Reflective film

[Lexx]

I need some reflective film for my garage windows, is there anywhere that sells it by the metre need about 5-6m ?

Had a look in Halfords (Lisburn) at the weekend, but they only had rolls for van windows in stock.

If its just for a garage youll get privacy film (like a bathroom window) from a DIY shop far cheaper and itll let more light in

Aii lad, thought about buying them with privacy glass in them but I wanna be able to see out of them clearly...anyone ?

Hardly 'easy' to fit, otherwise why would anyone pay someone else to do it for them?

its hardly rocket science tbh

it requires the window properly cleaned
window sprayed with fairy liquid and water mix
tint placed over
air bubbled moved out with credit card of the likes
left to dry

on a garage window itd be a grand job
my gf's dad did it on the windows of my mates corsa and its sweet over a year on.

Defo not rocket science, infact its very simple, but getting a technique for it is more like than art.

I done the tints on the zr and To get it to a decent standard its hardly what I'd call easy took me and kylus atleast 4 attempts to get it perfect.

yea tim, on your car. this is a garage window im on about. obvioulsy its more tricky on a car, or companies would be able to change £400 for it to be done

i mean i doubt he'll care too much if theres a few bubbles in his garage window

just give it a bash yourself mate, garage window should be easier as its flat, compared to a car window which always has a slight bend in it!

Cheers guys, ive made it easy for myself, the double glazing units havent arrived yet so I can film them them cut it to size, then fit the units into the frames so it should be wee buns, i'll ask Burntcarcus to give me a hand, he's done it a few times (Subtle hint Andy lol).

Still looking somewhere to get the film tho, trying ebay now, I travel about quite a bit, so distance no object in N.I.

Thanks

postage is a bit steep, would I be better trying to source it locally ?

 

[rosssei]

think postage is ok, prob high as it will need to be well packaged!

i may have some lying around my house - see can i hoke it out and see is it any use matey
