We recently opened a small coffee shop on the first floor with large panoramic windows, but after noon, the sun shines directly inside, making it hot for customers and causing the equipment on the tables to overheat. We want to solve this ourselves by applying a special film to lower the temperature. Is it realistic for a beginner to apply this self-adhesive film evenly to large windows without creating bubbles? And could you advise us on which film is best to choose to reduce glare and preserve the facade’s attractive appearance?

Oh, what a familiar situation - in places with lots of glass, this is a constant problem in the summer. Applying the film doesnt require any special skills at all: just take some regular soapy water, spray it generously on the glass before applying, and the film will slide around easily until you smooth it out with a squeegee from the center to the edges. You can find good options on diy window tint; they have a handy filter by purpose and detailed information on how much heat each option blocks. The main thing is to thoroughly clean the window frames of dust so nothing gets trapped under the film. By the way, do your windows face the sunny side all day long, or just for a few hours?
