Installation instructions
Before installing the electrostatic films, ensure the surface is clean and dry. Use a soft cloth to remove dust and dirt. Also, make sure the surface is smooth and free of any imperfections that could prevent the film from adhering properly.
Application of the electrostatic film
To apply the electrostatic film, first remove the protective film from the back of the film. Then, place the film onto the surface, starting at a corner and smoothing it down gradually to avoid air bubbles. Once the film is in place, use a rubber squeegee to smooth it and remove any remaining air bubbles.
Tips for a successful installation
To ensure successful installation of electrostatic films, avoid stretching the film during application to prevent distortion. Also, avoid trapping dust or dirt under the film, as this can compromise its adhesion. Finally, if you encounter any difficulties during installation, please consult the instruction guide provided with the film or contact the manufacturer for further assistance.
Required materials

Electrostatic films can be peeled and applied directly onto glass.
For a better bond to
the glass and less chance for air bubbles to form, follow these steps.

1. Preparing the surface
It is important that the window be clean. It should be free of dust and residue. This includes the window frame and sill. You will get the best results by using a clean microfibre cloth and the glass cleaner. It is recommended to wait 2 weeks before installing your frost if the adjacent walls have been painted. The water could leave marks in fresh paint.
2. Preparing your installation
It is recommended to have two people for the installation.
Peel off the electrostatic film from the backing paper. One person will hold the unrolled film by two corners and as far from the floor as possible. The second person will spray the surface with your mixture of water and dish soap. Now spray the window or glass. Don’t be shy. It is important that the surfaces be very wet. When both surfaces are wet you can apply your window vinyl.
3. Installation
Apply the electrostatic film onto the glass. You should have enough water on the glass surface to be able to slide the film into place. Use a spatula (you can use a credit card wrapped in paper towel) to firmly press the water out from between the glass and the electrostatic film. Press from the middle and push the water out towards the side and the bottom. We recommend that you wet the surface of the film before beginning to remove the water so as not to scratch it.
Electrostatic film is temporary. You can take it off and reuse it on another surface. To preserve it properly, store the electrostatic film flat.
