I stay on the first floor of a complex, but enjoy natural light so I brought some tint for privacy. This tint does provide privacy but also limits the amount of light on the inside like a cheap tint job. I ended up only putting it on two windows because of how limited the light was. The adhesive is great, a year later and mine are still up. The pack only came with enough for me to complete one window, so I would say not really worth my money.

Yeah, applied as directed, went on smooth with no bubbles. then 2 days later.. lots of bubbles of different sizes all over the place.

I must say the quality of this tint was excellent.And the price was even better.Don’t hesitate to buy an extra roll if you’re not sure how much you need.Good for bright lights without dimmers.

Update — I did all of the windows on the porch, and the ambient temperature dropped significantly. I have one of those temperature infra-red tools and aimed it at windows on another part of our place that was getting the same sun at the same time as these windows. The temperature of the glass in the evening western sun was 124 degrees (just sitting there baking and all of that heat was transferring inside), and that part of the building is really hot inside. I then aimed the reader at the windows with the film, and the glass was reading only 92 degrees. (Keep in mind that the film is on the inside of the glass, so the sun is still heating up the glass, but that heat is reflecting back out, so the inside of the glass was only 92 degrees.)This means there's about a 30 degree difference between the two areas, and the only difference is one set of windows has this film on them and the other set doesn't.What that has meant is that I'm running the a/c a *lot* less and it's actually getting too cold in there sometimes… in July… in New Orleans. So this film has really impressed me.I like that my neighbors can't see in during the day, also. There is some visibility at night from outside, but that's marked clearly on the packaging.Read further for the original review and tips.We have French doors in our sunroom / dining / living area here in New Orleans, and it was like an oven. The (big) mini-split wasn't even keeping up, and it was miserable. We are not able to change the windows due to historic requirements, and I didn't want to have to close the curtains all day and miss out on the view. But the sun was baking my plants (not to mention us).This film really freaking works. I tested it out on the side that gets full western sun first—it's blazing hot there, and the drop in temperature was significant. I'm adding the film to the rest of the room and now the A/C isn't having to kill itself—it's staying comfortable, even before I finish the rest. (The long wall gets morning sun, which is also an issue. I feel like the room will be very comfortable once it's all done.)TIPS: I struggled a little bit at first getting the film to lay flat, but the instructions literally say, "more water, more better" (lol), and honestly, that's true.When you clean the panes, make sure you dry them really well before adding the water and film, because if there's window cleaning product still on there, you may get bubbles.While the seller does include a little (decent) utility knife and water spritzer with each bottle, if you're like me and doing a bunch of windows, make your life easier and use a larger spray bottle and really good utility knife—the install went smoother / faster when I switched to better tools. I think if you're just doing a couple of panes, then what they include would be fine.I didn't like the little plastic squeegee sticks they included, mostly because they're skinny and harder to hold. I purchased a cheap decoupage squeegee from Amazon (I think it was maybe $4 for two) and it has a nice pad on the grip and is much much easier to use. Again, if you're only doing a couple of windows, then what they include may be enough.If you get bubbles, it's easy to lift the film, re-spray the water and then lay it back down. I found that (so far), it's clung really well. Sometimes I'll have issues on the very edges (not sure why), but a quick partial lift of the film, more water, and then it goes back down easily.The only thing I dislike about it is kinda silly — there's a clear film that you pull off before you install. (It doesn't affect the film's ability to cling—I think it's just there for protection until you're ready to install, maybe?) There's a tab at the top of the roll to separate that clear protective layer (and it's easy to pull off), but once you've cut the film into panels like I had to do, each next "panel" didn't have a tab (of course) and getting that film to separate from the clear cover was kinda a pain. (Like opening medicine tablet covers that just.do.not.want.to.seperate.) Lol, not a bad thing, and there's probably a simple fix I'm overlooking, but for all of the positive, I didn't think this one negative was enough to ding it in the rating.In my photos, the long wall shows you the color on the right as the "before" and then color on the left as the "after" so you can see how much the film tints your view. I like it—real life looks better than the photo does. (I'm working left to right in the room, hence the order you see in the first photo.) The second photo was taken with the western sun beaming in, after the film was installed.Hope this helps.

We bought this foil for our gazebo, which has transparent roof panels and becomes a greenhouse as soon as the sun is out. We opted for this reflective tinted foil to get rid of as much of the incoming sunlight as possible without making the gazebo too dark. It works perfectly and makes a huge difference for the temperature under the gazebo - it's actually usable now and doesn't feel like we're being roasted alive! As with all foils of this kind the installation is a matter of practice, you get better after a few attempts, but overall it's not too complicated. We recommend using a larger spray bottle and squeegee than the ones provided, that'll make the process a lot easier.

Easy to install. Came with cutting tool, tiny squirt bottle for water, and tiny tool for pushing out the bubbles so that was great. Easy to see through so didn't obstruct view. Color seemed to match what online showed. Helps to block the worst of the glare. Not too expensive either. Seems to be holding so far. Went on very easily, actual better than I expected.

This privacy window film is exactly what I needed! It was easy to install and provides excellent privacy during the day while still letting in natural light. From the outside, it has a sleek mirrored effect, but from the inside, I can see out perfectly. It’s a great way to improve privacy without blocking the view or having to use heavy curtains. The adhesive is strong, and the film stays in place well. Can be easily removed and functions well be reused. Definitely worth it if you’re looking for an affordable and effective privacy solution.

This window film was very easy to install. Is removable, if not lined up correctly, and after 6 months, I have had ZERO peeling or curling from edges. I definitely recommend this specific product. As for customer service, I had originally bought 1 roll during a 50% off sale. After trying it and loving it, I wanted to order more, but they were no longer running the sale. I contacted them and they were willing to offer me a code for my next order! Who does that?? Top notch customer service! I have recommended this brand, from this seller, to family and friends.Note- I ordered the black/silver. Definitely reduces sun/heat coming in. Reflective outside was just right. Glossy enough to prevent seeing in during the day, but not too reflective, like straight mirrors. House looks nice from road with all windows done. Took some getting used to inside, as rooms are obviously a little darker and always looks like 'it might rain' outside, lol.Overall, VERY happy with this purchase.

now I have to order the tools and wait more time to install. Perfect. NOT
