tends to have higher quality components and a wider array of applications.
Bubbles
Our G-cling windows film does not have glue, therefore no bubbles will occur even years after installation. There are a few reasons bubbles form under traditional tints. The first most important reason is the low quality of the adhesive. The second is improper installation. The third is the low quality of the installation solution. Low-end tints will normally form bubbles within a few years after installation.
Heat Gun
Our films are static cling. They do not require a heat gun for installation. All that is required is our
installation solution. Traditional films require a heat gun for installation.
