d-c-fix window film privacy Rice Paper – 45cm x 2m – self adhesive vinyl films for glass windows with a modern frosted pattern – opaque, decorative for bathroom, home & kitchen

Just fitted mine stuck down perfectly and no bubbles, looks great. My advice; leave it in a warm room for an hour or two before you use it, don't try to put it on a radiator or anything else which is hot to speed the process up. whilst your waiting clean the window or glass you are going to stick it to thoroughly and I mean right into the corners, I used a car window cleaner which worked fine. When your ready offer it up to the surface you want to cover and cut it with a pair of scissors just roughly over size, I cut mine 1/4 - 1/2 inch over size all round, do this with the backing paper still attached as this has grid lines printed on it which will help you cut fairly straight. Peel the backing paper from one corner only and stick the corner to the window, then start peeling the backing paper away a bit at a time lining the film up as you go make sure you have a flexible scraper or spatula or something similar to go over it as you are sticking it down, if you get any big bubbles or creases then gently pull the film away just enough to ease them out and re-stick it using the flexible spatula to help you. Make sure you have a new blade for your Stanley or craft knife and trim the excess film away all around the edges of the window and just pull away the excess film. Rub it over with a rag and if there are any very small bubbles just use a pin to pierce them or nick them with the knife blade and rub them over with a rag. I finished mine off by using a hot air gun the type decorators use and I used it on a warm setting ( I stress warm) and rubbed it all over with a rag to make sure everything was stuck as it should. This type of film does not apply well to cold or dirty greasy surfaces so do the prep and take your time and you will get perfect results but if you are like 90 per cent of the population and have no patience then ask someone who likes decorating to do it for you.

Arrived quickly and packaged well with bubble wrap and brown paper which was a good job as postman forced it through letterbox instead of knocking the door and may have bent it had bubble wrap not prevented this. I wasn't sure what to expect but this product was everything I hoped for. The plastic is good quality, easy to apply to window (I just used a cloth but made sure window had been thoroughly cleaned first) easy to adjust if mistakes made and the final product has given me the privacy I needed. Very happy.

Firstly, this is more than easy enough to apply by one person. I used it to stick over my transparent glass desk, making it translucent. It took me approximately an hour from opening this package till I had it fully stuck on my desk, and that was with sticking it on both sides of the glass as I felt that one layer was still too transparent! Except for a few air bubbles that were easy enough to remove with a plastic spatula, the film stuck down fairly easy; I fully cleaned both sides of the glass, cut a piece of film that was an appropriate size (I found it easiest to cut a piece that was too large, then trim it afterwards with a Stanley knife, that way if it's a bit off you don't end up with missing areas). If you start on one corner and peel it back as you stick it down, while removing air bubbles as you go along, it's relatively simple to do - and looks pretty decent for the price! I am, however, giving this 4 stars as the last 10cm or so of the film was too damaged to be of any use

Bought this to attempt to give more privacy on a front door which has 2 vertical clear glass panels which allow all visitors to see inside our house. The plastic arrived wound up in a tight roll. We thought it would be a good idea to flatten this out and leave it for a day or two unrolled on the floor to try and flattened out some of the ridges which had appeared on the plastic due to it being rolled up. After a couple of days lying flat on the floor the ridges were still visible but we attempted to fit it anyway. Measuring it can be very tricky especially especially if your windows are not exactly the same dimensions from top to bottom (as ours were). Once we got the plastic fitted to the window we attempted to smooth out the air bubbles with a small flat bit of plastic and a soft towel. This (as other reviewers have said) is tricky and can be a bit hit or miss. The plastic can be removed and refitted several times to try and get everything lined up properly. After a lot of fine tuning we were able to get the plastic to fit into place. It was at this point however that a lot of small air bubbles started to appear. We were able to remove most of these by smoothing the plastic with our edging tool but a couple of the bubbles would not budge (even when pricking them with a pin). Trying to flatten these out with our plastic edging tool actually caused the plastic to crease and form some small white ridges which cannot now be removed. The final fit is probably as good as we are going to get but is not ideal. The small ridges and air bubbles are now embedded in the plastic and spoil what could have been a great solution to our problem. Can't really complain for the price but we are now treating this as a short term solution rather than permanent fix.

Perfect for keeping out prying eyes, I've put it in my kitchen, it still lets in enough light, especially at dusk, that room is blinded by the sun normally, but now I can do stuff without squinting my eyes. It's so good I've ordered another roll for my bedroom, net curtains are just so dated. I managed to do this with the help of a ruler, scissors, loyalty card and a Stanley blade, by MYSELF, not sure why folk are struggling. As suggested by a previous buyer, make sure the roll isn't freezing and it will prevent bubbles, measure twice, cut once, keep it on the backing paper as you go along, trying to hang a giant piece without having the backing paper is just foolishness, you'll end up in a right two and eight!

Used on bathroom window as I don't have curtains or blind up. Works well, put 2 layers on though

I’ve purchase Dcfix from Amazon prior to this purchase and been very happy with it but, it looks as if the opal and the milky labels have been assigned to the wrong image (I’ve experience this before with a completely different listing and item). I’ve purchased dcfix before and regardless of effect it was good quality but, unfortunately unlike previous purchases these don’t offer any privacy. They’re handy for glass fronted cabinets but, not for privacy screening on external windows. The peel and stick ones stay up for years (providing they don’t touch the edge of the window where they can start to peel from moisture and debris from atmospheric dust, etc). The water based ones I can’t comment on and wouldn’t buy to avoid any moisture being introduced to my windows.

Don't listen to the negative reviews. I was worried after reading them that this product would be hard to use etc. I'm 38 weeks pregnant and I was able to fix it on the glass side panels of our front door within 5 minutes, by myself. Does the job. Good product.

Fantastic for the layered filter in producing my transparent illustratedware.com masks

Usata per mascherare il lato di un vetro tiene bene e fa un buon effetto visivo. Facile da stendere.

Helaas niet wat ik ervan had verwacht. Ik heb deze versie aangeschaft voor het gebruik op plexiglas, maar het resultaat (zelfs na een week wachten) is teleurstellend. Strepen en luchtbubbels die niet meer weggehaald kunnen worden. Denk dat ik toch "eigenwijs" had moeten zijn en gewoon de statische variant moeten nemen. Kortom; ik kan deze versie, die dus geadverteerd werd als geschikt voor plexiglas, zeer zeker niet aanbevelen voor plexiglas. Ik had ook die d-c-fix rakelset met vilt e.d. erbij besteld, maar zelfs dat hielp dus niet en waarschijnlijk heeft dit dan ook voor de strepen gezoegd in de folie. Erg jammer allemaal... Deze heeft dus een soort van lijmlaag... Ik hoop dat dit te verwijderen is zonder schade aan het plexiglas. Ik hoop het, want anders is alles verpest alleen door deze folie. Ik vrees het ergste... Want je kan dus ook geen agressieve schoonmaakmiddelen gebruiken natuurlijk op plexiglas.

L’article est tout à fait satisfaisant, facile à découper car au verso il y a un papier millimétré ce qui permet de couper droit, il se fixe tel quel et est repositionnable à l’infini s’il y a des bulles. En tout cas facile, occultant sans obscurcir la pièce. Par contre je ne l’ai pas gardé sur ma porte fenêtre car il occulte aussi la vision depuis l’intérieur et j’ai besoin de voir qui est sur mon perron avant d’ouvrir la porte.

I recently bought a house that has a panel of windows in the garage door, and a garage side door with a window that goes directly outside. I'm a bit paranoid about people peeking in to see what I have and needed something to haze over the windows. 6 of the garage door windows are glass while 2 are plexiglas. This stuff went up very easily, though you'll probably have to play around with it your first piece. The curl kind of is a pain in the butt to deal with, so I'd suggest laying the pieces you want to put up under something to flatten them first. I wasn't patient enough for that so put them up as soon as I cut them to size. Peeling the paper backing off will make the film very static-y so keep that in mind. This definitely is not a vinyl cling. The sticky side is quite sticky. Your best bet to be bubblefree is to align at the top only in the top two corners press those, and then using your fingers only, press all the way across. Using your fingers only, go back and forth about an inch at a time down. Any bubbles that come up while you do this you can easily press and massage out. Very happy with the end result. It obscures pretty much everything and is like 'Mr. Magoo' vision wherever it's up. All I could see from the outside looking through it was a hazy red blob which was my car. If you don't cut quite to size, you may have tiny slivers of uncovered pieces between the film and window edge which really nosy people could peek through and see. I had this on my side door and to solve I just used some electrical tape to cover up those sections. Overall great product!
