Frequently asked questions

• How do I apply window film?

  With a little patience and attention to detail, and by following the installation instructions carefully, you can install your window film yourself. For large surfaces (bay windows, for example), we recommend two people.

  
  

  Find out how to apply self-adhesive films in this article.

  Discover the electrostatic film installation tutorial in this article.

  If you don't want to do the installation yourself, don't hesitate to ask for a quote.

• Should metallized film be applied indoors or outdoors?

  We recommend applying a metallized film to the outside of the glass. The film will be more effective, and your glass will be protected from any thermal shock.

  Don't panic: our films are designed to withstand the vagaries of the weather over time.

  
  

  If you cannot apply your metallized film on the outside, you can apply it on the inside in the following cases:

  • Non-laminated single glazing
  • Double-glazed windows less than 1.2m² in area

  
  

  Good to know: These precautions must be taken to limit the risk of thermal shock, but there is no such thing as 0 risk. Also, there is no contraindication to installing a transparent film on the inside.

  If in doubt, contact our advisors.

• How do I remove my window film?

  Just pull at a gentle angle. If you have electrostatics, it's even easier.

  Here's a tutorial on how to remove adhesive window film.

  You can also find out how to remove and store your electrostatic window film.

• Does mirror-effect film protect against heat?

  Yes, mirror-effect films automatically protect against heat. Protection varies according to shade. The heat protection properties of mirror effect films are given in the technical data sheet.

• Does the mirror effect film work at night with the lights on?

  No: the mirror effect always occurs on the brighter side. If it's brighter inside than outside, the mirror effect is reversed.

  By the way, there's no such thing as a one-way mirror effect film that works at night with the lights on.

• Is the brightness of a room affected by mirror-effect solar film?

  Yes and no; it's a fairly subjective criterion.

  Technically, the more tinted the film, the greater the impact on room luminosity. A very light film, on the other hand, will have virtually no impact.

  On the other hand, your feeling of "loss of brightness" will depend on :

  • variations in external light
  • your visual acuity
  • your expectations in terms of brightness

  The best way to answer this question is to ask for free samples and test them on your windows! 😉

• Is mirror-effect film dangerous for birds?

  The reflection caused by the mirror effect can actually confuse birds. For this reason, we offer anti-collision stickers. Their purpose is to warn of an obstacle, and thus change the bird's trajectory.

• Does the color of the film affect its technical characteristics?

  Yes and no. The color of the film is purely aesthetic. We would like to point out, however, that the "Silver" colors are the most effective in terms of face protection.

  To see the characteristics of a film, we invite you to read its description and technical data sheet.

• What is thermal shock?

  Thermal shock is a reaction that occurs when there is too great a temperature difference between the glass and the surrounding air. This can cause cracks and damage to your glass.

  
  

  Thermal shock can occur, for example, if you apply a dark tinted film to a large area of double-glazed glass on the inside. The glass will overheat, and may break.

  
  

  To avoid the risk of thermal shock, we recommend outdoor installation.
