rabbitgoo Frosted Window Film Privacy for Glass, Matt, 44.5x200cm | Glass Sticker Static Cling without Glue, Removable Opaque Coverings Anti-UV for Bathroom Home Office

My husband had little faith in my ability to put this up, but he ate his hat! Its so easy to use. The most difficult part is trying to find the clear backing to peel off. Made templates of my windows and cut the film (make it much larger than u think as even a tiny crack along the edge is noticable). Peel down half the backing, spray, start at the top & use a squeegee to get it flat. Fantastic stuff. Am almost looking forward to this week's heatwave now!!

Rabbitgoo 60 x 200 cm “One Way” window film. It does what I needed. It was OK to put up, if one is careful, otherwise it might be a nightmare. The privacy only works for those inside if the peeper outside has brighter light than in the room and then they only see a reflection, this is usual during the day, but the reverse at night! So draw the blinds at night. It reduces radiant heat input very significantly. This is why I bought it, and it works much better than the so-called e-coating on the glass (I paid for it, but is there any? Is this a common double-glazing con?) However, it is not as good as a proper dichroic film. I needed to reduce the insolation through our glass doors, and while I bought these rolls a year ago I only applied them last week. It has made a big difference! Before film, inside floor temperature in the sun measured at 36°C, compared with the shaded part at 24°C. Later, when it had all cooled down again, I installed the film. Next day at the same time the bright part of the floor was 28°C and the shaded part 25°C. The step outside was 45°C. I've also added it to some south facing bedroom windows. My pic shows a very thin line of unfiltered daylight down the trimmed edge of the film, in focus but the garden view is of course out of focus. How it might be done if you are as OCD as me. 1. Clean the glass and the surrounds very carefully, removing all contaminants, especially traces of Windowlene or Flash, etc. 2. Check the scalpel/craft knife is very sharp. 3. Fill a clean spray bottle with water and a drop of Fairy liquid to work as a wetting agent. Use this solution and a clean old soft J-cloth for a final clean of the surface. 4. Move the Clear Film sticky tab to the side at the top, this will make peeling it off later much easier. 5. Stick some generous tabs of Sellotape on the film across the top, one each corner and one (or two) in the middle depending on how wide. This is so the film can be given a first position hanging in place from the frame by the sellotape; now it is easy to adjust and trim as necessary to make sure it covers all the glass with a small margin of about a centimetre at the sides, and maybe a bit more top and bottom. 6. Spray the glass generously, so it’s running with water. 7. Carefully begin peeling down the clear film from the sticky back of the silver film, keeping it all away from the glass. An assistant can help here, because now is also a good time to spray the back of the silver film, but it is possible for one person with a narrower glass. 8. About halfway through peeling, check the centre of the silver film is hanging true, and now is a good time to begin helping it to stick, but only with a light brush down the wetted centre, simply to control it. 9. Remove the rest of the clear film, paying attention to the centre and hanging true, and covering all the glass. 10. If it is in the correct position, only now begin to gently work the water out to the edges, radially from the centre, initially using another soft cloth. Use a squeegee only when the film is secure and wrinkle free, and always work towards the edges from the centre. 11. Once the film is stable, sellotape removed, most of the water excluded, and the edges are well worked into the corners and glazing seal, then trim it with the craft knife. Try and do it with a single firm pass along each edge (without damaging the rubber seal), ideally use a ruler to keep the film flat and guide the knife tip. Pay careful attention to the corners which are guaranteed to try and mess things up. 12. Finish off with the soft cloth, paying attention to the edges and seals. 13. Do not overwork the film; this can introduce wrinkles because it is more likely to stretch after a good soak. 14. Allow it to dry overnight, maybe a couple of days even, before succumbing to the temptation to tidy it up a bit more.

Decent film- Silver It does make the room quite dark, it’s like sunglasses for your room. But that’s why you’re putting it up, right? I wanted to reduce the sun coming into my kids 2 west facing rooms. It’s worked. Was easy to install with a £4 kit and took me about an hour to do 6 panes of glass. I’m yet to see what it’s like in the winter for darkness, if it’s too much, I’d take it off and put it up once a year in the summer. Which to me, for £30 and an hours work is reasonable.

Was a bit fiddly so glad I bought extra incase I messed up which I did first attempt, but after a second successful attempt (with some left to spare) it does the job perfectly, keeps privacy in my sons room, keeps it cool during summer and darker during light summer nights. Looks great from the outside too, would be a lot easier to apply if you have two people but I’m an impatient woman with 0 DIY skills and still managed to fit it myself, would definitely benefit from two sets of hands or someone with more experience in vinyl

This is the 3rd roll that I buy. I first bought it some years ago to use on a rented house for privacy. I'm now renting a flat and decided to buy it again. I am not the most patient person in the world and perhaps I lack the skills but I find it a bit challenging to attach it on my own, I feel like 2 hands are not enough. It's doable but ended up with tiny bubbles which could perhaps be prevented but I ran out of patience. When I have another set of hands for help, there are no bubbles left, but it still takes effort to make sure it's straight. The corners are a pain in the rear as they don't seem to stick on the glass properly but it's hardly noticeable. I love the end result anyway and I absolutely love the thickness and texture of it. It gives great privacy without losing brightness. I bought it before, bought it again and will definitely continue buying it in the future.

So, this product does what it says. It's relatively easy to install, although quite hard to get bubble free etc, even with a squeegee and damp cloths. So, 3 stars for that - its ok. However, the main issue is that this is basically not suitable for double glazed windows - even if your double glazing is toughened glass. The product blocks a lot of the heat coming in which is what we wanted - but the result is the inside of the double glazed window with the film on gets VERY hot. If you have ordinary, non-toughened double glazing, the heat differential can, apparently, cause the window to crack. Even if your glass is toughened, the heat build up can potentially cause blown seals. I have had a hunt around and couldn't find anything about this on the product page. The only vague thing I could find was: "Wide Application: This privacy film is suitable for any flat, clean, and smooth glass surface, including homes, offices, stores, and classrooms. Note: If your glass is of a special type or is installed in a way that makes it prone to issues, please ensure compatibility before making your selection" Should I have done more homework before purchasing - yes. But I would guess most people getting this product would be intending to use it on double glazing which is certainly not a glass that is a "special type". We have toughened Pilkington K glass I was applying the film too and I removed the film a day after I applied it as its just not worth the risk/cost of potentially having to replace blown double glazing units.

Extremely pleased with the quality of this product. Got an experienced friend to fit it, as I'd struggle on my own, and I am so pleased with the result, I'd almost describe it as beautiful. The best part is the reason I bought it and the temperature reduction in that room is brilliant, so effective I'm considering doing the same thing in other rooms. Only consideration is it does make the room a bit darker, but that's not an issue in this instance.

Absolutely worth a go. It’s a very cost effective way to add privacy and for me to reduce the temperature in a room. I’ve popped it on the windows of my south facing home office - it reduces the ambient temperature by a good 5-10 degrees without cutting out too much light. Fairly easy to apply - definitely spray to window with copious amounts of water and use a squeegee to flatten. Personally, I find it doesn’t have the clarity of glass (I’m using the silver version) as it slightly crinkles when applying but I’m not worried about the view just staying cool. Do measure up first as the popular 44cm is quite narrow and you might have apply in strips.

Super easy to install came with all the tools that I needed. It really does work well you can see outside. Nobody can see it except for at night time if your lights are on then they can see in your trailer. It does keep the heat down very well.

Took a lot of patience but came out perfect. Love the mirror look.

Not 100% privacy inside or out. It is very hard to see from the outside in with the mirror but if you come up close enough to the glass you can see inside a small amount during the day. It does seem to block a lot of heat out so if you're looking for that this is definitely going to be good for that. I have apartments across from me so I'm trying to get a little bit of privacy from my sliding doors. If you look at the one picture you can see that it's clear to see my daughter's Toy Box in front of the window from outside with the film on. And you can also see that my light on the ceiling is on.

This film isn't mirror enough. You can see right through it.

Die Sichtschutz Folie (30cm) ist wirklich sehr gut. Das Muster ist wie das von Milchglas, habe lange gesucht eine ohne schreckliches Blumen Muster zu finden und finde es daher sehr angenehm. Geholt habe ich sie, um mich von den Blicken der Vermietern im Hinterhof und der Nachbarn zu schützen. Und genau dafür ist sie absolut top! Die Folie lässt schön Licht durch, Sonnenschutz bieten sie bei Montage am oberen Teil den Fensters bestimmt auch gut. Die Montage war sehr einfach, nur schutzfilm abziehen und aufkleben. Sieht sehr sehr sauber aus. Blasen gab es gar keine. Absolute Kaufempfehlung! Habe sie auch für die Fenster zur Straße vor nochmal in 45cm gekauft!
