WochiTV Total Blackout Window Film 100% Light Blocking Non Adhesive No Residue Removable Opaque Static Cling Privacy Glass Tint for Home Bedroom Darkening Heat Control (23.6 in x 6.56 Ft)

Ordered the blue tint for our sliding glass doors. There is enough to cover both sides with an inch or two excess on all sides. Installation was tricky and is best done with 2 persons. The hardest part was cutting to dimensions as you need a large flat surface and the protective plastic film on the reflective side is thick and wants to re-roll. (Ruler markings on the protective plastic side would have been helpful). The reflective side goes on the glass. We had to spray the glass with water, place the film in position while pulling off the protective film all at the same time. (Be liberal with the water). Use a wet squeegee or rag for bubbles. (Don't sweat the tiny bubbles!) The film can be removed anytime with no damage to the glass. The film adheres well, even at the corners. The blue tint has a cooling effect indoors. The reflective side provides privacy, protection against indirect radiant energy, and reduces glare. We love this product and the effort to install it was worth it.

So worth buying totally blackened my room

I got the silver in 5 rolls. I noticed on 2 of the rolls, they had an indentation, almost like a small cut but still usable. Easy to install once you get the hang of it. You need: TO CLEAN WINDOWS: - Windex - Scotch-Brite Non-Scratch Scrub Sponges - Shower Squeegee - Scraper with Double Edged Blade (optional) TO INSTALL - FOSHIO 1PCS Green Squeegee Scraper Shower - Spray bottle - Johnson's baby shampoo (JBS) - cutter - Metallic Ruler (optional) Make sure you clean the window properly. To wet the window and the tint, mix water and JBS. Just a very small amount of JBS where you would have very minimal bubbling. Too much will make it slippery and will be harder to install. I think one of the reason why some complain that they can't remove the bubbles is because of using the wrong tool and technique. Get a squeegee with a handle (see my recommendation) because with it, you get more leverage to squeeze out the moisture when installing. You should also wet the film from outside when using the squeegee because it helps the tool slide better. The tint material is thick. You can put a lot of pressure on the squeegee to squeeze the moisture out which is good if this is DIY project. Once installed, you might see some very small bubbles (like a dot) here and there. After a few days, they disappear. From a far, the tint looks great. If you inspect very closely and at a certain angle, you would see some sort of a streak or pattern on the tint (see pix on what you can see from the other side, some distortion). So it is not like a mirror finish. I would rate the quality 3 out 5. I guess at this price point, I can't complain. I gave it a 4 rating overall. 20200711 Video Added: Using squeegee to remove water between tint and glass. One I’m using I highly recommend.

After reading some of the review I was a little worried it wouldn’t lay down well or I wouldn’t be able to peel it apart. I’m so glad I bought some and tried it anyways! I’m a 27yr old girl and I was able to cut and tint each glass pane for our sunroom with ease (please look closely how many panes I had to do - this was no small project! Haha) It feels so nice,cozy, and private in there now. The product is thick and good quality. The instructions that came with it weren’t the best they say to peel it apart twice but you only do that once. All I did was watch a simple YouTube video once and was able to get it done with just a razor blade(exacto knife would be better) and a credit card wrapped in a wet paper towel. No it will not look like a perfect mirror because it is not a glass mirror but it looks really nice and really upgrades the look of our house from the outside. No it is not going to “stick” down necessarily because it is not an adhesive but as long as you don’t bend the product it lays down just as good as the sticky kind. I’m also glad that it won’t damage the glass in any way. One pain I messed up accidentally and was able to peel it off and redo it easily which I really love.

I've installed window film on three rooms so far in my home. I have to say that this product is one of the worse products I've had the displeasure of installing. The instructions are bare but there are youtube videos online and it's fairly obvious what you have to do. However, there's no clear marking on which side is the window side and which side is the room side, Minor annoyance 1. There's a transparent cover that covers the window side of the film that's easy to take off. However, the cover on the other side is almost impossible to take off and makes the entire process of putting the film on the window a challenge in itself, Major annoyance 1. Finally when you're ready to put the film on the window and have sprayed the film and window with your soapy water. You'll put the film on the window and it will need to be adjusted. However and maybe a positive to this film, it sticks to the window and will not adjust easily. So you'll have to constantly take it off and reapply it until you're squared or you've given up and decide to cut off excess, Minor annoyance 2. So once you've attached the film and adjusted it to your liking, you'll squeegee the film to remove air bubbles and water. Easy enough, than you'll remove the back cover which doesn't want to come off and you'll waste your time since it will inevitably peel the film off the window once again, Major annoyance 2. Once that is off, it's time to trim the film to the window frame. NEVER have I ran into a film that will not cut like this film. I've done three rooms with this one being my 3rd. I've used a different product for my other two rooms and this film is by far the worse to cut through. Every cut either drags the blade leaving pocks and bumps in the film or it goes through and leaves cracks in the film. I couldn't even explain why that happens. So what is left is a badly trimmed film that has gashes and bumps around the side of the window frame. This is by far the most egregious annoyance and why this product cannot be more than 3 stars to me. The only positive thing I can say about this product is that it works stupendously and provides the privacy and shade that is written on the product page. I can feel the difference from before and after I've installed this product. tl;dr - This product works great, but is one of the worse films to install.

3 month Update... A) By the end of the first 3 weeks, the film has started to peel back significantly from each of the windows. After reapplying in places where it peeled back, product continued to pull away from window. B) At the end of the 1st month the product from all my windows fell completely off. C) Once again I reapplied product, this time using a blow dryer on cool and then on mild heat settings to try to seal product to window. End result was the same, product peeled back over time. D) Lastly, I purchased double sided 3M window tape to outline the whole window frame prior to reapplying product to window. This time I did not use any liquid as it would have diminished the tackiness of the double sided tape. It turned out "just okay". Not as professional looking as manufacturer originally intended as there was no way to avoid any type of air pockets and it did not provide a smooth look. CONCLUSION: This product is way to thick to remain adhered to window by "cling" alone. It needs to have one side fully tacky, like contact paper, in order to look professional and bonded to window. As a result, there are other products out there that have the "stickiness" on one side which makes them successful over time. Until this product is corrected, I no longer recommend this product. Prior to the end of the 3 weeks, I purchased 2 more giant rolls to complete all the windows in my house. And with the missing the return window, I am stuck with a very inferior product. Again, I do not recommend this product. Consumers...look for a window application that has one side tacky like contact paper. DO NOT RELY ON CLING ALONE! --------- Original headline: "Application helpful tips!" Great product, does as claimed. As a 1st time user of this item here is what I have learned. You will need scissors & Exato Knife, tape measurer, yard stick, gentle window cleaner, water bottle, microfiber towel, squeegee (dollar store kind just fine), sharpee marker. 1) Tape measure window. 2) using permanent marker, mark & draw a cutting line with yard stick on the thick plastic backing of the window cling. Cut to measure. 3) Clean window with cleaner & microfiber cloth. Microfiber cloth will not leave streak and removes lint. 4) Now gently pull off the thick clear plastic from the cling, discard plastic. 5) Mist window & cling with a mild window spray or water.. I used a homemade window cleaner solution. 6) apply to clean window. Use squeegee to remove air bubbles, and excess moisture. Use microfiber cloth to soak up liquid dripping from applied cling. At this time use exacto knife to trim excess cling from window. 7) Re apply mist to window and re-squeegee as needed to promote a good adhesion. Key learning. Once cling applied I found that the corners would start to unpeeled. I suspect this is because the product has been rolled up and packaged like a poster. Consider cutting pieces days in advance and put something heavy on corners to encourage product time to stretch out.. thus reducing chance of corners pulling back from windows once applied.

This works very well. From the outside all they see is a mirror. NOTE: at night if your lights are on, it losses its mirror effect and you can see in (never found one that didn't). EASY EASY to install. You do not need all that extra stuff to install. I installed it by myself. To clean the glass: I used a solution of 1/4 cup vinegar and 1 cup water in a spray bottle and paper towels or newspaper to wipe clean. Do NOT use ammonia based cleaners. For the "Application solution" I used a spray bottle with soapy water. (about 1 tsp dish soap to 1 cup water and shake well). Tip: Measure the glass in the window, measure and measure again before cutting the film. Add 1/4-1/2 inch overlap at bottom and side. Use a razor blade to cut off any excess after set in place. Tip: This is a vinyl film. No adhesive needed. It static sticks and you can easily unpeel and reapply to line it up just right. I suggest peeling the backing about 1/4 down from the top. With both hands line up starting a one top corner and top edge and work your way downward. The soapy water allows it to stick yet slide a little as needed. I worked the bubbles out with my hand. Definitely recommend.

I don't think the "privacy" aspect of this film is very useful. The only time it works is during the day, when outside is much brighter than inside, and under those conditions you can't see inside a house anyway (try it!) BUT that doesn't mean it's useless; it's second function, cutting out IR and UV, works really well. If you live in a sunny state you probably know that if your garage has glass windows, then it turns into a furnace during the day, with the greenhouse effect ensuring that it can get 10 to 15 degrees hotter than outside. My experience is that with this film applied to the garage windows it only gets the same temperature as outside. So, OK, it can't work magic -- but keeping the garage 10 to 15 degrees cooler than it would otherwise be ain't nothing! For a mere twenty dollars or so, that is, IMHO money well spent! Some hints for easy application: Get film slightly wider than your window panes. Make sure you have all the tools necessary and right on hand (a squeeze bottle of water, a squeegee, a credit card, a boxcutter). Don't try to cut the film to the right size with scissors; rather get it up onto the window (if necessary tape up a corner or two where the edge part extends past the window pane). Squeegee flat, then flatten the last few bumps with the credit card. Then cut off the excess by going around the window pane edge with the boxcutter. Make sure your boxcutter blade is new and sharp -- an old blade WILL skip and not cut the film nicely. With a box cutter it's fairly easy to trim the edges and create a job that looks reasonably good! My first attempt I tried using scissors to cut the film to the window size and that worked much less well.

The product works without any adhesive, which is fantastic, cleaning the surface well will help and most importantly: since it comes rolled up, you first need to do some "unrolling" to flatten then sheen, otherwise the sheet will bed away from the glass and end up falling due to gravity. In my case 99% of the sheet adhered to the glass perfectly, and for the flaring edges I aplied a small tape to secure them

It takes some practice to apply to the windows especially large ones but totally doable. We have add it to all our west facing windows to reduce the afternoon glare. It stays in place securely and does a very good job keeping the strong light out while letting us look outside. Like other similar products, it turns into a mirror in the night so you can not see outside but people outside can see you. Priced in line with similar products.

So it has definitely kept the morning sun out of 1 room, but it looks pretty lousy with bubbles - I think these are unavoidable. Its easy to fit once you cut it. Instructions are fairly idiot proof .

Found this easy to apply but keeping it free from airborne particles before getting it on difficult no matter how careful one is...

Expensive not controlling heat sun light
