Today you can choose from two basic types of window films – adhesive-free and adhesive based. In the past there were only adhesive based, but today it is recommended to choose adhesive-free. They are much easier to install and remove than adhesive based.

Installation of an adhesive-free film is a snap. You just wash your window, cut the film to your specific size, apply a layer of water to the glass and put the film in place. Squeegee away water and air bubbles and enjoy the new window look.

If you’re looking for a simple and cost-effective way to improve the privacy of your home or office, consider opaque or privacy window films. They offer very good visual protection against prying eyes and still allow high degrees of light to come through.
