Transparent Ultra High Heat Rejection & UV Cut Window Film NSN 70 (36" X 12ft)

Happy enough with the results that we ordered more. Not difficult but does tak a bit of practice to put on. The film is pretty delicate. It would be nice if they attached it to a cardboard tube. I dropped it and had to discard some due to puckering/dimples where it creased when it hit the floor. That being said it works well once it is up. The window is ~5 degrees warmer compared to one without film (it should be as the film is absorbing heat) and the floor where the sun hits is >5 degrees cooler. This is for the clear film with UV. No difference in the color of the window.

I have installed GILA window tint on all of the windows in my home (privacy frosted and platinum for heat rejection) and have not had the types of issues I have with the BDF tint. BDF tint feels slightly thicker than GILA's, which I thought would be a plus. The issue comes from bubbling. I've used the proper installation technique and even watched BDF's videos to ensure their application wasn't any different but ended up with a ton of bubbles that crept up after the installation. During the install, I remove all of the bubbles and properly apply the film using the properly mixed solution and squeegee. As it is drying, new bubbles form under the tint and they do not disappear during the curing process. There is no trapped dirt or dust in these bubbles. I was issued a new roll and when I removed the first installation, it was liquid that was inside these bubbles. It is "normal" for small liquid bubbles to form under tint and over a few days/week they should cure and dry. This is not the case with this particular tint. Pros: It is easily removable and doesn't tear very easily without being cut first. Color and clarity were perfect for me. Tool set they give is a plus. They give a nice fresh razor and squeegee inside the roll. Cons: I know it's easily removable because the first installation started to bubble and they would not go away after several weeks of curing. +1 star for amazon's customer service I tried to get a photo of the types of bubbles I was talking about. They're clear bubbles, not white. In auto tint, clear bubbles disappear as the liquid underneath dries/cures. With GILA, it does the same. This was not the case with this particular BDF tint. I do not work for or am associated in anyway with GILA. That is the only other brand product I have experience with.

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

Looks terrific and not too dark! Just installed today so will see about sun block ability as weather gets warmer.

Follow instructions exactly. Go online to manufacturer and watch video. I spent a great amount of time to put two pieces, top and bottom, on my sliding storm door. I followed the instructions perfectly, but there were still tiny bubbles and it was a mess to look though, blurry! I was Not Happy. I was too frustrated to take it down on the same day. Three + days later it was totally clear and no bubbles. It had to dry and settle. It is perfect now! Our front door gets the west sun everyday and over 100 degrees in the summer. I needed to protect my front door. The heat builds up tremendously between my front door and storm door so I leave my storm door slid open slightly in the summer to relieve the heat build up, but the heat hasn’t affected the film.
