Prevent Turf, Siding, and Patio Furniture Damage: Reflect Defense Anti-Reflective Window Film Installation Guide

Before installing Reflect Defense Anti-Reflective Film, a crucial step in preserving your turf, siding, patio furniture, and car moldings from melting, follow these pre-installation steps for the best results:

  1. Clean Glass Surface Thoroughly: Ensure the glass is immaculate using mild soap and water. Avoid solvents-based glass cleaners like Windex®. For stubborn residues, 85% isopropyl alcohol is effective – let it evaporate fully before film application.
  2. Ideal Glass Temperature: The glass temperature is key. It should be between 40º F and 70º F for optimal application. In warmer climates, apply the film early in the morning when the glass is cooler. Applying to overheated glass may lead to film stretching.
  3. Ensure Dryness: After cleaning, dry the glass completely using a lint-free cloth or industrial-grade paper towels.
  4. Conduct a Film Test: Familiarize yourself with Reflect Defense Film's properties by attaching a small test piece to the glass. This helps understand the film's adhesion strength and other characteristics.

Following these steps will ensure a successful application of Reflect Defense Anti-Reflective Window Film, safeguarding your outdoor spaces and surfaces effectively.
