FAQs

How do I clean the window film?

You can clean the film using a soft, damp cloth and a mild household cleaner. Avoid abrasive materials or strong chemicals that could damage the surface.

Can I reuse this window film?

Yes, the static cling film is designed to be removable and reusable. Simply peel it off carefully, clean the glass and the film, and reapply.

What is the main benefit of static cling film over adhesive film?

The main benefit is that static cling film adheres without glue, meaning it leaves no sticky residue when removed, making it ideal for renters or temporary solutions.

Does this film block all light?

No, the film provides privacy and décor effects while still allowing natural light to pass through. It does not significantly darken the room.

How much UV protection does it offer?

The film offers 95% UV protection, which helps to prevent fading of your soft furnishings and reduces glare.

What happens if I make a mistake during application?

If you make a mistake, you can peel the film back carefully and reposition it. The water application allows for adjustments.

Is the film suitable for outdoor use?

This film is designed for indoor glass surfaces. Prolonged exposure to outdoor elements may affect its adhesion and appearance.

Troubleshooting

Film won't stick to the glass.

Ensure the glass surface is thoroughly cleaned and wet. Re-wet the glass generously and reapply the film.

Air bubbles or water trapped under the film.

Use a squeegee or smooth plastic card to push out air and water towards the edges. If stubborn, carefully peel back a section and re-smooth.

Film is lifting at the edges.

Check if the film is too close to the window seal. Trim the film slightly to create a 2mm gap from the seal and re-smooth the edge.

Difficulty removing the backing paper.

Use a piece of adhesive tape on a corner of the backing paper to help lift it away from the film.

Visible imperfections after drying.

Minor imperfections may disappear as the water fully dries. For significant issues, carefully peel back and reapply, ensuring thorough wetting of the glass.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Clean Surface: Ensure the glass is thoroughly clean, smooth, and free from dust or grease.
  2. Measure & Cut: Measure the glass and use the cutting grid on the reverse of the film for precise trimming. Allow for a small margin.
  3. Prepare Film: Remove the clear backing paper carefully.
  4. Wet Glass: Generously spray the glass surface with water. Ensure even coverage.
  5. Apply Film: Apply the film, static side down, onto the wet glass. Position it accurately.
  6. Smooth Out: Use a smoother or squeegee to gently push out excess water and air bubbles from the center towards the edges.
  7. Trim Edges: Trim any excess film around the edges.

Important Application Note: Ensure a 2mm gap is left between the edge of the film and any window seal or frame to prevent the vinyl from lifting.

  • Suitable for windows, glass doors, shower screens, and tabletops.

Care:
