steam curtain

The Steam Curtain "aka" the Tinting Doctor, is used to help in the removal of existing window film from the rear window on most sedans, coupes, hatchbacks, and SUVs.

While this product works well, it is not guaranteed to work perfectly on all old film, even though it does help loosen the glue in the worst cases.

Overview

Designed specifically for professional window tinting applications, the Steam Curtain is primarily used for the safe and efficient removal of old window film, particularly from curved glass surfaces like car rear windows.

How It Works

It utilizes pressurized steam to soften and unbind the adhesive (glue) from the glass. The objective is to allow the film to be peeled off in one piece, not guaranteed to come off in one piece, but that is the objective. This should significantly reduce the labor-intensive scraping and cleaning typically required.

Operating Method

  1. Attach the device to the window's interior
  2. Run a pre-heated 6–12 minute steam cycle
  3. Heat weakens the adhesive bond and softens the polyester
  4. Remove the tint with minimal residue left behind

Our blade lineup includes the 93-durometer Sledgehammer, the 90-durometer De-Hydra, the 85-durometer Riddler, and additional options such as the Cyclone, Judge, and dual-density Agent Orange. From aggressive extraction blades to more flexible finishing options, each blade offers a different balance of firmness, glide, conformability, and water removal.

These professional squeegee blades are built for automotive window tint installation as well as residential and commercial window film applications. Select models are available in multiple sizes, including standard hand-squeegee lengths and longer blades for larger glass surfaces.

Choosing the correct window tint blade can improve installation speed, reduce remaining moisture, and give installers better control around curves, edges, and tight areas. Firmer blades are commonly selected for maximum extraction, while softer or more flexible blades can provide improved conformity and finishing control.
