Rolling large arched windows

jh812 · August 29, 2014

So i reverse rolled a large arched window yesterday 92(w)x42(h) well i should say aTtempted to. I rolled it tight with liner in. Maybe i did this wrong but i rolled side to side. I climb up on the scaffolding and attempt to unroll. Quickly realize that i have to unroll about half way to get the film to sit inside the window. Some how or another i managed to get the film on there but it wasn't what I'd call a successful reverse roll. Is really like to master this technique being i work alone most of the time. Thanks

Did a set of 75 x 135 trapezoid above sliders the same way, side to side, set the half unrolled tube on the frame and move the ladder to finish other half.

Takes se getting use to. I will rough cut them, roll it back up. Clean the window, and then umroll from side to side.

I do the same thing. When I do those I tape the top to frame so it has a better chance of staying.

Widest I've done was a 58" high x 12 footer over double double doors . What fun with people that don't understand why the barriers are there and go under the ladder.

Got tempted a couple of times to accidentally drop a scraper.

I have had good luck rolling bottom to top on arched windows. I always rough cut first. Most others 71"h x 120"w...most recently I roll side to side. Takes some getting used to and some films are easier than others.

if you have a handy adjacent wall, you can treat them like a car window, trim to size and use the wall as a peel board.

Had this happen to me recently as well Fox.

Up on ladders in a chemist shop, the brain dead morons were pushing aside the bollards and safety mesh barrier and wet floor signs I had set up as an exclusion zone to get to their favourite bottle of shampoo under the ladder I was working on.

I regard them as fair game for a blast with the Corny hose Fox, throwing an Olfa at 'em just seemed a little extreme at the time - but only because Olfas are expensive :lol

Reverse roll from the large side and it will get smaller as you go. Easy fit.

I try not to spray potential customers where possible... The customer's overly friendly cat however... That's fair game! [emoji48]
