2in1: Order blackout film & sun protection film made to measure.
This silver deep-dark mirrored blackout film for outdoor installation, also called block-out film, is black on the inside and silver mirrored on the outside.
Incident light is reduced by more than 99%! This makes it very dark in the room when the window is the only source of natural light. As one of the most effective sun protection films against heat, the sun's rays are rejected by 99%! In addition, the film offers an enormously high UV protection of over 99% and a glare reduction of 100%.
The super sun protection properties reduce the heating of the rooms, the room climate becomes more pleasant, the energy costs for the air conditioning are reduced, the fading of furniture and carpets is greatly reduced and the room is almost completely darkened. This film is always used when a permanent darkening of the room is desired or when, for example, triangular windows in bedrooms cannot be darkened with roller shutters.
This blackout film is ideally suited for skylights!
The scratch-resistant surface of the blackout film makes it easy to clean with standard glass cleaners. It is dirt-repellent and easy to clean.
Included in delivery
You should definitely order the transfer concentrate, art. no. 020010 additionally. It makes the installation easier and leads to a better result. Alternatively, you can also use a pH-neutral cleaner. This must be pH-neutral to prevent streaks from forming together with the film adhesive!Any offcuts are not included in the scope of delivery.
Manufacturer's guarantee
The manufacturer grants a guarantee of 3 years on this sun protection film when installed vertically and 2 years on sloped glazing (roof windows) from a roof slope of 25°. In the case of sloped glazing (skylights), the edges of the film must be sealed all around. This guarantee refers to flaking, yellowing and demetallisation of the film.
Durability
The durability of films for exterior installation is 4 to 6 years in Central Europe, depending on various factors.
This information only applies to films sealed on the outside for outdoor installation.

Mounting recommendation
Based on technical data and extensive experience, we can recommend mounting on the following vertically installed glass types:
| Glass type | Number of panes | mainly installed | U-value W/(m²K) | Exterior installation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Single glazing | 1 (-fold) | until 1978 | 5,7 - 5,8 | yes |
| Double glazing | 2 (-fold) 2 (-fold) 3 (-fold) |
1978 - 1994 1995 - Today 1978 - 1994 |
3.0 - 3.4 1.2 - 2.5 2.1 - 2.4 |
yes yes yes |
| Thermal insulation glazing | 2 (-fold) 3 (-fold) |
1978 - 1994 1995 - Today |
1.7 - 2.1 0.4 - 1.4 |
yes yes |
| Solar control glazing | 2 (-fold) 2 (-fold) 3 (-fold) |
1978 - 1994 1995 - Today 1995 - Today |
1.4 - 2.0 1.0 - 2.5 0.5 - 1.3 |
yes yes yes |
To avoid glass breakage, the entire pane must always be coated with this film; partial coatings are not permitted.
These recommendations may still result in glass breakage due to various factors at the installation site. According to our AGB, §10 paragraph 3 we do not accept any liability for this.
Assembly instructions for blackout foils (self-adhesive)
You will need the following items
- Plastic bottle with hand sprayer, adhesive tape, paper towels (not included)
- Transfer concentrate (not included)
- Glass cleaner (not included) or commercially available glass cleaner
- Installation squeegee and glass scraper blade (included free of charge in the delivery).
Installation tips
- Two people should carry out the installation!
- Do not install any film at temperatures on the installation side below +6° C.
- Fill the spray bottle with 0.5 litres of water and add the transfer concentrate (30 ml) (enough for approx. 6 to 7 m² of glass surface).
-
Thoroughly clean the glass with commercial or our glass cleaner!
Remove all sticky particles (e.g. paint or fly dirt) preferably with the glass scraper blade. No dirt residues should remain on the glass! - The sandblasting foil consists of the mostly white backing paper and the actual sandblasting foil.
Now place the sandblasting foil with the view side down on the glass pane or similar. You are now looking at the back of the film.
Then carefully and slowly peel off the backing paper at as shallow an angle as possible until it is about halfway along the entire length of the film. Cut the backing paper and stick it back onto the sandblasting film with a gap of about 2 cm to the remaining backing paper. - Now hold the Blackout film in place while the 2nd person
starting from the corner, and at the same time spray the adhesive side of the Blackout film that is now exposed with the liquid.
Afterwards, the glass pane (surface to be pasted) must be sprayed with the liquid. Do not be sparing with the liquid, the film and pane should be well wet. - Place the Blackout film on the glass, the film should slide back and forth well, otherwise spray the glass again.
- Now spray the other side of the Blackout film as well, this will make it easier for you to work with the mounting squeegee.
- Now press the liquid out evenly with the mounting squeegee from the centre to the right and to the left. Make sure that there is no residual water left under the film! Repeat this procedure several times to remove even invisible water residues. When doing this, wrap the supplied squeegee with a paper towel to avoid any scratches.
- Carefully wipe the edges and the foil with a soft cloth. If necessary, press the edges again with the mounting squeegee.
- Now let the Blackout film dry for three days without touching it.
- Wait two weeks before cleaning the film for the first time and never use hard objects (brush or blade) to clean it. Commercially available glass cleaners can be used.
FAQ`s about the installation
Can I carry out the film installation alone?
For larger pieces, it is recommended that two people carry out the installation. This makes it easier to handle the film and place it on the pane.
How can I avoid dust inclusions under the adhesive back side?
In addition, do not lay the Blackout film after peeling off (covers the adhesive side for transport) on the floor to get it wet. Rather, pull a table nearby to spray the film on. On the floor you will always stir up very fine dust particles, which will then settle on the adhesive side facing upwards. These dust particles can later show up on the pane under the Blackout film, which is something to avoid.
Can I apply the Blackout film without transfer concentrate?
We strongly advise against the use of water diluted with detergent. This can lead to streaking due to a reaction with the film adhesive.
Does the film have to be applied perfectly to the glass at the first attempt?
After mounting, small bubbles formed the next day
In any case, you should wait this time and do nothing. In most cases, the blisters disappear all by themselves!
How easy is it to remove the film?
It is possible that residues of the film adhesive remain in some places. These can be soaked with our adhesive remover or acetone and then removed again with a glass scraper or ceramic field scraper. You will find detailed instructions on how to remove window films on our homepage in the FAQ`s.
