Sharing some of my DIY tasks, as it seemed for the past weeks i have been sharing ID contacts.

Previously or few months back, i was looking around and searching for various windows film contractors to give a quote for my flat. In the end, i was quoted about average of $300++ for the 3 rooms. But since i have too much free time on my hands, i decide to diy myself.

My first attempt, there are alot of imperfections in my first attempt. From the applying , pasting and cutting processes, end up with wastage of some loose pieces of window films which are odd size or too small to be use again. the imperfection could be seen by enlarging the picture, i would probably redo this again when i am bought.

My 2nd attempt and subsequent attempt was much better, as i fine-tune and improvise with some diy "tools", resulting in a much smoother cut and application of the film in the process.

The whole diy window film for my flat, cost about $70. (Windows film cost about $50, the rest of the costs are for the materials for cleaning the windows, but in the end i realize, it is actually not required after some fine-tune in my process.)The tools are just good to have, so it would probably cost less than $50 to diy windows film on your own which i believe should be the cost price of windows film contractors.

To those who attempt to DIY,

1)please dun fix your windows grilles first, apply the first film before you get contractors to install grilles, if not you will have a harder time installing and cutting it due to the frame of the grilles.

2)please clean your windows inner side thoroughly before you apply and ensure that you have patience and time for it.

Pro of DIY film

1)More design,materials and pattern to choose from

2)Definitely much cheaper, cost about less than a fraction of what i was quoted.

3)Feel proud to see my own handiwork

4)Self-customization

Cons

1)Time consuming

2)Need to clean your windows and own mess afterwards.

:bangwall: After completing the of my film, One fine day, when i was at AMK Central, i notice that the shops there are selling windows film at about $2 per box. , which is much cheaper. Although i am not sure about the quality and design.
