What to Expect
### Step 1: Measure & Discuss I'll measure your windows, discuss what you're trying to achieve, and show you film samples. Different films give different effects - worth seeing them in person. ### Step 2: Application Glass cleaned thoroughly (crucial for bubble-free application). Film applied using soapy water and squeegee technique. Cut to exact size, edges sealed and trimmed. ### Step 3: Final Check Any tiny bubbles worked out, edges checked for lifting, glass given final polish. Film takes 24-48 hours to fully cure but looks finished when I leave.

Good to Know
> 🏠 **Rental properties:** Perfect solution if you can't replace glass or make structural changes. Fitted Friday, move in Monday, remove when you leave with no damage. **Multiple windows?** If you want the same film on several windows, I'll do them all in one visit. Setup and prep is half the time, so multiple windows are better value. **Pattern matching?** Decorative films with patterns need to be aligned properly, especially on adjacent windows. I'll make sure patterns line up and look intentional. **South-facing rooms?** Devon gets proper sun in summer. Solar control film can make south and west-facing rooms way more comfortable without blocking the view completely.
Frequently Asked Questions about Window film application in Ottery St Mary
What types of window film can you apply?
Privacy/frosted film (for bathrooms, ground floor windows), UV-blocking film (protects furniture from sun damage), decorative patterns, one-way mirror film, and solar control film (reduces heat). I'll advise what works best for your needs.
Is window film easy to remove if I don't like it?
Yes - quality films peel off cleanly without damaging the glass. Might leave a bit of adhesive residue but that comes off with soapy water. Unlike etching or sandblasting, film is completely reversible.
Will window film make my room dark?
Depends on the film. Privacy/frosted films let loads of light through - just diffuse it so you can't see in/out clearly. UV and solar films reduce glare a bit but you still get plenty of light. I'll bring samples so you can see.
Can you apply film to double glazing?
Yes, but only to the room-side surface of the glass. Some films can affect sealed units if applied incorrectly, so it's worth getting it done properly rather than DIY experimenting.
How long does window film last?
Good quality film applied properly lasts 7-10 years easily. Cheap stuff or poor application bubbles, peels, and looks awful within a year. You get what you pay for.
