rabbitgooBlackout Window Film, Black Out Window Film Privacy Day and Night, Blackout Glass Sticker Vinyl Covering for Glass Doors, Light Blocking UV Protection Dark Black 44.5x200 cm

Must admit. we were a bit hesitant on purchasing this but were pleasantly surprised. It was easy to apply and the window film quality was good. We used it on our front and side door windows and were pleased with the application and the look it gave. Having applied this on multiple windows, our recommendation would be make sure that you have given the windows a really good clean and wiped over with a lint free cloth. Make sure you get the window really damp, don't be shy as you push all the water out anyway. We used an old loyalty card to use a squeegee to push out any small bubbles and excess water. Final advice would be - set some time aside to do this, don't rush it as that is when the mistakes happen. Would purchase again.

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.

Being a total DIY novice, I was a bit daunted at trying to do this myself. But hey, absolutely no worries. This film was really easy to fit and if I can do it, anyone can. Clear simple instructions to follow (Tick). Very forgiving if you make a mistake, if you spray enough water like it states. The film will slide around until your happy with it. And also it allows you to peel back re-wet and re-stick (Tick Tick Tick) But, I might say even though I did put on myself, it might help to have a spare pair of hands to hold while fitting & spraying etc. Very pleased with my final result (no-doubt hubby will find an bubble somewhere etc. Haha). And I will say, if I need to do some other windows, I will definitely re-order this product. And at a very good value too.

I gave this product 3* because it does make a difference to the brightness of the light coming through the window.2* deducted because I've literally gone through 3 rolls of this stuff, carefully applying the vinyl with plenty of water on both the film and the window with a squeegee - and it still results in creases that you just can't remove. The result looks "OK" but nothing like the smooth look on the pictures.If you're looking for something that's easy to use, look elsewhere.

I have a small lounge window that is overlooked. I like the light so didn't want blinds or curtains drawn during the day. This took about 30 minutes to fit, isn't noticeable from the inside but completely blocks anyone from seeing in. It gives the glass a slight tinted look (inside) which I like. I made the mistake of completely removing the backing for the first half of the window which caused the film to curl up and stick to itself like cling film, it was a good job that no one could hear me. I peeled the backing off as I was sticking it on the second half of the window and that was much easier. A clean trim was easy with a stanley blade and the result is perfect. I would use this again without hesitation.

I'm writing this review so that others don't buy this. This film is hands down the worst thing I have ever bought on Amazon.I had some windows and french doors that i wanted to block the sun out from so went with this film. Getting the back film off is the stuff of nightmares taking absolutely ages with it being so awkward and fiddly. Once the backing film is off the film is very adhesive with it folding in and sticking on itself straight away which wasted a whole roll! Once in place on the window, getting air bubbles out completely is utterly impossible and any creases in the film show up straight away and cannot be removed. This was an absolute waste of time and I will be sending back the remaining two rolls for a refund. Just a shame I can't be refunded the hour of my time I wasted on this shambles of a product!

I bought this for my aquarium. Easy to apply and good quality. For the price a bargain. Would recommend.
