This is a critical risk for architectural (home/office) windows and certain automotive glass. Window film absorbs heat. If a film absorbs too much heat, the glass expands. If the edges of the glass (within the frame) remain cool while the center expands rapidly, the thermal stress can cause the glass to spontaneously fracture or shatter. Double tinting doubles the heat absorption, drastically increasing the likelihood of stress cracks. Window tint laws vary by jurisdiction but are

If the adhesive of the second layer is stronger than the first, it can cause the base layer to ripple, bubble, or peel. It is important to distinguish between applying film
