This tint is great! It installed quickly and easily, it looks wonderful. We used it on a small powder room on the sunny rear of the house. It does a great job blocking heat and UV rays, and we still have a great view out to the beautiful desert. Best of all, it provides privacy from anyone outside looking in. We didn't want to put up a curtain, which would have blocked our view from the inside. This is a much better choice for us. We installed it ourselves, and the results look very professional. I've included pictures from the inside and outside so you can see how it provides privacy without taking away from the view. EDIT- Nearly a year later actually 50 weeks) this tint has been perfect. No peeling loose, no bubbles, no change whatsoever. I was a bit skeptical a year ago (how well can it stick without adhesive?) but it looks exactly the same as the day we applied it. Amazingly satisfied. If it performed that well in the brutal Arizona sun, it will work for you too! We’re about to buy several more rolls and do every door & window in the house. (Because I’m lazy. That’s why I haven’t done it yet. But my excuse is, I wanted to be sure it’s permanent.)

So, overall, the product worked well for me. I have a few minor complaints. I assume my issue with the final result was based on the install kit (plastic blade/edge/squeegee/whatever you want to call it) being imperfect and not this product being too soft, but please be aware of my issue and read up on making sure your blade is perfect or using a softer edge like rubber/felt. In the end, I have swirl marks all over the tint, which looks like swirl marks after washing your car with a dirty sponge. Pros: -Tint was shipped quickly and wrapped pretty well. -The color is a bit blue, and it ends up looking to me like it's a cloudy/rainy day outside. I was worried it would be darker, but it's not bad. Cons: -Mirror finish ended up being a bit duller than I thought from the photos, but it still looks fine. -They use tape to keep the roll together (2 pieces on each), and the tape left a super sticky residue. I had to use a little rubbing alcohol to take off the residue before putting it up. I would recommend a better quality tape or a rubber band, but it was fine. -The material had a few creases on the end from shipping or packaging. Since they were on the edge, they were just trimmed off anyway, but look for them before you install if you need the entire roll. Overall: I was really happy with this product. It worked well and I feel good about my results for first time window tinting. I would purchase this product again, and likely will because of the swirl marks unfortunately. I did 4 smaller windows, and it probably took me 10 minutes per window to install and get the bubbles out. If you are a first timer, I would recommend using a LOT of solution, a softer edged blade, and working the bubbles out starting at the most visible or important edges and ending at the least visible edge. They all look good, but the bottom edge is not visible since the windows are high, so if there were a small bubble or two, I would rather them be there. So far so good though.

I needed something as I sit facing the hot afternoon sun in the summer. NO trees as a tornado took them. These went on easy. Use lots of water like others stated. I got a squeegee from the dollar store and it is wide enough that it works perfectly. I would suggest getting the actual size of your window so it goes on in one strip. Easy to cut and easy to apply. The texture is thicker than I thought. It does help the heat of the one room. You can see out but others from the street can't see in UNTIL dark. No adhesive besides from your water bottle. They go on good and if you need to readjust them they do come off easily and can be added back with no issues. I'm glad I got them.

Easily removable and it seems like when it gets hot outside, bubbles tend to appear. I really like the product, but my toddler is able to remove it very easily, even when it's adhere to the window perfectly. Meaning it's easy to remove if needed but also if not needed as well. So daily I go and redo the tint and remove ALL bubbles. The top half stays good. But since I have kids, the bottom half always seems to come undone due to the kids, unsure if it has helped with heat. Tint gets really hot compared to the regular glass. Also seems foggy for some reason. It definitely took out alot of light that was coming in. And as long as you have all the bubbles out it looks ok. But Not perfect.

I used this film on our RV windows both for privacy and to block some of the heat. It applies relatively easily even for a first time user. Be sure to use a lot of soapy water when you apply it and have a really sharp exacto knife to cut around the window frame. It does work for both privacy and the heat.

This is my first attempt of applying any sort of window film product. Installation was easier than I thought it might be, but you learned a few tricks along the way. Highly recommend this product to help. Keep your home cooler by reflecting the sun.

Does exactly what I need it to do - mirrors the external view of my windows for complete daytime privacy. My film is not nearly as dark as represented in the photo (which I was happy to discover as I applied it). It will darken your view, but more like wearing mild sunglasses. Applied correctly it is perfectly clear and I forget it is even on the window. Installation can be really frustrating IF you do not follow the directions regarding using A TON OF SOAPY WATER ON BOTH SIDES as you apply. SOAK the window - have soapy water running down the (previously well-cleaned) window, so much water that the film will slide as you apply it. If your film cannot slide as you lay it against the window *you do not have enough soapy water* - pull it back and try it again. Whenever you need to adjust the film, lift up the edge and pour more handfuls of soapy water between the film and window. Soapy water on the outside of the film is required to 'float' your squeegee as you evenly squeegee bubbles out to the sides. USE MORE SOAPY WATER THAN YOU THINK YOU WOULD NEED. Add it frequently as you install, and add more if you run into any problems. Incidentally I did not purchase a squeegee to install the film - I used a credit card and it worked just fine. If you wrinkle the film, you will have a permanent visible line, even if you manage to work the wrinkle out during the squeegee process. To minimize the chance of this happening, have a second person hold the opposite top edge as you peel off the protective film from the product so that you can keep it flat (it will try to stick to itself - don't let it!), and have that person help you align the top edge, *holding it taut*, and then gently allowing the film to contact the window starting from top to bottom. Once you've got your film positioned (laying it on slowly from top edge to bottom seems to be the best way to minimize the bubbles on the initial part of the process), and have slid it on the soapy water to exactly where you want it (again, if it does not slide, you do not have enough soapy water! you *will* get wrinkles that will never come out), you can start working the bubbles out with your choice of squeegee objects. Slide from the center to the edges, be patient, make several passes over stubborn bubbles from each direction (and if they simply won't come out, peel that side up again, check for grit or hairs, re-soak the area with soapy water and try again). As you work the bubbles out, that huge amount of soapy water will squeegee out as well - have a small towel ready to soak it up as it slides to the edge. If you do all of these things, you've got a good chance of applying the film without bubbles, without wrinkles, very well adhered to the window, and with a crystal clear view. The moral of the story? USE LOTS AND LOTS OF SOAPY WATER. MORE THAN YOU THINK YOU NEED. If you don't do that, you will have a negative experience with this film. A final installation note - I have used other window films that had a very slight stretchy quality making it easy to get a perfect fit. This film does not stretch *at all*. So make your initial cut as accurate as possible. A criticism of the product quality control - my roll came with a wrinkle already in place - and once there's a wrinkle, the film is creased and it will be visible no matter how carefully you install the product. This is simply a quality control issue, but it is one that should be noted and marked down.

Good quality, just what I needed

El producto llega con instrucciones, en realidad es muy fácil de instalar... Mi error fue que no quise medir y dejé un pedazo sin la película... Pienso comprar mas para complementar media ventana. La verdad no sé me ha despegado y ya llevo semanas con él. Me ayudó con el tema del calor (se calentaba mucho al caer la tarde) y también entra mucho menos luz.. Ahora veo mucho mejor a través de la laptop y no me molesta el sol. Sin duda no me decepcionó.

The product is very good. Easy to install. Goes a long way. It is not so easy to remove. We needed to use more water.

La verdad si redujo muchísimo el calor y ayudó mucho a proteger del sol mi cuarto. Fue muy sencillo ponerlas y las pude acomodar como yo quise. Lo único malo es que no te ofrecen otros tamaños, y tuve que comprar 3 para tapar una ventana normal.

Solo lee hace falta el adhesivo, ya que después de colocarlo llega a despegarse. Además se requiere una espátula de goma o silicon para su colocación
