Installing your printed frosted window film (AR02)

Your bespoke printed frosted window film (AR02) will arrive in a sturdy box (pre-assembled with the transfertape/application-tape) with a squeegee (free of charge). Ready for you to install directly to your windows. No water is required during the installation of the bubble free printed frosted window film, due to the air-channels in the self-adhesive.

Some quick tips regarding the installation of your printed frosted window film.

• Make sure to not apply your printed frosted window film (AR02) in direct sunlight, make sure the temperature of the frosted window film itself, the windows themselves and the surrounding air is -ideally- around 12 to 18 degrees Celsius. The higher the temperature (above > 18 Celsius) the more difficult it is to install window films!
• Use 2 or more people when installing your printed frosted window film (AR02). One person holding the top/left of the window film and one person holding the bottom/right, to correctly position the frosted window film onto the glass. Subsequently, during installation one person holds the window film a couple of centimetres above the surface of the glass, while the other person cards with the squeegee, starting in the centre of your frosted window film.
• Extensively clean the windows, window frames and the surrounding area, including you work environment. Clean it of grease, durst, dirt, flies, spiders, etc.. Watch out for your fingerprints on the window glass itself and the adhesive of the printed frosted window film (AR02). Lock you pets up.

How to install your printed frosted window film (AR02)

Below you find the instructions on how to install your printed frosted window film (AR02). You have been supplied with a bubble free printed frosted window film. So you do not need to use any water, if you desire so. If you are inexperienced or are installing very large frosted window films you way want to use a light mist of water.

• Always keep your printed frosted window film flat, so that the window film does not bend/fold and create creases.
• Extensively clean the window and window frame thoroughly. Remove paint, grease and other dirt. If any is left behind, it will always be visible! Also clean the surrounding area, like the window-frames and your work environment. If you are installing near the ceiling and/or the ground make sure they are also clean. Also be wear of flying insects. Lock-up your pets.
• Use the freely supplied squeegee and card over the application-tape / transfer-tape on the front of the printed frosted window film to further increase the bond between the two. Use a sturdy flat surface, like a table.
• Remove the backing paper. Carefully! At a 45 degrees angle (or find the angle that best fits your design). When your bespoke window film contains cut-outs, be very careful when removing the backing paper, as to not tear the window film itself, when parts remain stuck to the backing paper. Take your time, most mistakes occur here!
• You are supplied with bubble free printed frosted window film with air-channels. So no water is required. If you are (very) inexperienced or are installing very large frosted window films you way want to put a light mist of water onto the glass.
• Install the printed frosted window film (AR02) with the application-tape/transfer-tape to the window glass, position the printed frosted window film at the preferred location. Use two people, for very large films use 3 people. Use to window film itself to position your window film correctly (do NOT use the backing paper or application-tape/transfer-tape to position your window film).
• Use your supplied free squeegee. Start in the middle/centre of the printed frosted window film and move horizontal/vertical with overlapping movements towards the edge of your window film. During which you pull-and-hold the printed frosted window film a couple centimetres (2 inches) above the glass / surface itself.
• Check to see if there is still any air trapped, between the window film and the glass itself. In the rare occasion that air is still trapped between the window and the window film. Gently push the air bubble with your thumb. No need to use force. If you do not succeed without using force use a pinprick to burst the air bubble.
• Allow the self-adhesive of the window film enough time to stick to the glass. So that removing the application-tape/transfer-tape does not lift the frosted window film from the surface / glass. Remove the transfer-tape/application-tape after a couple of hours, 6 to 12 hours should be enough. Do NOT pull the transfer-tape/application-tape away from the glass. Pull transfer-tape/application-tape downwards along the glass.
• If, when removing the application-tape/transfer-tape, you lift the printed frosted window film from the window glass. Wait 24 to 48 hours before removing the application-tape/transfer-tape.
• Only clean the window film with water and a very mild soap using a soft cloth.
