Window Film Installation & UV Protection

Ghadames
9 years ago

I installed a window film (Window Film 99% UV Protection Fade Control Clear Ceramic) on windows.

I did it in an "unprofessional" manner, which means I didn't follow the instructions that are usually suggested for installing window films. I simply scotch taped it on the window, which is good enough for me! I didn't use a spray bottle, detergent, etc. I am using it for protection against UVB and UVA rays.

Is it still providing protection? Does the film absolutely need to stick on the window in order to provide protection, or does it filter out all the rays by itself?

Also, how long is the window film good for. Does it have to be replaced after a certain period of time?
