Step 1: Gather Materials

Before you start, make sure you have all the materials you need:

• Solar film
• Measuring tape
• Utility knife or scissors
• Spray bottle with soapy water
• Squeegee

Step 2: Measure Your Windows

Measure your windows to determine how much solar film you’ll need. Add an extra inch to both the height and width to make sure you have enough film to work with.

Step 3: Clean Your Windows

Clean your windows thoroughly with soap and water. Make sure there is no dirt or debris left on the surface, as this can cause bubbles to form under the film.

Step 4: Cut the Solar Film

Cut the solar film to the correct size, using your measurements from step 2. Use a utility knife or scissors to cut the film to size.

Step 5: Apply the Film

Spray a light mist of soapy water onto the window, then apply the film to the window. Use a squeegee to smooth out any air bubbles, working from the center outwards.

Step 6: Trim the Excess Film

Cutoff any excess film around the edges of the window using a utility knife or scissors. Be careful not to scratch the window or damage the film.

Step 7: Smooth Out the Film

Use the squeegee to smooth out any remaining air bubbles or wrinkles in the film. Make sure the film is flat and flush against the window.

Step 8: Enjoy Your New Solar Film

Once the film is fully applied and smoothed out, allow it to dry completely. Enjoy your newly tinted windows and the benefits of reduced heat and glare.
