STOP Glass & Aluminium Protective Tape and Film from coming loose

The Problem: Loose Ends

Protective film and tape often come loose when the ends and edges are not perfectly sealed. These loose ends act as entry points for the elements, contributing to the tape and film coming loose and ultimately compromising the protection.

A simple adjustment to your application process can solve the common problem of film and tape coming loose on aluminium windows and doors. This guide shows you how.

The Simple Two-Step Solution

Step 1 : Use a Squeegee

To Apply Protective Film to Glass

Use a squeegee to evenly apply the film across the entire glass surface. This ensures a smooth, bubble-free application and a perfect seal right to the edges.

Step 2: Use a Cloth

To Apply Protective Tape to Aluminium

Use a cloth to apply protective tape to your aluminum frames. This will ensure a better bond to the surface, smoothing out bubbles and preventing the tape from coming loose.

Pro Tip: Avoid Overlapping

Try not to overlap the film as it sticks much better to the glass surface itself than it does to another layer of film.

Pro Tip: Secure Edges

Make sure the edges and corners of the tape & film are stuck down properly to prevent them from coming loose over time.

Surface Prep

Ensure the surface is completely **dust-free and dry** before application. Where possible apply in doors. This is crucial for proper adhesion.

Clean Hands

Avoid touching the adhesive side of the film and tape. If a section is touched, cut it off and use a fresh piece to ensure the glue remains effective.

Pro Tip: Cut, Don’t Snap

When applying tape to frames, use a sharp blade or scissors to cut it. Avoid stretching and snapping the tape, as this can affect the seal.

The Result: A Perfect Finish

This method ensures a smooth, even application that eliminates loose ends, which are the main cause of film and tape failure. Your products remain perfectly protected.
