A very small clear borer should be visible between the edge of the film and the frame. This is normal and is integral to the installation process as it allows the removal of the water. The principles of handling film are the much the same no matter what kind of film you are using. Once you are happy with the size of your piece of film, lay it on a clean surface and slowly remove the clear liner. Get someone to help you if it makes it easier. Facing the adhesive side of the film to the glass, place the top edge of the material onto the top edge of the glass and position accordingly, the washing up liquid should allow you to move the material on the glass. Water bubbles are a factor in window filming that can not be avoided. Depending on the tools and pressure applied, you may remove up to 95% of the application fluid. The remaining 5% due to surface tension will form small bubbles and if left alone, will completely dry. This process normally takes no longer than 30 days but can take up to 60 days depending on the quality of installation. Give yourself enough space to work. You will need enough flat surface to lay out the film for measuring, cutting, marking and prep. Do not run a fan near the film or glass surface during installation. This can cause dust and debris to blow onto your film and become trapped. Steps
Wetting solution is the secret ingredient to a smooth, seamless installation. Make a solution by adding 8-10 drops of a mild, non-moisturizing dish detergent (Dawn or Joy; do not use hand soap) to a 32-oz. spray bottle filled with clean water (adjust ratio for smaller or larger bottles). More soap may be needed when applying film to acrylic surfaces. Mix well.

Lustalux LTD recently completed a large scale installation of reeded window film to an office at the Media City in Manchester. Commercial Partner or Home DIY Specification Details for SX-1255 1 Reeded Glass - Decorative Glass Film (Films & Coatings for Glass) Starting at the top and working down to the bottom, push all the water out towards the edges. Repeat on the other side.Once trimmed, continue to remove the water, working from the centre seal outwards in overlapping motions with your Professional Squeegee. This ensures the maximum removal of application fluid. All films can be easily removed without any damage to the glass. Begin by peeling the film away from one corner of the glass and pulling down until the entire panel is removed. If any adhesive remains, it can be easily removed with window cleaner, soapy water or a single-edge razor blade. Using the reeded film has saved us a fortune. I hated our Victorian internal doors and wanted to change them for modern ones but I was torn because they are original. My husband found this film online and we think it looks excellent. The best bit is that I change the film to match out décor over the years. Such a great idea. Suddenly I don’t dislike the doors as much and its saved us a lot of money. SX-SC700 easyfit 3D Bars is an striped, lightly textured static cling film with 3/16” frosted holographic lines. It provides obscured visibility and excellent light transmission. Sometimes called Fluted glass, this is a textured stripe finish moulded into the glass surface. Multiple flutes are side-by-side with a common 1/2-inch or 1/4-inch spacing. The pattern bends light as it passes through the glass and this obscures your vision. Why is Reeded glass texture so popular?
