Heat Control Window Film, Window Tint Sun Blocking Blackout and UV Protection, one-Way Privacy Mirror Reflective Film,Explosion-Proof Premium PET Material Cosmic Black, 17.5 Inch x 6.5 Feet

I am so VERY glad we bought this heat reflective film..We have a big window that faces full south so it really heats our house up in this VERY hot and dry drought we are having in Washington State..The film I bought was Mercury Blue..I got the 23.6x 6.5 ft size..It went on easily..The hardest part was getting the protective film off the window cling ..After struggling with the large window first.. I had enough left over to cover a small window in our porch that faces full EAST sun ..I figured out putting a piece of scotch tape on the corner of the protective film (not the one that goes on the window) and pulling it was sooo easy to separate the 2 films..I also used a spray bottle with just dish soap and water..I used a LOT of spray on the window and the cling..NOTE: Do not spray the window before you are ready to apply because the soap, especially on a hot sunny side window, will dry and leaves streaks and you just have to spray again.. Also, I had enough left over to do the small window in the porch.. I planned on that when I ordered..The only concern I had was I new it would be pieced together..I decided to overlap one window with the scraps..IT HELD GREAT!! You can see in the pictures I took..They are the last of windows..If you look at the pictures and see the comparison to the opened window and the window with the heat reflective film on it..you can see how clear it is …a bit tinted but still great visibility.. I HIGHLY recommend this product.. I did a test for the temp with the window covered and the window not covered..There is a HUGE difference now with the heat stopped outside! Yaaaaay! I am planning on a long term solution to the ‘heat is here to stay’ situation our climate change has put us all in. Note: I cut my window cling as close to size before putting it on..That seemed easier..I did have an exact0 knife for trimming some areas but that was minimal..GOOD luck!SECOND REVIEW ON SECOND ORDER.. I still love this product…I used it on 2 West side facing bedroom windows..I had a very pretty prismatic window cling on those but they were not heat reflecting..I cut the heat reflecting film and applied like the first order..It went on without a problem..NOTE…You can see right through this reflective window cling..My husband went outside and I stayed inside for the test..Sooo, I really missed my prismatic cling.. I wondered if it would stick to the reflective cling..IT DOES!! Sooo pretty..The first 6 pictures are the dinning room window..I have a picture of flowers to divide the window pictures..The last pictures are the bedroom window with the heat reflective cling underneath the prismatic film.. LOVE it..

The pics for reference are SE facing windows in Alabama in June.One with lights on, one with lights off and one from outside in the middle of the day.Total privacy during the day without that annoying aluminum look- absolutely love it.Has drastically lessened the radiant heat as well as unwanted light in the bedroom.My cat loves it cause she can still look outside and I get the privacy and limited light that I want.These are combined with blackout curtains at night and it makes my room literally pitch black. It’s amazing.Annoying installation at first but once you get your rhythm down, it’s super easy.I did two windows like the one pictured in about 30 minutes- it would have been faster but I had to stop my kitten from stealing the plastic backing.If you like looking outside but don’t want to be blinded, would like your privacy and keep it a bit cooler- just buy these.I’m definitely getting more soon

Used this to block damaging sun rays and heat in small closet windows. Application instead easy but they say apply a lot of soapy water and portion control seemed off. They slipped a lot and had bubbles so I had to keep working it out with a squeegee. Took longer than expected but now that they are in place, it is noticeably cooler in the closet (despite 100 degree temps.). Effort was worth it.

The media could not be loaded. EDIT. After 30 minutes I was able to separate the pieces stuck to itself. This process required pulling it apart resulting in numerous wrinkles and stretching. It looks horrible--see video.They say soap to water ratio is 2 to 1. I used Dawn dish detergent. I tried 3 different spray bottles and all came out in streams. I changed to 1 to 1 ratio and was able to get a mist vs stream. I recommend apply as a mist...................Once you remove the clear film it is sticky. I was doing a sliding glass door so I had a long piece. When moving from my flat surface to the window it folded on itself and the whole piece was ruined.I cut a new piece. Need to be extra careful. Took 15 mins to separate the clear film from the window film. They only help you separate the clear from the film in one corner. You are on your own once you cut it. Using pieces of tape did not work. In the meantime my 2:1 soapy water has dried on the glass. They say the more soapy water the better so I take that advice and when I am trying to get on my ladder with the long piece it slips out of my soapy hand and folds over on itself and is ruined. I now do not have enough left to cover 1 of the two pieces of glass.I have enough left for 3/4 of the window. No matter how much you squeegee you cannot get all of air bubbles out. You will get creases that are permanent (meaning it is not an air bubble).If you are not an experienced window film installer, nor experienced working on a ladder or step stool, you will hate yourself for buying this product.Should we talk about the endless wiping of soap off your window?
