Transform Your Space with Mirror Window Film
Upgrade your home’s privacy and energy efficiency with our Static Cling Reflective Window Film. This high-performance film provides a sleek, modern look while acting as a shield against heat, glare, and prying eyes. Measuring 120cm x 5m, it is the perfect DIY solution for large windows, ranch sliders and glass doors.
How the Mirror Effect Works
It is important to understand that the "mirror" effect is determined by light intensity. The side with the most light will see a reflection, while the side with less light can see through.
-
Daytime (Maximum Privacy): During the day, the sun makes the outside much brighter than the interior. People outside will see a clear mirror reflection, while you enjoy a crystal-clear view of the outdoors.
-
Nighttime (Lights On): When it is dark outside and your interior lights are on, the effect reverses. The interior becomes the "bright" side, meaning the window will look like a mirror from the inside, and people outside will be able to see in.
Pro Tip: We recommend using curtains or blinds at night for total privacy.
-
Advanced Heat Insulation: Blocks up to 92% of Infrared Rays, keeping your home significantly cooler in the summer and reducing your energy bills.
-
UV Protection: Built-in UV layers protect your skin and prevent your furniture and flooring from fading.
-
Glare Reduction: Softens harsh direct sunlight, making it easier to see TV screens and monitors without squinting.
-
No-Glue Static Cling: Uses water for application rather than messy adhesives. This means it’s easy to reposition during installation and leaves zero residue when removed.
-
Durable Multi-Layer Construction: Features a wearable scratch-resistant layer, pigment layer, and a protective backing for long-lasting performance.
Easy 6-Step Installation Guide
1. Clean & Prep Thoroughly wash the window glass. Ensure the surface is 100% free of dust, grease, and debris. Any tiny speck trapped under the film will create a visible bubble.
2. Measure & Cut You have two options for a perfect fit:
-
The Pre-Cut Method: Measure your pane and cut the film to size beforehand, leaving a 1–2mm gap at all edges for easy water drainage.
-
The Pro-Trim Method: Apply a slightly oversized piece of film and trim it directly on the glass using a metal edge ruler and a sharp craft knife.
-
Critical Tip: Ensure the film sits only on the glass and does not touch the window seal or frame. If the film overlaps the seal, it will allow air underneath, causing the edges to lift.
3. Remove the Backing Film
Identify the clear protective backing film and peel it away. This is easiest to do while the film islaying flat on a clean table.
•Pro Tip: Use two pieces of scotch tape on opposite sides of one corner to pull the layers apart effortlessly.
•Handle with Care: The film is highly delicate once the backing is removed. It is vital to handle it gently to ensure it does not fold or crease; once a crinkle or fold is made, it becomes permanent and will not disappear after installation.
4. Spray Generously Create a solution of water and a few drops of dish soap. Generously spray both the window glass and the "Apply" side of the film (the black side that was against the backing paper, the mirror side faces inwards to your room). The more water you use, the easier it is to slide the film into the perfect position.
5. Apply to Glass Place the wet black side of the film onto the wet window. Since it is static cling, you can easily slide and reposition it until it is perfectly aligned.
6. Squeegee & Finish Using a squeegee or a flat plastic card, push all water and air bubbles out from the centre toward the edges. Wipe away excess water with a lint-free towel.
⚠️ IMPORTANT: Safety Installation Note
To ensure the longevity of your glass, always cover the entire window pane from edge to edge. Applying the film to only a portion of the glass creates a significant temperature imbalance between the covered (cool) and uncovered (hot) areas. This thermal stress can lead to "thermal shock," which may cause the glass to crack or break.
