Window Pack for DIY Window Tinting

Most domestic windows are within certain common sizes, just choose the pack that fits your window measurements. Follow the measuring instructions below (steps 1 - 5), then choose which window packs meet your requirements, choose the film and then purchase your required film packs online.

Measurement

1. Using a sheet of paper, do a rough sketch of the window layout as in example diagram (item 4 - example is in Imperial, but the method is same for Metric) .

2. Measure each pane of glass (only the glass area, do not include the window frame) and write the figure down next to the top, side or bottom that was measured. Do not use fractions, use the next whole number and this will insure that the piece of film you cut is not too small for the window. (I always add 1 inch or 25mm to the measurement to allow that little extra room for correct trimming to size).

3. Label each pane of glass on your diagram with a letter of the alphabet (see item 4), this will help you work out how much film you need to purchase. Keep a copy of the diagram, as it will be helpful when installing the film.

4. Windowpane sketch.

5. Next you will need to decide which type of film you want to install on the window or windows. Visit the webpage http://www.aussietint.com/films.htm and read the specifications on each of the films available and decide which film/s will be the most suitable for your needs. Write the film code next to the windowpane on the sketch. You can have different films on windows that receive different amounts of sun. Keep in mind that it is best not to install dark films on windows that only get winter sun, and to use stronger heat control films on windows that get the full summer sun. Use hi-performance films if you wish to retain good light levels with reasonable heat control (Note - any laminated glass panes should be restricted to lighter grades of film to minimise the risk of 'thermal stress cracks').

Now that you have measured your windows, just choose which window packs suit your requirements from those below, next choose the film, then order online - easy.
