Here are the 4 easy steps to installing window film to the windows in your home.
- Prepare – In order to get good contact between the window and the film, your windows must be clean. Thoroughly clean each window and make sure there’s no residue left so that the film will cling. Cut each piece of film so that it is about ½ inch larger than the window.
- Apply – Using a spray bottle, wet down the window. Remove the backing from the film and carefully apply it to the window. Using a rolling motion from top to bottom can help to minimize any bubbles.
- Flatten – Using a squeegee, start at the center of the film and work out toward the edges. You want to remove excess water and any bubbles that were trapped under the film.
- Trim – Now that the film is properly applied, carefully trim off the excess film with a new and sharp utility knife. Using a new blade will help to ensure that the cuts are clean and precise.
Once you have applied your new window film, you will be impressed with how much it cuts down on excess heat in your room and how much it increases the privacy of your room.
