FAQ (Frequently asked questions)
Do anti-graffiti window films reduce glare?
Anti-graffiti is an optically clear film which when applied stops vandals from damaging your glass, steel, aluminum or any smooth surface.
How do anti-graffiti window films work?
Window film is a self-adhesive polyester film that is applied to glass surfaces additionally decorative films can be made out of vinyl. It is used as a “retrofit” application for existing glass on homes and commercial buildings in order to upgrade solar control, privacy, safety and appearance.
Solar radiation from the sun is divided into 3 components: visible light we can see, infrared we feel as heat and ultraviolet rays, which are invisible. As solar radiation strikes a piece of glass, window film acts as a “sunscreen” to block harmful UV rays as well as regulate the levels of heat and light passing through the glass. The amount of heat and light rejected is dependent upon the type of window film selected.
Can you put anti-graffiti window film on exterior windows?
Absolutely! Anti-graffiti film is an outdoor weatherable window film. While most window films are generally installed on the inside, anti-graffiti films are specifically designed for exterior application. Only window films designed for exterior application can be used outside.
How is anti-graffiti window film installed?
Installing anti-graffiti film requires the right tools for window preparation, installation and finishing. The process of preparation involves scraping the glass with a stainless blade (regular carbon steel can scratch glass), cleaning with a grease/dust removing spray, like Windex and finally squeegeeing and wiping with a shop towel or other non-shedding towel, the removed dirt, dust and any other particulates from the glass surface. 90% of a good window film installation is good preparation.
Once the window has been cleaned it’s then time to cut the film for installation. It’s best to cut the film larger than the glass surface and then trim the film once in window. If the window is wood framed, its better to pre-cut the film to exact size, as wood frames tend to “shed” particulate when wet.
At this stage the liner that covers the adhesive needs to be removed. A small piece of painter’s tape can be used to lift a corner. Once the liner is removed the film and glass is sprayed with a water based solution which contains a slip agent to keep the film from sticking too soon. The film is then applied to the glass and using a squeegee and other tools, the water is removed. Once the film is “stuck” a stainless steel blade is used to trim and finish the installation.
Can I install film myself?
The above instructions show how film is installed, however, there is both skill and experience required to obtain a top-quality installation. Window film is a very unforgiving product, unlike paint or woodwork once installed, it can’t be fixed, the film needs to be removed and the whole process has to be started again. Lux Window Films can often save you money and time as we have the experience to get the job done to the highest quality the first time. We recommend professional installation for the best results and a comprehensive warranty.
Are the films you install the same as I can buy from Amazon, Uline or Home Depot?
Anti-graffiti window films can be bought online, are they the same as professionals use? Not always. Many manufacturers only sell to certified installers to ensure correct installation methods are adhered to. Films from Gila and other manufacturers are made overseas and may not be of the same quality as the window films we use. It’s best to use films manufactured in North America as they are better quality, use adhesives and other materials that are made to last. All films look the same when first installed, however professional grade films look great years later. They won’t fade, yellow, crack or bubble. The last thing you want is to have to replace your film in a year or so.
