BDF NSN70 Window Film Transparent High Heat Rejection & UV Cut (Very Light) - 36in X 50ft

I have used a free window films over time and this was one of the top films I have used. It went on well and is very transparent as well as it does a fantastic job blocking radiant heat from the sun. I used this film on my storm door for that very reason and I would recommend it to anyone. Super easy to install and the energy I’ll save by blocking the radiant heat will be awesome. I plan on ordering more and using it on my windows next!

One side of my new build house is south facing and after multiple rounds with the heating and ac folks I decided to try this film to reject the heat. I’ve completed the bottom half of three windows and wanted to share how clear this goes on. It’s a little difficult to work with as it’s not very forgiving- even without losing control of it I still have one or two little spots where it looks like it’s been folded and therefore creased. I saw another review where it apparently went away after a few days so I’ll update this with this review to confirm, as well as give an opinion of whether or not the heat is truly reduced.Update: it’s been about 2 weeks and I really like this product. My extra ecobee sensor indicates that the pantry, which always runs hot (74-76 degrees when the thermostat is set at 70), is registering at 71. As I worked through other windows I tried two methods of install. The first was how the instructions say to put them on, by slowly peeling the product backing off as you worked to attach to the window, and the other way I tried, was I laid the precut piece on a table and peeled it all off there, and then I attached in one fell swoop.Option 1: it takes about 20 minutes to apply, and it appears there are little to no bubbles under the film. The film does peel off periodically as you are installing and will fold over on itself which creates creases that do not come out. Over time they will minimize but if you’re like me, you’ll see them. No one else will notice it, but it drives me crazy. I also noticed there were little bubbles and almost like a smeared effect on one or two windows at the bottom and the bottom corners. Overall, it gives a clean look but definitely leaves a few blemishes, even after a few weeks of adhering. I suspect it’s because I couldn’t really get the back of the film as wet as the window’s because It was already so close to the window, creating a more dry, and therefore more difficult hang.Option 2: after I peeled the film backing off, I would apply a lot of the spray to both the window and the film, then line it up from the center and let it just do its thing. It behaves a lot like tempered glass for a phone so if you start in the middle of the glass and let go, it attached quite nicely to the window all by itself. Once it’s on, I then smoothed out as many bubbles as I could. I did panic a bit because it appeared smooth but when I came back an hour later I saw a lot of bubbles. It took about 7-10 days of leaving it alone, but they are completely gone now and the bottom and corners look great. You cant even tell there’s film on the windows. This way took me closer to 12-15 minutes once the film was cut so the more efficient install time also made it nicer to use this option.

The film was easy for 2 people to apply. Considering the size of my sliding door glass (33x63) I would recommend this as a two-person job. Four days after install, there are still some small air bubbles. None of them are more than 1/4" diameter and do not impede visibility at all. The film results in a slight dimming of daylight. I can definitely say that the inside temperature near the door is noticeably cooler than what it was before. So overall, pleased with the results.

I purchase the BDF NSN70 Window Film Transparent Ultra High Heat Rejection & UV Cut NSN 70 (Very Light) so YMMV. My use case was simple — I wanted a non reflective film to repel heat/sunlight on my single paned glass storm door to prevent my 100 year old wooden front door from sustaining heat and sun damage.The instructions and video were helpful, but you’d have to be Bob Vila to affix this properly, although I did a pretty good job all things considered. After proper application, the film does bubble, even days later, and that would be the lease of my worries, other than it seemingly just doesn’t seem to do anything. Perhaps it repels certain spectrum of light but it certainly doesn’t repel heat to the touch. My door is hotter than ever. I haven’t used equipment to test it or anything, but I know hot when I feel it.Thankfully I bought some car windows shades and will just Jerry rig a viable alternative. Also need to figure out how to remove this film without ruining my custom storm door.

I bought this film to apply under the Skylight that I just replaced. My old Skylight was cracked, and since it's 50 years old, very few new Skylight will fit. I bought the only one I could find, and I was not so satisfying with it. It was medium grey, color and not as dark as my old Skylight. My house is already hot as hell with the old Skylight, so imagine that with a lighter color Skylight. As the sun shined through the Skylight, it left a large rectangle moving through my carpet, then my staircase, then on to the wall. Looking at it was like looking at a 150-200 watts incandescent light bulb directly with the new Skylight, so I had to use my hand to cover on side of my face every time I walked by, to keep my eyes protected. it's that bad. And here is where the tint film came in.I applied 4 layers of this film, BDF NSN70, directly under the Skylight because it was for interior use. I cut each layer in 3" stripes and overlapped them so that they could conform to the curved surface of the Skylight better. It was still imperfect, but looked more decent than apply the whole film on the curved surface. It still didn't look good. Then I went to Home Depot and bought a 2x4 defusing panel that you normally installed on the ceiling below the fluorescent lights. This was done to defuse light better, and also make the Skylight look good since the flaws wouldn't show up through this panel. I then installed the Skylight with the pannel sandwiched in between the Skylight and the roof, rough side of the panel down.The result: ABSOLUTELY AMAZING !!! I just couldn't believe it! This cut the heat absorbed through the Skylight by 95%. You read it right, by 95%. I stood directly under the Skylight with the sun shined directly over my head, and I can feel the heat on my skin: It was only VERY SLIGHTLY WARMER THAN MY OWN BODY TEMPERATURE and the outside temperature was 85 degree. The sun shine had been cut down so much thru out the day, and the light color was actually WHITE all day long, not YELLOW as it should be any more. It was like looking at a 40 watts fluorescent white light bulb from a distant. The light was slightly darker before noon, and from noon on, it was at full capacity, which was gentle and very easy on eyes. For me, this was perfect. If I wanted it brighter, 3 layers would do that, with a little temperature gain, of course. So, the template now was the temperature of the house coming from doors and windows, but no longer from the Skylight. The defusing effect of the panel also dispersed the light out such that it created a more even light through the area, and I no longer saw the sharp rectangle sun glow on the wall anymore, that was the end of it. Needless to say, the result was sort of unexpected because from my calculations, I never knew that it would turn out like that, but hey, who is complaining?An important thing I learned from this exercise is this: If you want to use a film for heat blocking, try an MIRROR EXTERIOR FILM first. I used the BDF EXS35 for my windows and doors that I wanted to see more out of those, and BDF EXS15 for my master bedroom to cut the heat to a minimum level so that I can sleep in it in the afternoon. This will cut the heat by 60% and 80% respectively. I plan to apply the BDF NSN70 to the interior of the same glasses to cut the heat down another 15% and 8% respectively, making the heat rejection totals to 75% and 88% respectively. This will bring the temperature down further, but affects the views very little. The BDF NSN60 will not be that much more gain to consider. Note that I mentioned MIRROR FILM here, preferably the SPUTTERED type for EXTERIOR use, and NOT the regular black or dark gray films. Black color attracted heat, so, initially the black film blocks heat by blocking sun light, but given enough time and the right sun angle, the sun light turns into heat, and heat will start to radiate into the room because the film only blocks light, not heat, so the later part of the day (4-6pm), it will be the hottest. I used to come home from work almost every day and it was ok, but now I stay home all day everyday, so I realized how much discomfort it was with the black film. And from the experience I gained from doing the Skylight, I no longer again tint my glasses with black or dark grey films.Hope my experiments here will be of some helps for those who needed it.

Not good. Did not protect the heat from the sun. Easy to install. Can’t return it either so waste of money.

This window film does the trick in keeping out harmful UV rays. It is a little tricky to install and should be installed by 2 people.

My wife and I applied this film to our garage door windows which faced the west. I wouldn’t say that we did a perfect job because it was our first experience in applying reflective film. However, it worked well enough after we got the hang of it. It’s made a huge difference in how hot our garage gets in the afternoon setting sign. I would use this product again

I have an east facing glass door (double-pane glass measures 2 feet by 6 feet within the wooden door) with nothing blocking the sun but wooden blinds on the inside of thr glass. We live in a semi-desert area and the sun is incredibly bright. Using an infrared thermometer, temperature on the inside of the blind (facing the glass) before installing the film was 120 degrees farenheit.Of course, installing a film like this can be challenging, especially for the first time. Watch the videos, make notes if necessary, and use plenty of solution. Clean the window, then clean it again, and again. Use a razor scraper to make sure there are no tiny spots of paint or anything on the glass. Then clean the window again.Take your time, and if you can get some help, use it. I did my door by myself and the film went on without a problem. I spent a good hour afterward, pushing the solution out to the sides.Okay, the good news - temperature of the inside of the blind after installing the film was 105 degrees farenheit, a drop of 15 degrees! My room is quite a bit cooler, the view through the glass is still clear, and the film is virtually unnoticeable from the outside.This film has made a big difference in the comfort of my home, so much so that I plan to install it on all of my east and west-facing windows (we have none facing the south) . This is a great product and works as advertised.Did I mention how important it is to clean the glass? Remember - clean the glass!!!

Used this on rv windows to help them from cracking.

Does NOT work - I want a refund for this waste of time and money.

This is really hard to install. Dont be afraid of putting alot of water for easier installation.

Not as dark as I thought it was going to be, but still it was easy to install, just have to make sure the measurements you make are on the dot, I wound up with a window set being off by a few inches and looks a little sloppy but still though, kept the glare from the sun on my tv to a minimum
