Update A Glass Storm Door With Teal Window Film

Clean your glass storm door thoroughly with a microfiber towel and a mixture of 1 teaspoon baby shampoo and 1 gallon bottled water. It’s important that you use no-tears baby shampoo and bottled water to provide the correct pH level for this project. Never use any cleaner containing vinegar or ammonia to clean the film or glass, as this could damage the product.

Use measuring tape to measure the dimensions of your storm door, adding an extra inch on both the height and width measurements. Unroll the window film on a flat surface, and mark your measurements with a marker. Cut the film to size using a pair of scissors.

Remove the storm door from the frame, and lay it flat on the ground or on a sawhorse stand. Spray the inside of the storm door (this will be the side you lay the film on) liberally with the same solution you used to clean the glass. Keep your hands moistened with the solution to prevent leaving fingerprints on the film.

Carefully peel off the plastic backing paper of the window film, and spray the exposed sticky side of the film with solution. TIP: You can lightly spray your hands to keep them from sticking to the film, too.

Starting at the top, place the adhesive side of the film on the glass and work your way down the window. Position the film so that it’s centered on the glass and spray it with the solution. Squeegee any bubbles to within two inches of the edge of the window. Keep the surface of the film wet with the solution so the squeegee will pull across it easily.

Respray the surface of the film and squeegee out any bubbles. Any remaining bubbles that form will be able to escape between the film and the edge of your storm door or window.
