Squeegee | Extra pressure

Apply window film smoothly and evenly with a weighted squeegee (extra pressure)

A squeegee is an indispensable tool for applying window film correctly. Both the glass and the window film need to be moistened while you apply the film. Misting (using water and SCALASOL® TO-MOVE) is necessary to prevent the film sticking immediately to the glass. However, the moisture will create bubbles under the film. Those pockets of moisture can easily be smoothed out or brushed away with a weighted squeegee.

A weighted squeegee is specifically designed to apply more pressure when applying thicker or more rigid kinds of window film (>120 microns). Security film, insulating film and safety window film are among the kinds of window film thicker than 120 microns. A professional-grade, weighted squeegee is the perfect tool for applying those kinds of window film correctly – smoothly, in other words. The best way is to work from the centre to the edge of the window film, so the moisture can escape at the sides. We recommend wiping away the moisture that accumulates at the sides with a cloth or kitchen paper, so there is no risk of the moisture seeping back under the film again.

The practical advantages of a weighted squeegee

Here is a brief list of the advantages:
• Helps apply window film smoothly
• Helps apply additional pressure on thicker kinds of window film
• Rubs out pockets of moisture and air with ease
• Suitable for security film, insulating film and safety film
