Transparent plastic 0.50 mm, 183 cm wide range

Product description

Transparent Film - Truly as Clear as Glass. Extra Thick.

Transparent plastic film / window film. UV-resistant for caravan awnings, tents, windbreaks, boats, boat covers, etc.
Also very suitable for veranda screening. We also offer this transparent film in a width of 140 cm.

This transparent plastic film 0.50 mm stands out not only for its strength and durability but also for its truly GLASS-clear properties.

Important: To facilitate processing in the context of transporting the material, we recommend spraying the film with silicone spray. If you wish to handle the material more easily (with a light household sewing machine), take the 0.40 film and also use silicone spray to ease the needle.

Compare these technical values with another transparent film!

The technical properties of our transparent PVC film are unmatched. Therefore, we can confidently state that you will not easily find this elsewhere. In any case, they are worth comparing—especially with regard to UV resistance—when comparing with other suppliers of this film!

FIRST PROCESSING of the Film and AVOIDING SHRINKAGE

24 Hours Laying Flat
Transparent window film may still stretch or shrink slightly. If there is a large amount of film to be stretched, shrinkage can be an issue with fluctuating temperatures. If the tarpaulin stays tensioned throughout the year, it will keep its length and you will notice little shrinkage.
Upon receipt: When you receive our window film, the material has just come off the roll. Let it "acclimatize" for 24 hours to allow the film to adjust to shrinkage or temperature changes. Also, don't forget to use our double-sided tape to precisely position the film on the fabric/tarp. See the confection videos below.

After Extended Use: If the material has been rolled up for a long time, the film may shrink slightly with temperature changes and will need to be stretched again. This should not be done by forcing the material back to its original tension. Solution: Keep the material taut so that it has no chance to shrink. Do not leave it rolled up all summer. If this is not possible and winter storage is involved, do the following: Ensure the material is hung out in a warm room for 24 hours to make the film flexible. Then slowly stretch the material, giving it time to expand.
Another practical solution: Use a heater in a closed room to make the transparent film flexible, and then slowly tension the film.
