Yes, the film is designed for glass surfaces, both flat and slightly inclined. However, it is important that the glass is clean and dry and that application takes place at an ambient temperature of at least about +15°C to allow the adhesive to activate properly. In sloping surfaces without adequate drainage, water may accumulate in the profile frame or on the glass itself, which may promote loosening over time. Therefore, in sloping or severe exterior conditions, it is recommended that the edges of the film be properly finished and the location visually inspected on a regular basis.

The Dusted Dryapply EL 200 film is suitable for both interior and exterior application. The outdoor lifespan is quoted up to approximately 7 years when installed vertically in a central European climate. However, as with all outdoor films, the actual service life depends on location, sun exposure, dirt, temperature changes and maintenance. In very extreme conditions (such as horizontally exposed roof glass or direct sun), performance may deteriorate sooner.

This film is specifically designed for dry-apply mounting, i.e. without the use of water or wet mounting. Dryapply technology with fine air channels allows fast mounting and easier elimination of air inclusions. For large glass surfaces, this offers a significant installation advantage. Of course, the substrate should be thoroughly cleaned beforehand and installation should be carried out under suitable temperature conditions.

The EL 200 is primarily intended as a glass decoration film with sandblast effect and was usually plotted or applied as such. The transmission of light is about 97%, which means that a lot of light passes through. For extensive printing or print applications, the 'PrintDusted Dryapply EL 200' or similar series may be more suitable, this film is specifically optimized for print and possibly mirror image mounting.

According to the product data, a standard sizing of 1.26 m wide (1260 mm) and roll length of up to 50 m is common. This makes the film particularly suitable for large glass surfaces or complete shop-fronts without interruption.

The film should be stored in sealed original packaging at room temperature (15-25 °C) and relative humidity around 50-60 %. For storage the standard conditions apply as mentioned: roll should be vertical or in special rack to avoid pressure points. Minimum storage period before use is about 3 years from production date. For processing: glass should be clean, dry, grease-free. Avoid installation in condensation or damp surface.

Yes, this film is certified to fire class DIN EN 13501-1 with Euroclass B-s1, d0. This makes the film suitable for application in public areas such as hotels, offices, banks or hospitals where fire safety standards apply.

With a light transmission of about 97%, the film retains much of the daylight, keeping the room bright and open. At the same time, the "dusted glass" effect provides sufficient diffusion and privacy: contours are visible, but details are blurred. This makes it suitable for storefronts, office spaces and consultation areas.

If the visual effect is more in the direction of classic sandblasted glass (etched surface) or if a printed or color accent is desired, the "Etched Dryapply EL 300" or "PrintDusted Dryapply DFL 200" may be a better fit. Instead, the EL 200 offers the neutral sandblast-look base image with high light transmission and uniform appearance.

Through Dimix, the client receives not only the film itself, but also expert advice on mounting, processing, substrate preparation and after-sales support. This reduces risks of mounting errors, increases the quality of the end result and ensures that the project is done tightly & professionally, a value beyond just the material.
