Window Film FAQ

Q:  What does decorative window film do?

A:  Decorative window film helps increase privacy, soften incoming light and add visual style to glass. Privacy level varies by design, transparency and lighting conditions.

Q:  What type of glass works best with window film?

A:For best results, apply the film to clean, smooth and flat glass. Textured, patterned or uneven glass may prevent proper contact and can cause bubbles or lifting.

Q:  How do I install window film?

A:  Clean the glass thoroughly, cut the film to size and remove the protective backing if applicable. Spray the glass with water mixed with a small amount of dish soap, position the film and use a squeegee to push water and air toward the edges.

Q:  Why is water used during installation?

A:  Water allows the film to slide into position before final placement and makes it easier to remove trapped air and excess water. This is especially helpful when installing larger pieces.

Q:  Does privacy window film block all visibility and light?

A:  Not necessarily. Privacy and light transmission depend on the pattern, opacity, color and lighting conditions. Some films blur the view while still allowing plenty of natural light into the room.

Q:  How do I clean or remove window film?

A:  Clean the surface with a soft cloth or sponge and a mild, non-abrasive cleaner. Removal method depends on the specific film type, so check whether the product is static-cling or adhesive-backed before removal.
