How do I install stained glass window film?

Installing stained glass window film can be a relatively simple process, but it is important to take your time and follow the instructions carefully to ensure a successful installation.

1. Start by cleaning the window thoroughly with a glass cleaner and a lint-free cloth. Make sure to remove any dirt, dust, or debris from the window surface.
2. Measure the window to determine the size of the film you will need.
3. Once the film is in place, use a squeegee or similar instrument to smooth any wrinkles or bubbles. This will help to guarantee that the film adheres correctly to the window’s surface.
4. It is advised that the film be undisturbed for at least 24 hours after application to guarantee adequate adhesion to the surface.
5. The next step is to clip any surplus film from the window’s edges. This may be accomplished using a utility knife or scissors. Some films also come with a pre-cut pattern, so all you have to do is apply it to the window, and the design will be there.
