🛠 What You’ll Need:

• Window film (cut to size or roll)
  
• Spray bottle with soapy water (a few drops of dish soap in water)
  
• Utility knife or sharp blade
  
• Squeegee or plastic card (e.g. credit card)
  
• Tape measure
  
• Ruler or straight edge
  
• Microfiber cloth or paper towels
  
• Masking tape (optional)
  

📋 Step-by-Step Instructions:

1. Clean the Window Thoroughly

• Use glass cleaner or the soapy water mix to clean the window.
  
• Remove all dust, dirt, and grease.
  
• Dry with a lint-free cloth.
  
• Tip: Clean the edges and corners well—any debris can cause bubbles.
  

2. Measure and Cut the Film

• Measure the window’s height and width.
  
• Cut the film slightly larger (1–2 cm extra on each side).
  
• If it's a patterned film, ensure the design lines up properly.
  

3. Wet the Window

• Spray the entire window generously with the soapy water.
  
• The water allows you to reposition the film and reduces bubbles.
  

4. Peel Off the Backing

• Carefully peel off the backing layer from the film.
  
• If it’s tricky, use two small pieces of masking tape on each side to help separate the layers.
  
• Tip: As you peel, spray the adhesive side of the film with soapy water.
  

5. Apply the Film to the Window

• Place the wet adhesive side of the film onto the wet glass.
  
• Slide the film into position.
  
• Don’t worry if it’s not perfect right away—adjust while everything is wet.
  

6. Remove Bubbles and Excess Water

• Use a squeegee or plastic card wrapped in a soft cloth.
  
• Start from the center and work outwards to the edges.
  
• Wipe excess water as it comes out.
  
• Be gentle to avoid scratching the film.
  

7. Trim the Edges

• Once positioned, use a sharp utility knife and straight edge to trim excess film along the window frame.
  
• Spray the film lightly while trimming to reduce friction.
  

8. Final Squeegee and Drying

• Go over the film again with the squeegee to remove any remaining water and bubbles.
  
• Leave the film to dry for 24–48 hours.
  
• Avoid touching or cleaning the film during this time.
