If you’re looking for more privacy or want to reduce glare in your home, window film is a simple and effective solution. It’s easy to apply, and the result is a neat, modern finish that transforms your windows. Follow these steps for a top quality finish.
Safety tip: Always wear the appropriate safety equipment (safety glasses, gloves, ear muffs and a mask, for example) and always follow the instructions for the product or equipment.
Start by giving your window a thorough clean. Use window cleaner and a lint-free cloth to remove any dust, dirt, or grime. This ensures the privacy window film will stick properly and prevents peeling in the future.
Next, measure the dimensions of your window using a measuring tape. Transfer those measurements onto the window tint film. To make installation easier, add an extra 25mm of overhang around the edges, which you can trim off later.
When the privacy window film is properly positioned and smoothed, use a utility knife to trim off the excess film. Leave a small 2mm gap around the edges to allow any remaining solution to escape.
Finally, use the squeegee or a cloth to remove any leftover moisture or air bubbles. Once the window is completely dry, your window film should be securely in place and looking great.
Asbestos, lead-based paints and copper chromium arsenic (CCA) treated timber are health hazards you need to look out for when renovating older homes. These substances can easily be disturbed when renovating and exposure to them can cause a range of life-threatening diseases and conditions including cancer. For information on the dangers of asbestos, lead-based paint and CCA treated timber and tips for dealing with these materials contact your local council's Environmental Health Officer or visit our Health & Safety page.
When following our advice in our D.I.Y. videos, make sure you use all equipment, including PPE, safely by following the manufacturer’s instructions. Check that the equipment is suitable for the task and that PPE fits properly. If you are unsure, hire an expert to do the job or talk to a Bunnings Team Member.
