1. Choose the right membrane material
Before proceeding with glass filming, it is necessary to first choose the appropriate film material. There are different types of glass films on the market, such as UV protection films, heat insulation films, reflective films and privacy films. Depending on your needs, it is important to choose the right membrane material for functionality, appearance and budget.
2. Preparation of the construction environment
The hygiene and temperature of the construction environment have a direct impact on the effect of the film. Before construction, it should be ensured that the construction environment is dry and clean, and avoid dust, oil and other pollutants affecting the adhesion of the membrane. The application temperature should be kept between 10°C and 30°C, too cold or too hot will affect the bonding effect of the film and glass.
3. Glass cleaning
The glass surface must be thoroughly cleaned before the film is applied. Use an appropriate glass cleaner and fiber-free cloth to remove dirt, oil, and dust from the glass surface. It is recommended to use a scraper or wiper to completely scrape the moisture dry to ensure that the film fits more firmly on the dry glass surface.
4. The right construction tools
It is important to prepare the right construction tools. Commonly used tools include spray bottles, scrapers, blades, rulers, and spirit levels. Be careful when using these tools to ensure that the film is cut flat and avoid burrs or irregular shapes.
5. Installation tips
During the actual construction process, a spray bottle can be used to spray a layer of water on the glass surface and the adhesive surface of the membrane, which can help adjust the position of the membrane and avoid the formation of air bubbles. When applying the film, make sure that the film is kept straight, and try to avoid folding and overlapping.
6. Pay attention to the handling of air bubbles
After the initial application, bubbles may form. At this time, you can use a hard object such as a scraper or credit card to gently scrape outward from the center of the bubble to force out the air in the bubble. If the bubbles are large, they can be punctured with a needle on the surface of the membrane and then treated with a spatula.
7. Precautions for the curing period
After the film is applied, it is necessary to follow the curing period requirements given by the film manufacturer. During the curing period, the surface of the film should be avoided with water, and high temperature and strong sunlight should be avoided as much as possible, and the surface of the film should not be wiped vigorously, so as not to affect its adhesive effect and aesthetics.
8. Professional construction advice
If the applicator is not confident enough in his or her film technology, or has doubts about the selection and construction of the film, it is recommended to seek a professional company for construction. Professionals can not only provide high-quality membrane materials, but also ensure the quality and effectiveness of construction.
