I. Failure to make a neat cleaning of the window before initiating the project. It is a wise decision to apply the security window film only after making sure that the window is clean and essentially spotless. Inability to do so will lead to a window that cannot be cleaned at all unless the film is entirely removed. If that is not enough, the film might not be able to stick to the dirty glass for a an extended period of time and this will greatly reduce its effectiveness.

II. Cleaning window glass with alcohol or other chemicals. Most of the professional film installers know for sure that all windows are required to get cleaned by using hot water or mild liquid soap  before film installation. Application of alcohol or any other chemical may leave a residue on the glass surfaces, making it difficult for the film to adhere to it.

III. Failing to eliminate air bubbles and water contents. Generally, a security film is applied on a wet window and the next step is to squeeze it to remove water and air bubbles under it (if any). If this is not properly done, the film might find it difficult to stick to the window.
