Instructions for self- tinting windows in the apartment

warm rays of the sun can cause serious discomfort in the apartment.Once in the room, they not only create discomfort to the eye, but also the cause of the temperature rise.For those who do not want to defend themselves against this phenomenon by heavy curtains, there is an optimum output - a special window tinting film.

Film: purpose and types

main purpose of protective window films - filtering sunlight.They reflect light waves certain size from entering the inside of the room.Performance characteristics are very similar to ordinary sunglasses - a specially treated surface is artificial radiation spectrum filters.

The main task of the protective coating is to reflect the infrared (heat) waves.The film is made by rolling several layers of polyester.The number of layers of the starting material determines the thickness of the product, and additional (color) components - filtration capacity.

for tinting windows of special architectural styles to be used.Depending on the processing plant and the composition of the starting material, it is divided into the following types:

• Sun.It performs only light filtering function.
• with a smooth surface.In addition to reflect the ability of the outer layer of the mirror makes it impossible to see from the street is happening in the room.
• toned and strengthened.By increasing the thickness of the film has not only reflect, and protective functions.Used for the panoramic windows in both public and private buildings.

For residential premises is recommended to choose products with the index 20% to 40% opacity.Their installation will reduce the amount of sunlight, keeping the relative transparency of the window construction.

Technology pasting

Before working it is necessary to clarify that the quality pasting is only possible in the factory.This is due to the specifics of the production process.film deposition technology on the glass surface takes place in the following stages:

1. Cutting blanks.Its size should be 5-10 mm less than the window size.
2. degreasing surfaces.
3. application of special transparent adhesive.
4. Laying film.
5. alignment on the glass surface.
6. Making glass.Glass film is set inside.

This respected sterile cleanliness - installed special equipment to remove dust.

In order to implement this process at home, you need the following materials and tools:

• Sun film.Pre-measured window size - the size of the film should be 3-4 cm longer.
• soap solution.To make it better to use a colorless liquid soap, diluted with water in a ratio of 1: 3.
• 2 spatula - with a soft sponge (car) and a hard rubber tip.
• Tatters.

Many try to stick the film without dismantling the glass.It should be borne in mind that in the process of coating shrinkage dimensions may vary downwards - will appear on the glass region around the bead, which is not a film.To avoid this, first dismantled glazing.If old-style windows (2 separate window) - the film is glued to the inner surface of the outer glass.

The first phase degreased glass surface.Running his treatment and water solution with a spatula with a sponge all the moisture is removed.Then spray apply a uniform layer of soapy water.Most of it is cleaned with a sponge.Then, on the glass film is placed upside down and remove the protective layer.Carefully taking the film, overturn it and attached to the top of the glass.With the help of a staple with a rubber tip evenly paste the protective layer.

To remove air bubbles using a cloth.Smooth movement from the design center to the edges aligned with the surface.It is worth noting that in this way to get rid of all the bubbles can not be - the macroscopic elements still remain.They have the abyss during the final drying - during the drying of the film decreases and the internal pressure will remove the airbags.Only then can cut the edge of the coating process.This process can take from 2 to 4 days.The video is shown in detail on the example of the process of toning film labels.

At its end can be installed in the glazing design.With the help of glazing beads film acquires an additional fixation.In the future, when cleaning windows is not recommended to make an effort - or the film may be damaged or displaced relative to the glass.
