Kromapolis Privacy Window Film, Stained Glass Decorative, 23.6″ x 78.7″

This is the way!! Wanted window tint to help cut down on the heat and electricity costs here in sunny Florida. I purchased 3 different brands to cover the amount I would need along with the opportunity to compare those 3 brands. My decision to purchase 1 single roll (17.5x 78.7/Black-Silver) of this brand was due to the included tools. Whats remarkable is this was the best brand among all 3. All brands cost about the same but the other 2 brands came with no tools. This film is noticeably thicker and much easier to separate and apply. The reflective properties also appeared superior over the 2 other brands I purchased. I also had less challenges with the curl of the roll translating. Once I removed the protective sheet, the film became universally pliable. I did notice that at night , if the inside lights are on, the inside is easily visible from the outside. Thats not a gripe but important for some to know its not really 2 way at night. For me the night time 2 way visibility is a plus. For added privacy, I can always pull my curtains closed at night. When the installation was done was it perfect? No! It rarely ever is!! I have a lot of experience applying vinyl decals to windows using a very similar install process and understand no matter how well you clean the surface, bubbles are just part of it. Following up removing bubbles and trimming to a perfect fit are again just part of this no matter what you buy or how expensive. So that is to say I don't at all blame the film for the understood challenges getting it just right. But I do complement this film b/c it was far less troublesome and noticeably thicker. The included squeegee and razor cutter were crucial as I initially planed on using a credit card and an exacto knife. I did try both and neither worked nearly as well as the included squeegee and razor knife . The razor knife has a very appropriately shaped blade with a long and narrow diagonal angle making it easier to get inside tight corners and locate the window frame to trace finishing trim cuts. Very very nice touch!!!. I knew installing any tint on these windows wouldn't likely end up in a perfectly flat image un noticeable to the human eye. The house is old, the windows likely 60 + years old, the battle for absolute perfection is too steep and not worth the trouble in my opinion. What I wanted was a decent and inexpensive attempt at dramatically cutting down on the radiating heat entering my home. And this so far has exceeded my expectations!! Aesthetics were far down on the list though I did try my best to reduce the bubbles as much as possible. So Yes a few bubbles remain mostly around the edges but Im ok with that as they can be removed over time with follow up maintenance. Its my home not a store front or neighborhood patrolled by HOA retirees with nothing better to do but nit pick. I would like to impart some suggestions that might help anyone brave enough to have read this far down. Removing Bubbles: You may find some bubbles just won't press out despite multiple attempts. Or some bubbles may appear after a few days/weeks. You can easily remove stubborn bubbles by poking a small pin hole in them. This will let the film flatten out and they aren't noticeable at all. Easy fix if nothing else works. Cutting:. Yes the razor knife was very very useful but a rotary razor blade will make those long horizontal cuts far easier to accomplish over trying to hold a razor knife steady as it travels along the cut line. Also if you need to cut from one edge to another, start somewhere in the middle . This will prevent your cutting from dragging the entire piece. Example Middle to the right. Then finish by going middle left. Cutting from the middle will help prevent your cuts from straying off course and help keep the film still on the glass. Removing bubbles:. Have patience . Yes its prudent to get as many bubbles out as soon as possible. But some just wont press out right away. Let the sun evaporate the remaining water and try again after a couple of days. Projects like this can take a few days/weeks of follow up maintenance before it fully settles in. Especially if you're doing this on old and weather beaten windows. You must keep periodically checking on them and pressing out or poking pin holes in stubborn bubbles. Vinyl Plotter/Cutter. If you have a vinyl cutter like a cricut etc and it can handle your needed dimensions. Your a fool if you don't use it. You may have to increase the cutting pressure so some experimentation may be required. But you will get absolutely perfect sized and shaped cuts. This can dramatically cut down on the labor, time, and frustration of doing this part by hand. My vinyl cutter is down so I had to do my cutting by hand making this project take much longer and much much more frustrating. Im very happy with the results and the included tools which are crucial if not mandatory for this task!!! Save some dramatic failure in the coming months. I stand by my 5 star rating as the quality, value ,and performance just can't be any better. Especially at this price point of 8.99 for 9.56 square foot of coverage. I might just buy more and over time swap out the sections from the inferior brands. You can do it, take your time, get the right tools, and don't let time constraints infect your will to do this the right way. It won't ever go as planned. Take your sweet time and let needs of the project dictate the time needed. If you start rushing things, the frustration will pile up. One section at a time and it will likely take longer than anticipated. Thats just part of it. Good Luck.

This blackout window film works amazingly well. It blocks 100% of the sunlight and turns my room pitch black even in the middle of the day. It also gives total privacy from the outside. The installation was very simple. I just cut it to size, sprayed some water on the glass, and smoothed it on. It stays firmly in place and does not peel off. Highly recommended for night-shift workers or anyone who wants a dark room to sleep

This product was very easy to use, easy to understand directions, and I had a long sidelight (next to my front door) done in a half hour. The frosting is opaque enough to let plenty of light in, while keeping prying eyes OUT. They included everything you needed (squeegee, protected razor blade, and even a tiny spray bottle for you to fill up with the water you needed to spray on the glass). My only suggested improvement is maybe add a hard plastic piece to cut against. I was trying to make straight cuts against the edge of the squeegee (at the edge of the glass, as I didn’t want to damage caulking on the window by pressing the razor into it), and I would be cutting little bits of the squeegee off. Nothing tragic, I ordered only enough for this one sidelight, so it was one time use, but a suggestion of a piece of hard plastic edge to cut against would make it a tad easier to finish.

This blackout window film works really well. It blocks out a lot of the light and gives the room much more privacy, especially during the daytime. Installation was pretty easy once I cleaned the window and followed the instructions. I also like that it’s removable, so I don’t have to worry about permanently changing the window. The size was accurate and it was easy to cut to fit. Great option if you want a darker room without installing curtains or blinds.

I'm not a reviewer but I didn't find what I was hoping for when I took a chance on this window film, so I'm going to be the change. Application: This window film install was simple as could be. Measure, cut, soak, and apply. If you've ever put a decal on a car you're already halfway there. Anyone having trouble here, I'm not sure why. For my kiddo's window, I even applied the film in scrap pieces because I'd used up all the solid pieces. Worked perfectly. Tint (photos 1,2): I was worried the tint might be too dark- and I was right. This significantly cuts the light in the room. To the point that I now have to use lamps in the daytime where I never have before. Good for sleeping in, questionable for my house plant's ability to photosynthesize. Temperature (photos 3-5): Here's the real winner. The temp difference in my house is INCREDIBLE. I have a brick home, in Georgia, with large windows in all directions. My home AC is already working overtime and it gets HOT. Usually, the AC runs all day long and it's still about 78 in my home. That's not the case anymore- my AC run time has been cut in HALF. I know the data are fresh and young, and I'll keep monitoring but this is insane. The pictures are my last three June's AC use. Notice that the Y axis changes between the two. ~9 hr/day in 2024, ~10 hours/day in 2025. THIS JUNE: 4.5hr/day!!!!!! Visibility (photo 6-7: You can see outside, and it's hard to see inside. However looking out looks like everything is fuzzy. It's worse the closer the object is (pic 6 vs 7) but I think that's a price I'm willing to pay. Overall: A+ honestly couldn't be happier. I miss my bright rooms, but not at the expense of literally twice the AC usage. Especially as costs keep rising, this is a no brainer. However I do wonder what type of longevity the film has. My plan is to take it down in the winter, and let that light and warmth come in. Here's hoping I can potentially apply and remove. But even if not, the savings are quite obvious. Take the leap!

This stuff was so easy to put on. It's so pretty. I'm still working on the cabinet, so I don't have the doors on the cabinet. Yet that's kind of hard to see the the picture. It is not super thin and fragile. Its a nice thickness easy to use. I played it out on the glass cut it to fit with a razir blade . Sprayed water on the glass. Peeled the filmoff. Layed the product on it and smoothed it out with a credit card. I bought way to much for 2 doors so I am considering using it on our bathroom windows.

TL:DR: This stuff works at a basic level, does not adhere overly well over time (just days even). If you need a quick and cheap solution, sure this stuff works. If you want a high quality, more permanent tint, find something else. You get what you pay for. This product is very cheap, and there is a reason: the quality is pretty cheap. While it is currently serving it's purpose fairly well of limiting the ability to view into the window panels on the garage and minimizing the sun (I can only assume the UV aspects advertised are being fulfilled), the numerous reviews stating folks had issues with bubbling and wrinkles/lines in the material are spot one. I bought two rolls to cover all the windows on the garage door. On the first roll, I didn't notice it right away when installing, but when inspecting the install, there is a clear vertical line down the tint from the piece that was closer to the end of the roll. It is very evident in the window it was installed on. The second roll had it as well, but I planned the cuts differently knowing it existed and was able to just barely avoid it and cut it off. Following all instructions, it took quite a bit of work to eliminate all of the air bubbles and keep them from re-forming, but every few days I have new air bubbles form and on occasion a corner or edge bubble up and start to peel. The adhesive is very weak on this stuff and the bubble battle will not likely end until I decide to upgrade to a better quality tint.

First of all, this film is absolutely gorgeous. It catches light and changes beautifully in a prism-rainbow fashion throughout the day. It's taken a normal, boring sliding glass door and transformed it into a wonder. The security factor is about 9/10. You can still see shapes and shadows outside, but that's about it. Natural light still filters through nicely. Looking in from the outside, even up close, you can't really see much. Bonus points for that. My only frustration is with the actual application process itself. YMMV, as I was covering very large slider doors and so smaller windows may not be as challenging. I have applied similar water-based window film to other windows in my house, but that kind was a bit thicker and easier to cut and manage than this film. It is not flimsy by any means, but be sure to have a step stool or another person to assist. My recommendation for larger windows is to put the whole thing on and use an exacto tool to trim off excess material. All in all, I love it. It looks amazing and I feel better already just having the extra security there.

IR Test kenn leider nicht durchführen. Effekt ist hübsch. Schaber ist nicht dabei. Preisleistung 2 von 10. Mit etwas Recherche kann man bessere Folien für wendiger Geld finden....

Really lovely design, and looks stainglass and sometimes the angles of light give color to the flowers. Only downfall was that the design had a couple of creases, but don't really show up from a distance. Adds beauty to the window while still being opaque enough to not see through people only see blurred figure.

Creí se podría ver muy cargada el dibujo, pero no, se ve muy bonito, elegante incluso. Y lo pegue solo le puse agua y excelente!

J’ai acheté ce produit pour installer sur les vitres de côté arrière de mon minivan (van life). Facile à appliquer en suivant les instructions. Le fait que le produit soit vendu avec les outils nécessaires est très apprécié et aidant. La seule partie plus difficile est de séparer le film noir de l’endos transparent avant l’application mais c’est réalisable avec de la patience. Je recommande ce produit.

Nous nous sommes mis à deux pour l’installer la pellicule et le résultat en valait la chandelle!! On discerne des formes sans plus. Elle s’est collée super bien, on a mis un léger jet d’eau sur la fenêtre (bien nettoyée auparavant) et on l’a appliqué. On avait au préalable taillé la grandeur que l’on souhaitait et laissé un petit jeu qu’on a découpé avec un exacto à la fin. Reste à voir si avec le temps la pellicule changera de couleur mais le matin quand le soleil passe au travers c’est vraiment très beau l’effet sur les murs.
