Measurement Tips

1. Measure the window frame trim: You'll apply tape to the frame, not the glass, so measure the outer edge of the trim.
2. Add 2-3 inches to each dimension: Extra film allows for easier application and trimming.
3. Measure height and width: Record both dimensions for each window.
4. Count your windows: Don't forget closet windows, kitchen windows, and bathroom windows.

1. Clean the Window Frame

Wipe down the window frame trim with a clean, dry cloth. Remove any dust, dirt, or moisture. The tape won't stick well to dirty or damp surfaces.

2. Apply Double-Sided Tape

Apply tape around the entire perimeter of the window frame trim. Press firmly to ensure good adhesion. Don't remove the backing yet.

3. Cut the Film to Size

Using your measurements, cut the film 2-3 inches larger than the window frame on all sides. It's better to have too much than too little.

4. Remove Tape Backing and Apply Film

Starting at the top, remove the tape backing and press the film onto the tape. Work your way around the perimeter. Don't worry about wrinkles yet - the film should be loose and baggy.

5. Shrink the Film with Heat

Using a hair dryer on medium-high heat, hold it 6-8 inches from the film. Move the dryer slowly across the surface. The film will shrink and become crystal clear, removing all wrinkles.

6. Trim Excess Film

Once shrunk, carefully trim any excess film along the edges with scissors or a utility knife. Leave a small border for a clean finish.
