Instructions
•
•
Please read the instructions thoroughly before installing!
You will also need: Window cleaning agent, tape measure, utility knife, household detergent, ruler, spray bottle, (paper) towel.
1
Clean window. Clean your window with a
conventional household glass-cleaning agent. In
order to apply the tinted foil successfully, the
window pane must be completely dry and free of
grime.
7
Spray surface of foil. After you have positioned
the tinted foil, spray the front of the foil with water.
This is necessary in order to avoid damage to the
surface of the foil during the next step of the
installation.
2
Measure window. Measure your window. The
area to be measured is that within the rubber seal
or window frame. We recommend leaving a space
of 2 mm between the foil and the window frame.

Cut foil. The adhesive side (i. e. the side which will
contact the glass) of the tinted foil is covered with a
1
transparent protective foil. Lay the foil on a clean,
smooth surface (not on a carpet, to avoid static
electricity). The tinted foil itself should show
upwards and the transparent foil protecting it
should lie on the smooth surface. Now cut the foil
to the desired size using a ruler and a utility knife.
At this point, the tinted foil should still be covered
by the transparent protective foil. Warning: The
1
tinted foil
is tinted in a light black colour. To prevent
scratching both sides are covered with transparent
protective foils. These foils are remarkably thinner
than the tinted foil and completely transparent.
Smooth out moisture with wiper. Using the
rubber wiper provided, now smooth out all of the
moisture between the window pane and the foil,
starting from the middle of the pane and working
outwards towards the edges. When smoothing out
the moisture, pull only the soft rubber lip across the
foil. Use a soft cotton towel to remove water and
any remaining moisture that has been smoothed
out. Warning: Please pay particular attention to the
edges. The edges and corners of the installed
tinted foil may not come into contact with the
rubber seal or the window frame. Otherwise this
could have a negative effect on the ability of the foil
to adhere to the window pane.

Spray window pane. Mix a few drops of household detergent with cold water in a water spray
bottle. Spray the inner surface of the window pane
generously with this mixture. The liberal use of the
water/detergent mixture makes it simple to
subsequently position the tinted foil on the window
pane. Warning: The use of water is essential for the
adhesion of the foil!
Peel off protective foils. Peel off the transparent
protective foils from both sides of the tinted foil,
begin at one of the corners. Affix the tinted foil to
the window pane immediately after peeling off the
transparent protective foils. If the tinted foil
becomes stuck to itself, separate it carefully.
Warning: Make sure to keep dust and fluff away
from the tinted foil after the protective foils have
been removed from it!
Affixing the tinted foil. Put the side of the tinted
foil that was inside when wrapped onto the wet interior window pane. Due to the fact that you have
already sprayed the window pane generously with
the water/detergent mixture, it is now simple to
push the foil into the correct position. If this is not
possible, detach the foil and again spray the window pane generously with the mixture of water and
detergent. Caution: Do not apply glue to the tinted
foil! The foil is designed to adhere statically, without glue!
INFORMATION
• The transparency of the foil will improve after 2–3 days, once the remaining
water bet ween the foil and the window has evaporated.
• Use the foil only on the inside of the window pane.
• Some window manufacturer guarantees become invalid once a foil has been
applied to the window pane. Window foil does not cause glass to break. It
can, however, make an existing defect visible or accelerate its progress.
Glass breakage only happens in very rare cases.
• The tinted foil only adheres to clean, smooth glass surfaces. The foil will not
adhere to satined or structured glass surfaces.
• To ensure successful installation, do not install the tinted foil on heated window panes.
• When installing foil on larger windows, the assistance of a second person is
recommended.
• When measuring or cutting the foil, make use of the edges and corners provided on the product whenever possible.
• Using the wiper provided, always smooth out the moisture starting from the
middle of the pane and working towards the edges.
• You can cover any size of window by aligning several sheets next to each
other.
• Cleaning: The foil can be cleaned using conventional household window
cleaning agents. Do not use cleaning agents that contain a high amount of
alcohol or spirits! Test the cleaning substance on an inconspicuous spot
prior to use.
