This product is amazing, I wish I bought this sooner. I bought this due to chronic migraine and the lights were overwhelming and causing a lot of pain. Before this I had blankets tacked to the wall to try and reduce the light. It reduced harsh lights from getting in and actually can look out the window without a major attack immediately. The privacy works well and reflects from the outside. We would keep our AC on 66 and still be hot on the 3rd floor, the apartment was noticeably cooler immediately and could raise the temp without feeling hot. We only had enough for 3 windows but hoping to buy more for the last window soon as it works so well. Easy to adhere if you know what you’re doing, does take a while to measure and cute and then apply but worth the work in the end! Hasn’t moved and even with mistakes it works well! Read more

These were not that hard to install, if you follow instructions and take your time they can look very good. My pictures show during daytime you cannot see inside, and you can see outside with minimal visual distortion. I did not take night pictures, but at night you can see inside. The only downside to these is that looking from inside to the outside at night seemed very poor. This is what I found to work best for install. If you have plenty of material left over after cutting out what you need, use some of the excess to practice with. 1. Get a good squeegee - I got this one EHDIS Small Squeegee 5 inch Rubber Window Tint Squeegee for Car, Glass, Mirror, Shower, Auto,Windows 2. Thoroughly clean your windows. Don't just wipe them down, clean them. Clean them a few times. 3. Measure the glass you want to cover, then add at least a half inch to each edge. So if your window is 20" wide, you want at least 21" of material or more. 4. Cut your material to the amount you just figured out. 5. Make a spray bottle of soapy water. Don't go crazy with the soap, just a drop or two is plenty. 6. Spray your window so that every inch is wet and the water is dripping down - you cannot get it too wet. 7. Peel the plastic protective sheet off the film. 8. Spray the cling side of the film (the same side that had the protective plastic) with your soapy water. 9. Give another couple sprays to the window, especially the top edge if your water has dripped down. 10. Place the film onto the window so that the edges overlap the window. The film will automatically cling to the window and some of the soapy water will go away. You can adjust the position of the film as necessary to get the edges overlapping. 11. Use the squeegee ONLY in a small section of the center of the window - DO NOT wipe to the edges. This will help the film stay in place while you cut it to fit. You do not want to squeegee to the edges because you still need the soapy water to help the edges stick after you get the film trimmed to size. 12. Use a sharp hobby/exacto knife to cut the film. Push the film down so that it gets as far into the corner of the glass and the frame as possible. I found it easier to start from the middle and work my way into the corners. Go VERY SLOW! A nice slow cut will help you cut straight. I also found it helpfull to cut an entire sliver off, and not just to the corner of the window. 13. Once you have it completely trimmed, use the squeegee starting from the center of the window and work your way to the outside edges. Do it multiple times, even if it looks like the soapy water is gone. 14. If you have any edges that are not sticking, gently pull the edge back far enough that you can spray more soapy water in there, then use the squeegee again. Read more

This applies easily to my windows. Having done window tint on a car before, this was very similar, but a lot easier since it is static cling and not adhesive. It’s still hard to cut it perfectly, but you can get it good enough. The mirror effect from outside looks good during the day, but I got it hoping to reduce the heat coming into the window. There is a noticeable difference in the heat, but not as much as I had hoped for. I still use blackout curtains in addition to this film, but I can still feel the heat on the curtains. My best advice to putting this up is to first: Get a size that is already close to your window size If you trim first, leave at least half an inch bigger on all sides Start peeling the backing and start spraying soapy water between the pieces and continue as you peel. Windows need to be clean and wet with your soapy water. You cant have too much soapy water, soak it all Use a cheap squeegee if you’ve never done it before, and keep it wet too. A credit card works equally well if you know what you’re doing. Keep a towel on the window sill to catch the water that you squeeze out. I prefer to trim my excess film while everything is still wet and can be moved and always do 2 edges. The other 2 I don’t touch and use that as my straight edges, top and side. My trimmed sides are never perfect, but usually good enough. When you squeegee, start in the middle and work your way out, top -sides -bottom. Overall it has good privacy during the day, just wish it blocked more direct heat on my west facing window. Read more

This reflective tint is a really great product both day and night. During the day, you can’t see inside from the outside it gives a mirror like reflection for great privacy. From the inside, you can still see outside and it’s not too dark. It also blocks sunlight, which is a big plus. My window is a 4x4 window with 8 squares, and the size I purchased covered 7 out of the 8 squares, so I’ll definitely be purchasing another roll. In the pictures, you can clearly see the difference the bottom of the window is tinted, while the top is clear, showing how the tint looks once applied. Everything needed for installation comes in the box, including the tools, and the instructions were very clear. It sticks really well and I had no issues installing it. Very happy with this purchase.
