Applying Rear Projection Film in retail
Applying rear projection film to retail windows is becoming a common event, there are some things to think about during the preparation process and the installation process.
These basic steps apply to all the rear projection films we carry
1. Preparation
· Prepare install location
o Preparing the install location is important so once you start the application process of your rear projection film you have less issues. Measuring out your width and height of your rear projection film and placement on the window is important, measure where the screen will be placed and tape off your corners with masking tape that can be easily removed during installation. Measuring off the corners where your rear projection film will sit will make your rear projection film installation much easier
· Clean windows
o Clean installation surfaces are essential to a professional looking rear projection film installation, Make sure to clean the window thoroughly with an appropriate cleaning solution (ammonia based solutions may not provide the best results, using the same application liquid is a good option) and wipe with a lint free towel or similar solution.
· Projection Film Installation
o Now that your windows are cleaned and prepped for installation get your rear projection film ready and on any screen size over a 40” a helper is recommended. Prepare the rear projection film by spraying both sides of the projection film with your application fluid as well as the window (the more fluid the better) next have your helper hold the film and spray application fluid on their fingers that will be holding the rear projection film.
Now that the film is sprayed and ready start with one corner and peel the rear projection films adhesive release layer back and have your helper grab the film in the corner you have peeled and make sure the fingers they grab the film with have application solution on them.
As you peel the release layer back spray the film as it is shown so it does not start to collect any dust or particles in the air, once the release layer is off your rear projection film quickly make sure your window is still soaked with application fluid and then place your rear projection film on the window
· Applying the projection film
o Now that your film is one the glass align your rear projection film to your pre taped corners and set in place, make sure the front side of your rear projection film is sprayed down with application fluid and then use one hand to keep the projection film in place and then use your squeegee to start pulling the application liquid out from under your film from the center of the film and pulling outward.
Once you have removed the application fluid out from under half of the film move your hand to the other side of the film to hold in place and repeat the process on the second side of the film
· Completing you rear projection film install
Once the application fluid is out from both sides of the film go back and look to make sure no application fluid is trapped under your rear projection film (trapped liquid will result in air pockets that will be noticeable once the application fluid evaporates) rewet the rear projection film surface if needed and work out any fluid trapped. Once this is done use your same lint free cloths to clean all excess application fluid from on and around the rear projection film.
