MagicalBlinds Frequently Asked Questions
Are MagicalBlinds installed on the exterior glass of the window?
Yes. MagicalBlinds can ONLY be installed on the exterior side of the window glass. However, we do offer a Blockout and Frosted window film that can be installed on the interior side.
What is EdgeSeal tape?
An optically clear laminated tape UV rated, used to protect and secure the edges of Magical Blinds to the window glass. It is optional and recommended for RVs/motor homes ( things that travel).
Can't someone from the outside peel of MagicalBlinds? Will the wind, weather, and outside environment effect the edges and cause peeling?
We offer EdgeSeal as an additional option on checkout if this is a concern for you.
Magical Blinds are a Commercial Grade Product with a temperature range of -40F to 180F, they will not be affected by heat, cold, wind or weather.
Edge Seal Tape is an additional option which applies to the perimeter of the Magical Blinds edges, helping them stay secured to the glass surface. This increases the lifetime longevity of the product and secures the edges down to prevent peeling and unwanted removal from the outside environment.
