FAQs

Is this window film difficult to apply?

The film uses static cling technology and water for application, making it relatively easy for DIY. The key is to use enough water and a good squeegee technique to remove all air and moisture. It's also repositionable, which helps if you make a mistake.

Will this film completely block the view from outside?

Yes, this film is designed to provide a high level of privacy, obscuring the view from the outside while still allowing light to enter. However, it is not a blackout film.

Can I apply this film to a double-glazed window?

Yes, it can be applied to the interior surface of double-glazed windows. Ensure you leave the small gap from the edge where the glass meets the seal.

How long does the UV protection last?

The UV protection is inherent to the film material and should last for the effective lifespan of the film, which is typically several years when properly cared for.

Can I remove the film if I move house?

Absolutely. The static cling application means it can be peeled off cleanly without leaving any adhesive residue, making it perfect for renters or those who like to redecorate.

What are the dimensions of this specific product?

This product is 67.5cm wide and 1.5 meters long.

Is this film safe for use on shower screens?

Yes, it is suitable for shower screens. Ensure the glass is clean and dry before application, and apply using the water method.

Troubleshooting

Bubbles or trapped air under the film

Gently lift the edge of the film and use a squeegee to push the air bubble out towards the edge. If a bubble is persistent, you may need to carefully puncture it with a fine pin and then squeegee the air out.

Film not sticking or peeling at the edges

Ensure the glass was thoroughly cleaned and wet before application. Re-wet the glass and the film, then reapply, ensuring the recommended small gap from the edge is maintained. Check that no dust or debris was trapped during application.

Difficulty cutting the film cleanly

Use a very sharp craft knife or razor blade and a metal ruler as a guide. Ensure the film is laid flat on a protected surface during cutting.

Film appears cloudy or streaky after drying

This is usually due to insufficient water during application or not squeegeeing out all the water. Allow it to dry completely; minor streaks may disappear. For significant issues, you may need to peel and reapply.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Easy, residue-free application and removal.
  • Provides excellent privacy and UV protection.
  • Reusable and repositionable during installation.
  • Environmentally friendly (PVC-free).
  • Maintains natural light levels.
  • Cost-effective alternative to frosted glass or blinds.

Cons

  • Requires careful application with water to avoid bubbles.
  • May require trimming to fit precisely.
  • A small gap around the edges is necessary for adhesion.
  • Not suitable for textured or dirty glass surfaces.
  • Long-term durability in extreme temperatures might vary.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Clean the Glass: Ensure the window or glass surface is thoroughly cleaned and dry. Remove any dust, grease, or old adhesive residue.
  2. Measure and Cut: Measure the glass surface and cut the film to size, allowing for a slight overlap if desired, or trim precisely.
  3. Apply Water: Generously spray the glass surface with a solution of water and a tiny drop of dish soap. This lubricates the surface for application.
  4. Apply Film: Carefully peel off the backing paper and position the film onto the wet glass. Start from the top and work your way down.
  5. Smooth Out Water: Use a squeegee or a flat, smooth edge (like a credit card wrapped in a soft cloth) to push out the water and air bubbles from the center towards the edges.
  6. Trim Edges: If necessary, trim any excess film around the edges with a sharp craft knife.
  7. Important Note: Leave a small gap (approx. 1-2mm) between the film and the edge of the glass, especially where seals are present, to allow for proper adhesion and prevent lifting.

Compatibility:

  • Suitable for most smooth, clean glass surfaces including windows, glass doors, mirrors, and shower screens.
  • Not recommended for textured, frosted, or otherwise treated glass.
  • Ensure compatibility with existing window seals; a small gap is crucial.

Care:

  • Clean the film using a soft, damp cloth and standard household cleaners.
  • Avoid abrasive cleaners or tools that could scratch the surface.
  • Periodically check the edges to ensure the small gap remains clear of debris.
