Installation of solar control glass film

Proper installation of solar control glass film is essential for optimal performance. Installation begins by thoroughly cleaning the glass surface to remove dust and dirt. Next, the film is carefully cut to size and applied to the glass using a special applicator. A solution of water and soap is used to position and smooth the film to prevent air bubbles and creases. For lasting adhesion and tight results, the film must dry completely, which can take several days. Professional installation is recommended to fully reap the benefits of heat and glare reduction and to maximize the life of the solar control film.
