FAQs
Is this window film removable?
Yes, the film can typically be removed. Gently heat the film with a hairdryer on a low setting to soften the adhesive, then carefully peel it away from the glass.
Can I apply this film to glass shower doors?
While the film is water-resistant, it is primarily designed for dry applications on windows. Continuous exposure to moisture and direct water spray might affect its adhesion over time. Ensure the surface is smooth and clean before application.
What does 'frosted grey' mean in terms of appearance?
Frosted grey refers to a semi-opaque finish that diffuses light and obscures the view, giving a soft, cloudy appearance with a grey hue. It's not a solid color but rather a translucent effect.
How much light does this film block?
The film filters strong light and reduces glare, creating a comfortable environment. It allows soft light transmission but will reduce the overall brightness compared to clear glass. The exact amount of light reduction depends on the intensity of the external light.
What is the thickness of the window film?
The window film has a thickness of 0.08 mm.
Does the product come with any application tools?
Yes, the delivery contains 5 x Window film and 5 x Plastic scraper to assist with application.
Can I reuse the window film after removing it?
Once removed, the adhesive may be compromised, making it difficult to reapply effectively without losing adhesion or collecting dust and debris. It is generally recommended to use a new piece of film if reapplication is needed.
Troubleshooting
Film not adhering properly or peeling at edges.
Ensure the glass surface was thoroughly cleaned and is completely smooth. Re-wet the surface and the adhesive side of the film before reapplying. Ensure the backing film was fully removed.
Visible air bubbles or water pockets after application.
Use the plastic scraper to carefully push the bubbles and water towards the edges of the film. For stubborn bubbles, you may need to gently lift a corner of the film, re-wet the area, and reapply, smoothing out the air.
Difficulty cutting the film cleanly.
Use a sharp utility knife or precision scissors. A metal ruler can serve as a guide for straight cuts. Ensure the film is laid flat on a cutting mat or protected surface.
Privacy is not as expected.
Verify that the correct side of the film (the adhesive side) is facing the glass. Ensure the film is applied smoothly without gaps. The frosted effect offers privacy from a distance but may allow some visibility up close in bright light.
