Cheap upgrades still need clean prep
Sticky back plastic and window film can improve tired surfaces or privacy, but dust, bubbles and rushed trimming show quickly.
Good uses
- Temporary worktop or cabinet refreshes.
- Drawer fronts or shelves.
- Privacy film for overlooked windows.
- Decorative film where blinds would be awkward.
Method
Clean thoroughly, measure with spare material, apply slowly with a squeegee, and use a sharp blade for trimming.
