The Installation Process: What to Expect When Getting 3M Window Films Installed

Preparation

1. Initial Consultation: The process begins with a consultation where an expert from Olympus Window Films will assess your needs and recommend the appropriate 3M Window Film options. This step includes measuring windows and discussing your specific requirements for security, privacy, sun control, or decorative needs.

2. Scheduling the Installation: Once you’ve decided on the type of film, the next step is to schedule the installation at a convenient time. Our team will work with you to find the best time to minimize any disruption to your routine.

During the Installation

1. Cleaning the Windows: The installation team will start by thoroughly cleaning your windows to ensure that the film adheres properly. This step is crucial for a smooth and bubble-free application.

2. Cutting the Film: Next, the film is carefully cut to match the dimensions of your windows. Precision is key here to ensure a perfect fit and seamless look.

3. Applying the Film: The film is then applied to the window. Our installers use a special solution to allow the film to be positioned correctly before it adheres. This solution also helps to eliminate any air bubbles during application.

4. Smoothing and Trimming: Once the film is in place, it is smoothed out with a squeegee to remove any remaining air bubbles and excess solution. The edges are then trimmed to fit perfectly within the window frame.

After the Installation

1. Drying Time: After the installation, the film needs time to dry and fully adhere to the window. This drying time can vary depending on the type of film and the weather conditions, but it typically takes a few days to a couple of weeks.

2. Care Instructions: The installer will provide you with care instructions, including how to clean your windows without damaging the film. Generally, you should avoid using harsh chemicals and abrasive materials.

3. Final Inspection: Our team will conduct a final inspection to ensure the film is applied perfectly and meets your expectations. Any minor adjustments will be made at this stage.
