How to Apply IROMIZU Directly to a Glass Surface

Application Tips

◉ Use installation solution

  • Mix the window film application solution into the soapy water.
  • This improves initial adhesion and helps water drain away.

◉ Install with the protective film still on

  • IROMIZU comes with a protective film on the product surface.
  • To prevent scratches during pressing, be sure to install the film with the protective film still in place.
  • We’ll explain how to fix it if the protective film lifts during the latter stages.

◉Work with two people

  • We recommend working with two people for large areas.
  • This helps prevent wrinkles and creases in the sheet.

① Tools & Preparation

  • In addition to a squeegee and a utility knife, prepare a dedicated application solution.
  • Mix an appropriate amount of the application solution into soapy water.

② Cleaning

Clean the glass surface to remove dirt and dust.

③ How to Peel the Separator

1. When peeling on the glass surface

  • Place the protective film face down while it is still attached.
  • To prevent static electricity, spray water on your fingers and the separator.
  • Peel back the separator while spraying the adhesive side.

2. Peeling in the Air (When Glass Cannot Be Used)

  • One person holds the sheet while another peels back the release liner.
  • Be careful not to let the bottom touch the floor.
  • Finally, be careful not to let the sheets stick together.

④ Place the sheet

  • Spray the adhesive side and the glass surface thoroughly.
  • Position the sheet carefully, avoiding wrinkles or creases.
  • If the protective film lifts, be sure to correct it before pressing it down.

⑤ Pressing

  • Start pressing from the top
    • starting from about two-thirds of the way up and working toward the top.
    • Applying the top section first prevents water from seeping down.
  • Use a rubber squeegee to press from side to side, then press upward.
  • Spray water on the surface to improve glide.

⑥ Cutting

  • Top cut: Trim off the excess (to prevent dust from entering the window frame).
  • Bottom cut: Leave a 2–3 mm gap to avoid overlapping the caulking.
  • Side cuts: Use a presser to hold the material down while cutting with a utility knife to prevent lifting.

⑦ Finishing

  • Re-press the top, bottom, left, and right edges.
  • Wrap the pressure tool with paper towels and press while wiping away moisture.

⑧ Peel off the protective film

  • Once the pressing is complete, peel off the protective film.
  • In winter, adhesion may be poor, so allow some time to pass.

* Notes after installation

  • Fogging or cloudiness may appear immediately after installation.
  • This will resolve naturally as the moisture evaporates.

* How to fix a lifted protective film

  1. Peel back the protective film in the lifted area.
  2. Peel back the film slightly, then smooth it out evenly from the center toward the edges.
  3. Reapply the protective film and smooth it out evenly in the same manner.
  4. Using a rubber squeegee, press it down from the center outward, taking care to avoid creating wrinkles.
  5. Finally, finish the top, bottom, left, and right edges as usual.
