Installing window film Bolton

Posted by Johny Dean on January 26th, 2014

Window films are special coatings that have a multitude of benefits. They provide privacy, reduce glare, minimise heat transfer, and protect against vandalism. Window films can be used in vehicle tinting Bolton, or they can be installed to window glass in buildings.

When they are installed to vehicles, window films are usually dark, and when they are mounted on flat glass, they are clear. Those who want to enhance the windows of their car, house or headquarters can address a company specialised in installing window films.

Such companies are rarely specialised in installing only car window films or only commercial films; they generally install both these types of films, as these two types of products are basically the same. While it is fairly easy to install a window film on your own, it is recommended that you address a professional.

A window film Bolton usually comes in a standard size and is cut by the specialist installing it on a car window or flat glass. This task requires attention to detail and should not be considered an easy project that can be undertaken by any do-it-yourselfer.

To install a window film Bolton that is properly cut to the dimensions that you need, first you have to wash the glass where the film will be mounted. The window has to be completely free of dirt, debris and water.

If the window already benefits from a window film, this has to be removed before installing a new one. Under no circumstance, install a new window film on an already existing film, because this would darken your view too much and give you blurred images.

Window films, whether it is about vehicle tinting Bolton or flat glass covering, are placed on the interior side of the window, and rarely on the exterior. To properly install the film, gently unroll it and align it immediately next to the window jamb.

The film needs to be installed only on the glass, never on the window jamb, to avoid getting it dirty very quickly. Still, do not imagine that a window film, once positioned on a glass, will resist there for decades; once in a while, a replacement is in order.

When the window film is aligned over the interior side of the glass, start pressing it onto the window, making sure no air bubble is caught along the way. The application of the film needs to be even, without ridges. If bubbles do get form, use your fingers to equalise the surface.

When the application is done, eliminate the excess film by trimming it with a small knife. Here is how, in just a few minutes, specialists apply window films to windows, without using adhesives or other substances that could harm, over time, the structure of the glass.
