Tous les films All Réflectiv films are installed in the same way. The following tools will be necessary :

  • a cutter a cutter
 
  • a spray a spray
 
  • a squeegee a squeegee
  1. Clean the glass with water and soap. We recommend using an alcohol-free dishwashing liquid with water.
  2. Cut the film to the size 2mm smaller than the window.
  3. Take off the plastic layer protecting the adhesive side of the film. Using an adhesive tape might help. Stick two ends together in the corner of the film. Once you take it off the protective layer will detach from the film.
  4. While removing the protective film, spray the adhesive side with soap water. Once you have placed the film on the window you should be able to slide it and look for the best position. For the same reasons, before placing the film you can spray the window with water.
  5. After you have placed the film on the window correctly, spray it lightly with water in order to moisten it and allow gliding the squeegee along the window. Begin at the top, and glide the squeegee from the central part towards the edges. This will help remove water from between the film and the window and let the glue stick the two together.
  6. That’s it!

    Smart Tip: If you have very large windows you would like to cover, demanding lining up the pattern you can place two films side by side without overlaying them. It is practically unnoticeable.

No. The security film SEC 058 is very thick, it must rub with the squeegee SEC 058 which allows special strongly support over without damaging. If you used a scraper of any kind, it is likely that there is more water between the glass and the film, which prevents it from sticking properly.
