Installation that elevates
Create the "Perfect Look"
Proper installation is key to achieving a flawless, professional finish that enhances both comfort and aesthetics. By following each step carefully, you'll avoid bubbles, creases, and misalignment. Our guide ensures your film performs at its best—offering maximum UV protection, heat control, and privacy. Take your time, follow the steps, and enjoy a beautifully transformed space.
Key point
Window cleaning is a crucial starting step. It's not just about the glass—be sure to clean the frames and those narrow gaps between the glass and the frame where dust and grime often accumulate. If left uncleaned, these residues can turn an easy, smooth installation into a frustrating and less-than-perfect result.
Practice Makes Perfect
Like with any skill, hands-on practice makes all the difference. We recommend trying with a small piece of film first—this will help you get familiar with the handling and technique before moving on to larger surfaces.
Cleaning
Make you own installation solution by mixing 8 drops of liquid soap into 20 oz of water. Spray the solution generously on the glass and use a scaper to lift off any residue.
Thorough cleaning
Make sure to wipe down the window frame and seals as well, since dust and dirt in those areas can interfere with adhesion. A low lint clothe is best to avoid leaving fibers behind.
Measuring
Measure the window and add 1.5inches to both, the width and the height
Cutting
Lay the film out on a flat surface, take the measurements and cut it, leaving an extra 1.5 inches on both sides. Use the special cutter provided.
Separating
Now, separate the two layers of the film. To do this, apply two pieces of adhesive tape on one corner of the sheet, one on each side, perpendicularly. Then, press firmly, then gently pull the tapes apart. As you peel off the liner, spray the adhesive side to add weight and prevent sticking or folding.
Completely wet
Spray generously again; this will make it easier to position the film during installation. One of the most important tips is that the wetter both the glass and the film are, the easier it will be to position and work with them.
Application
Place the film on the window, adhesive side against the glass, and align it at the top. Try not to touch the adhesive side, as fingerprints will be difficult to remove
Squeegeeing
Spray the soapy solution over the surface of the film before using the squeegee. Press firmly with the squeegee to remove water and bubbles, from top to bottom and from the center outwards for best results
Trimming
Cut the excess film along the edges of the frame. Use the squeegee as a guide and carefully trim it with the provided cutter.
Final steps
Press the film again firmly to remove any remaining air bubbles. Dry the edges with a clean cloth and check for any bubbles or wrinkles
Final recommendations
Allow the film to dry completely for 48 hours before handling or operating the window. Avoid moving or adjusting the film during the drying process. Full curing may take up to 15 days; during this time, small water bubbles may appear but they will disappear on their own.
Post installation care
Never clean the film with glass cleaners that contain ammonia, as they may damage it. Instead, use a solution of water and liquid dish soap or a gentle degreaser.
