How to Keep Your Office Window Privacy Film Clean and Scratch-Free

Office window privacy films are great investments. They lower your power consumption and give your office space the privacy it needs. But did you know that they also protect your furniture from the sun’s rays?

Office window tints guarantee that your flooring, paintings and flooring will last you longer because they can minimize the fading of its colors. Window tints also protect offices in high floors from violent storms because they strengthen window panes.

Depending on the quality of the office window tinting used, it can last for a year up to 10 years. If you want to maximize the life of your office window tint and save on the costs of applying and reapplying it, simply follow these simple steps.

What to Expect Right After the Film is Applied

Right after the film is applied, the commercial window tint may be hazy in appearance. This is normal during the curing process, when excess moisture is trapped under the film. This can last up to 30 days depending on the window tint film and adhesive used, but it will eventually clear up. During this time, remember not to pop the bubbles that may have appeared. Doing so will damage the film and may result to the film peeling from the window. It is recommended not to clean the office window privacy film during the curing process.

What to Use to Clean the Privacy Films

After the 30-day curing process, you can now clean your office window privacy film. Choose to clean it early in the morning or late at night. There is a higher chance of it being damaged if it is cleaned under direct light.

Remember also not to put heavy pressure on it to avoid loosening the adhesive. Avoid using ammonia, vinegar, baking soda and brushes that will scratch the film. Be careful when you clean the edges of the office window privacy film. Once it sticks out, the adhesive will break and the tint will start peeling.

Old-fashioned dishwashing soap, water, and a squeegee can be used to clean your windows. When using a squeegee, remember to use a different cloth to clean the excess water in the windowsill and for the next window. Some debris from the windowsill may scratch the surface of the office window film.

Maintaining your office window privacy film by simply knowing when and how to clean it can extend its life. And with savings comes extra dollars to invest on something else.
