Excellent product. Easy to use. 2nd purchase.
Very pleased with this product. Bought for conservatory to block off bin area. Looks pretty when sun reflecting off of nearby foliage. Easy to apply. Let’s the light through but a good screen.
Bought for the privacy and hadn't considered the cooling! Last summer, 20 degrees C outside meant far too hot in south facing living room. This year 28 degrees outside and the same room is perfectly liveable, and that's with only bottom half of the window covered. I would say a good 8-10 deg C difference. So good that I've bought more, for other rooms in the house and my car. The privacy part is not quite as good as I'd hoped but there's a compromise between 'privacy reflection' and 'living in the dark even at midday'. Obviously with a lit room and dark outside one can still see through from outside, so don't get too complacent with regard to lack of clothing. Wish there were some other colours. Image shows a fair comparison of top half with no film, lower half with film in terms of seeing out of a window. Some darkening but fine for summer. Will need to remove in winter to get more light though. Shame it can't easily be stored. Honestly will save cost of cooling house and offset against that and eco cost of running aircon... against wasting plastic film... how green are you feeling?
Easy installation, no creasing, and bubble free, perfect light, looks good.
Was dreading tussling with this, as had used a similar static-cling frosted film before, which was thin and kept sticking to itself, and was a mass of air bubbles nomatter what. However, my new rental flat has dodgy blinds and I need as close to perfect darkness as possible to sleep, so needs must.I armed myself with hot water in a spray bottle, a craft knife and a full-sized shower squeegee (this helped hugely compared to trying to use a little credit card sized thing so advise investing in one at the pound shop). I had nobody to help, but my windows aren’t huge and I managed just fine.Soaked the whole window with water first and peeled down the first few inches of the backing before positioning film on the window (shiny side goes to the window!). This film is really good and thick and stayed put well. I squeegeed down as I continued removing the backing. It was done in no time, and no bubbles! Now I did make the error of over-trimming on my first window. Because of how the double glazing unit is, light was getting in the edges. It’s better to leave larger and persuade the film to bend into the edges. As it’s super thick it takes a little coaxing. You can nick the corners with a craft knife to help. Where I had over trimmed at the bottom I just added some black electrical tape once the water had dried, and that has worked fine. I did initially take it off and re position to centralise a bit more, and again that wasn’t difficult.It’s been up a week now and shows no signs of peeling. However, having peeled off to re position I’m confident it will come off easily and leave no trace once I move out. There is no glue, just works with static. Everywhere the film is, it is totally light-proof even with bright sunshine right outside. Absolutely perfect. Suggest leaving around 1cm/1.5cm extra all round the edges compared to your window measurement, so it’s not too unmanageably large to work with, but you have some to bend into the window frame and a bit of contingency if you’re not quite centralised. A strip of black electrical tape down any edge that you mess up will complete the job. I’m so happy with results and really wish I had discovered this before in my life! Blackout curtains and blinds have always only worked so well and ‘leaked’ round the edges. This stuff is cheap and perfect!
