Installation Guide

ENGLISH
1. Clean Glass. Thoroughly remove any dirt or debris from the window using a razor blade if necessary. Artscape lm will adhere to a clean smooth
glass or plexiglass surface. The product will not adhere to frosted or textured glass.
2. Measure Window / Trim Film. It is necessary that a 1/16" margin exist between the lm and the window frame (inside the gasket). Trim lm on paper
backing or on a clean at surface using a straight edge and sharp utility knife. For odd shaped windows make a paper pattern then trace and cut.
3. Wet Glass. Add a couple drops of liquid soap to a spray bottle with warm water and wet window. Applying generous amounts of the water/soap
mixture will make the installation process easier & more successful. Protect surrounding areas with a drop cloth or towel. Do not allow paper
backing to get wet!
4. Remove Backing. Peel lm from the paper backing starting in the corner. Protect the lm from lint and debris. If lm comes in contact with itself,
carefully separate. Keep paper backing dry while on the lm.
5. Apply Film. Place the shiny side that was facing paper backing onto the well saturated glass and position.
6. Squeegee. Spray the outside of lm with soapy water mixture. Starting from the center, use a squeegee to press out air bubbles. Place a towel at
the base of the windowsill to catch excess water. Squeegee repeatedly until dry. No glue is needed and should not be used.
Notes:
Artscape lms have a repeating pattern and will tile together when factory edges are matched top to bottom or side to side. During application squeegee
towards the seam. The lm will cover any size window, each sheet is one repeat.
When applying to the glass, do not use any adhesives. Film will remain on the glass until removed.
Some window manufacturers’ warranties are void when a window lm is applied. Window lm does not break glass. However, it can reveal or accelerate
an inherent defect that is in the glass. Occurrences of breakage are rare.
Not recommended for use in light xtures or near any articial heat source.
Do not layer Artscape window lms over other window lms.
Film can be cleaned using any mild household window cleaner.
To assure that product adheres to window:
1) Window must be completely clean.
2) Must be a cool (55-70ºF), smooth surface with no texture of any kind.
3) Shiny side of Artscape must be against the glass.
4) Do not allow lm to touch window frame or gasket.
This product is intended for decorative purposes and to provide privacy. As with all color pigments it may, in time, fade.
WARNING: Please keep all plastic lms away from young children.

Artscape Window Films are not suitable for all applications. Where window lms
are subjected to EXTREME sunlight, heat and/or humidity conditions, the lm should
be removed and replaced with new lm every 1-2 years as needed. Under
normal conditions, it is recommended that Artscape Window Films be removed and
replaced at least once every four years. Like many home products (window
treatments or shower curtains, etc.), window lm can absorb odors from the
environment and needs to be cleaned periodically.
