Tools and Hardware Reviews of Gila LEG361 Heat Control Residential Window Film, Light, 36-Inch by 15-Feet
Customer Review: Not particularly difficult
Summary: 5 Stars
Like a previous reviewer, my husband and I also live in Texas (Austin as well, in fact) and decided to install window films in our new house. We've had record heat this year, so it seemed like a wise investment. Enter Gila.
I actually did the first two windows by myself and didn't have too much of a problem. I ended up with one barely-noticeable crease in the first from not being careful enough about peeling off the backing, but otherwise didn't have too much trouble. It was easier, however, doing the remaining windows with two people. The windows look fantastic, nearly professional grade, and certainly nothing like the horrid window tinting that people throw up in old clunker cars.
Tips:
1) Read the instructions.
2) Clean your windows obsessively before starting.
3) Cut the film ~1 inch larger on each side.
4) Peel the backing off VERY slowly and carefully.
5) Spray the window and both sides of the film liberally with a soap & water solution. You can use the stuff in the application kit for this or just mix up some baby shampoo or dish soap with water. There's no such thing as too much of the stuff sprayed on your windows (as long as you clean up the windowsills afterward), but you WILL have trouble if you spray too little!
6) Squeegee all the bubbles out, working from the center outward.
7) Use a razor blade to trim the edges only after you've squeegeed all of the liquid out from between the window & the film. If you leave much, the film may slip while you're trimming.
And that should do it. If you end up with any micro-bubbles in the film, they should disappear within a couple of days.
