​

1. Curing Period (Very Important)

Window film requires time to fully cure after installation.

​

Curing can take up to 30 days. During this period you may notice:

​

• Haze or cloudiness

• Small water pockets

• Slight visual distortion

​

These effects are normal and will gradually disappear as the film cures.

​

❌ Do not attempt to press, puncture, or disturb the film during curing.

​

2. Cleaning – When Can I Clean the Glass?

Do not clean the glass for at least 7 days after installation unless advised otherwise.

​

Cleaning too early can:

​

• Damage the film

• Lift edges

• Invalidate warranty

​

3. Cleaning – How to Clean Window Film

Once the curing period has passed:

​

✔️Use:

• Soft microfibre cloths

• Soft rubber squeegees

• Paper/kitchen roll

• Mild soapy water or specialist window film cleaners

​

❌ Do NOT use:

• Abrasive cloths or sponges

• Scrapers, blades, or razor tools

• Ammonia-based cleaners

• Strong chemicals or solvents

​

Improper cleaning methods may permanently damage the film and are not covered under warranty.

​

4. External Window Film – Additional Guidance

External window film is exposed to the elements and requires extra care.

​

• Expect more frequent cleaning due to weather and pollution

• Do not use pressure washers or abrasive tools

• Avoid scraping ice, debris, or contaminants from the film surface

​

Small particles or debris beneath external film are normal and do not affect performance.

​

5. Edges, Seams & Joints

You may notice:

​

• Small edge gaps (typically 1–2mm)

• Join lines or splices on larger panes

• Hairline gaps where film sections meet

​

These are standard installation features and allow for:

​

• Water drainage during installation

• Thermal movement of frames and glass

• Long-term performance of the film

​

They should not be tampered with.

​

6. Do Not Tamper With the Film

Do not:

​

• Pick at edges

• Apply tape or stickers directly to the film

• Attempt repairs or trimming yourself

​

Any tampering may cause damage and will void applicable warranties.
