If you are unsure of what design to choose for your project, we recommend that you order a sample first.

1. Measure the height and width of the window
2. Read the product description carefully so that you know which way the design goes
3. Most of our window film rolls are 1.5m long and 45cm, 67.5cm or 90cm wide.
4. If one roll isn't enough to cover the entire window, the film can in most cases be butt joined with a second roll. Please note that for most of our film the entire window doesn't need to be covered. It can also be nice to build up panels leaving a small gap between.

For a successful installation you will need:

• window cleaner
• cloth
• tape measure
• application kit (craft knife & squeegee)
• metal edge ruler
• craft mat
• pen

To achieve the best result we recommend that the window film is applied with our application kit. The applicator has a velvet edge which gives a smooth application that won't damage the surface.

Save time and order from our carefully selected tools.

The window film is very easy to apply, just:

1. clean your windows
2. measure the windows and cut the film to the desired dimensions, leaving 2m gap around all edges
3. spray your windows with water and a few drops of wash up liquid
4. remove the backing paper (Yes there is one!)
5. place the the film on the glass surface (2mm minimum from the edge) and glide it into position
6. start from the centre and squeeze out all water with a squeegee
7. wipe dry with a towel.

How to care for you window film

• Clean with soapy water or normal window cleaner and a damp cloth.
• Avoid using cleaning products containing chlorine that can bleach or discolour the film.

Troubleshooting guide

These are the most common reasons why the window film doesn't stay up:

1. The backing paper isn't removed. There is one even if it doesn't look like one. It's clear in colour.
2. The film is touching the edges somewhere. If it does, air will appear underneath and it will lose its cling. It's safest to leave a minimum of a 2-5mm gap so it doesn't touch the window seal.
3. The window film is applied to a textured glass. If it is, air will come underneath and it will lose its cling. Instead use a self-adhesive film for those surfaces.
4. The glass has already got some kind of film on it (e.g. UV protection / tint etc).
5. Not enough water has been sprayed on the glass surface during application. The more the better to achieve a better cling. Then make sure you squeeze out as much water as possible and let the sun burn off the rest. (Maybe keep the window closed for a day or so until the sun has done its part)
6. The wrong side of the window film is facing the window. Make sure it's the cling side. It's nice and smooth.
7. The windows are not properly cleaned before application. Make sure they are cleaned from grease and dust. This goes for the film too if it's being reapplied or has been applied to a not fully clean window.
