2Jane Adhesive Film FAQ's
Frequently Asked Questions
What size windows does the adhesive film cover?
The sheets are 37" x 52" with patterns that can be used horizontally or vertically to cover a window this same size or smaller. Multiple rolls of film can be used on windows or glass doors larger than 37" x 52" but seams between sheets might show. A professional wallpaper hanger should be able to achieve a seamless appearance.
If my window is smaller than the film how do I cut the film accurately?
The film features a grid on its backing paper to help in cutting straight lines.
Is the film only for use on windows?
We encourage using the backing paper grid to cut the film in fun decorative shapes and designs for use on windows or other household surfaces such as glass, mirrors, or acrylic surfaces. We recommend it for use on glass cabinet doors, glass tables, display shelves or cases, vases, or any smooth flat surface.
Can I use the film on walls?
No, we do not recommend using the adhesive window film on sheetrock or plaster walls as these surfaces often have bumps and grooves.
Is the film waterproof?
Yes, the adhesive film is waterproof and steam proof and looks great in kitchen and bath environments. We do not recommend installing it on the bottom of a bathtub, but it is commonly used on shower doors and bathroom windows.
Can I buy partial rolls of film?
No, the rolls are packaged as 37" x 52" sheets and can not be trimmed for individual purchases. However, if you have a special project in mind we can print a custom size. Price varies, as does printing time, so please contact sales@2jane with any inquiries.
Can I get a sample of the adhesive film?
Yes, we sell a set of 6, 4" x 8" sheets (approximate sizes), one of each design with application instructions and decorating ideas. You can purchase them here.
How do I apply the film?
1. Clean the window and make sure no cleaning liquid remains on the window.
2. Measure the window in several places (not all windows are perfectly square).
3. Use scissors to cut your film. Cut it slightly larger (about ¼") than the window.
4. Lay out the film face down on a flat, clean surface. Then carefully peel the backing paper off the film to expose the sticky side of the film.
5. Lightly spray the window as well as the sticky side of the film with water.
6. Place the film lightly on the window, the water will allow you to move and remove the film as you position it accurately it on the window.
7. Once the film is in place, use your hands to adhere the film to the window. Apply pressure in the middle and push outward.
8. We recommend also using a squeegee or credit card to press the film against the window as it squeezes out the water…Start in the middle and work your way toward the edges just as you did with your hands.
9. Wipe off the excess water on the film’s outside edges with a clean paper towel.
10. Use a craft knife or razor blade to neatly trim the edges of the film.
11. If bubbles are left in the film, pop them with a small pin and squeeze out the water/air through the pinhole using your finger. Please note, temporary foggy patches may appear as the moisture escapes the film. Allow 72 hours for drying.
12. Each sheet of adhesive film has the instructions printed on the backing paper.
How do I remove the adhesive film?
Simply peel back a corner and pull until the film comes off the window. If you have difficulty in peeling it off we suggest heating it with a blow dryer to loosen the adhesive.
Is there any residue when the film is removed?
No, there is no sticky residue from this product, if it is used on a smooth surface such as glass or acrylic.
Can I reuse the film?
No, the film stretches slightly during removal, so it is not reusable.
How do I clean the adhesive film?
We recommend a gentle soap and water cleaning. Do not use rough abrasives or rough sponges or brushes, as the printed pattern could be harmed by harsh abrasives.
Is the film see-through?
No, the film is slightly frosted, so it obscures figures but allows sunshine to filter through.
Is the full product line available online for purchase?
Yes, the 6 designs—Flowers & Lace, Moroccan, Orba, Pixel, Delphi, and Clover—in 37" x 52" sheets comprise the current North American collection.
Will there be more styles?
Yes, Emma Jeffs is always designing new creations in her London studio so please check back periodically to see the latest!
