TOOLS NEEDED
Spray Bottle
Liquid Soap
Squeegee
Paper Towels
Window Cleaner
Measuring Tape
Sharp Utility Knife
Straight Edge
CLEAN THE GLASS
Thoroughly clean window using a razor blade if necessary. Artscape films will adhere to a clean smooth glass or plexiglass surface. The film will not adhere to frosted or textured glass or walls.
MEASURE WINDOW + TRIM FILM
It is necessary that a 1/16” gap exists between the film edges and the window frame (inside the gasket). Mark and trim directly on the film while on paper backing using a straight edge and sharp utility knife. For odd shaped windows make a paper pattern then trace and cut.
WET GLASS
Add a couple drops of liquid soap to a spray bottle with warm water and saturate window. Applying generous amounts of the soapy solution will make the installation process easier and more successful. Take care to not get the paper backing wet while on the film.
REMOVE BACKING
Remove film from the paper backing starting in the corner. Protect the film from any debris. If film comes in contact with itself, carefully separate.
APPLY + SPRAY FILM
Place the shiny smooth side of the film that was facing paper backing onto the well saturated glass and position. Spray the outside of the film with the same soapy water solution.
SQUEEGEE
Starting from the center, use a squeegee to move out all air bubbles and water. If any bubbles remain, rub out to the nearest edge with a paper towel.
TILING FILMS
Artscape can easily be cut or tiled together to fit any size window. The pattern repeats left to right and top to bottom on the factory edges. Each sheet is one repeat.
