✦ Technical information & application instructions for SK film

Self-adhesive repair film for windows and profiles for outdoor use

✦ Required tools

Carpet knife or cutter knife
Hot air gun (30–40 °C)
Film remover
Felt squeegee
Sandpaper (grit: 120 – 220 – 400)
Antistatic PVC/film cleaner
Touch-up pen in the matching colour (optional for edge corrections)

✦ Processing temperature

Optimum: +15 °C to +45 °C
Note: Below 15 °C, increased use of the hot air gun is required
Final adhesion: after approx. 24 hours

1️⃣ Colour matching & sample check

Compare the desired décor in advance with existing window film.
Is the colour shade unclear? Order a sample fan in the shop.
Tip: For slight deviations → cover a larger area for a more harmonious result.

2️⃣ Preparing the surface

Completely remove old, damaged film with a plastic scraper or sanding machine.

If the old film is still intact, the film texture must still be removed to create a smooth, pore-free surface.

Mask undamaged profile surfaces with a piece of repair film to protect them.

Use the squeegee with felt edge in the window corners to avoid damaging them.

Smooth transitions to the profile with sandpaper.

Sandpaper (grit 120->220->400)

For non-filmed elements, this step is omitted.

Important: Residues and unevenness cause blistering under the new film!

3️⃣ Cleaning

Surface must be free from dust, grease & silicone.
Recommended: Cleaning with anti-static PVC cleaner.
Warm with a hot air gun / allow to flash off.

4️⃣ Cutting the film to size

Small cut pieces = easier to handle
Our film is available on handy rolls
Cut the film to be at least 2 cm larger than the adhesive surface
Edges are precisely trimmed after lamination

5️⃣ Applying the film

Preheat the surface to approx. 30–40 °C
(Not every substrate is heat-resistant – check beforehand!)
Peel off the masking tape step by step, starting from one corner
Press the film down bubble-free with the felt squeegee – from the inside outwards
In case of air pockets: carefully lift the film and reapply
Adhesive is repositionable, final adhesion after 24h

6️⃣ Edge finishing

Gently heat the edges
Fold the film over & then trim flush with a utility knife
A clean cutting edge prevents detachment in bad weather

7️⃣ Corner finishing

For rounded or shaped corners: heat the film, adjust, fold over
Neatly trim off any excess
If necessary, touch up with a touch-up pen

✦ Storage of the film

Room temperature: 18–22 °C
