How To Install Static Window Clings

Installing static window clings increases the energy efficiency of your home, protects your privacy and saves your possessions from the UV rays of the sun. They stop the excessive sunlight from entering the house thus keeping it cool.

Moreover it protects the interior furnishings, flooring, and window treatments from fading caused by excess sunlight. Installing static clings on the windows is quite simple with release liners on the back.

Based on their size the static clings can be applied on wet or dry window surfaces. While wet application is usually for medium to large static clings, small static clings require dry surfaces for the application.

Get accurate measurements of the window before purchasing the clings to ensure a perfect fit. You can get a variety of static clings which can be applied to windows or removable storm panes.

To install a static cling on a wet surface, you first need to clean the area where you would be applying the cling. Wash the window with soap and paper towel so that it is clean and free of any debris and dirt streaks, which can cause bubbles in the window film.

Now using a sponge and water, wet the surface of the cling, which you would be applying to the glass. Now that the hard part is done, installing the sling is actually quite simple.

Starting from one corner of the film, peel the cling from the backing. Align the edges of the cling to the top of the window and then allow the wet solution to slide the decal into position. Once the cling is in position, use a putty knife or your hands to smooth out the wrinkles and the bubbles.

Spray detergent solution atop the cling and using a squeegee set the film into place. Trim the edges and dry the film with paper towels. The dry application needed for smaller sized static clings is the same.

Remove the cling from the board and place it in contact with the window. Now use a rubber roller work from the center of the film and roll out to the edges.
