The best feeling one can experience is to pack and unpack their belongings for the very first time in the rented house. All seems fantastic and magical until one remembers that the blinds cost money, and there is no extra budget at the moment. Fortunately, there is a solution to this problem – window films are affordable, removable, and easy to install as long as one is patient enough.

First of all, it is necessary to buy a good window film kit by such companies as Gila and Rabbitgoo. Also, a spray bottle, a squeegee, a utility knife and a tape measure will be needed. The thing is that estimating the sizes kills any Do-It-Yourself project. The next step is to clean the glass with water; do not forget to wipe the glass for the second time to make sure that there is no dust anymore.

Prepare the slip solution by mixing baby shampoo with water. Wet the glass surface completely so that the film would float on the surface. Next, one should remove the backing layer of the film and spray it immediately; the film has to be put onto the wet glass and centered as soon as possible.

The most exciting step is the application of the squeegee. Move the water and air bubbles towards the outer parts of the window in concentric circles. It is weird to pour the water on the window; however, one has to trust science. If some bubbles are stubborn, one should just lift the corner and do it again.

Next, one needs to cut the excess film using a utility knife, leaving a small margin. This will provide for perfect fitting of the film and will make sure that the film will not peel off in the future. Use the squeegee for the edges as well; now it is time to take a break and reflect on the brilliant job one has done!

Unfortunately, patience cannot be skipped here. If someone tries to hurry up during the installation process, the water pockets may occur under the film, ruining the whole work. The curing and drying of the film take about a month.
