Privacy Window Film: Translucent Static Cling Treatment for Home Security and Decorative Frosted Glass Effect - No Residue, Heat Control, UV Prevention, Easy Removal (Winter Frost, 17.5 x 160 inches)

I cut the film to fit exactly (30 x 41) because I was installing on a skylight over my head. The hardest part was getting a lot of it clinging to the glass at once and then repositioning it. This is probably the hardest installation possible (standing on the top of a six foot ladder with your head in a skylight.) Once I realized I could keep part of the film in place I could position the rest accurately and then adjust the first part to the correct position. On a door or window this would be stupid easy. I used a credit card as a squeegee with many small strokes to remove the water underneath the film. This worked fine. On traditional window tint this would not be fine as it would certainly damage the film. This vinyl film us much thicker and it does not stick to itself like traditional window tint. This is MUCH easier to handle. And if it all goes wrong there is no damage and you can simply start over again. I did not know what to expect exactly but I am very happy with the results and the material is a piece of cake to use and reuse. The installed film looks great and the light sparkles as it comes through. The illumination is broad and gentle giving a pleasing light to the room. The heat is stopped and the UV is stopped. This is a terrific window film. I am buying more to use on more skylights (that I had not thought to do before.) PS This is quite the glowing review but it is legit. This stuff is cheap and works great. Their warranty actually is no surprise, after my experience with it. They say no questions asked money back and you keep the film. That says a lot about this stuff.

I used this for the sidelights by my front door. It does an excellent job letting in light but giving me the privacy I want. The directions to cut and install were excellent and everything worked quite well. However, I learned a couple of things in the process that should help you with a better result. 1. Measure very carefully the actual dimensions of your glass, and then cut the film about 1/8" less than your measurement. This will give you about 1/16" on each side that will allow you to accommodate the natural variances in the window (I learned quickly that the window glazing etc. is never perfectly straight).2. When you cut the film, it is best to use a straight edge (long metal ruler etc.) and cut with fresh single-edged razor blade or new X-acto knife. This will give you a very clean cut with much less risk of ripping that might happen with a utility knife.3. Make sure your window is VERY clean ... you don't want any dust or lint particles from your cloth ... microfiber is good. OR, if you have an eCloth or Norwex cloth, those work really well.4. Apply the water/soap mixture liberally to the film before applying ... the wetter the film, the easier it will be to maneuver into place. So yes, make sure you have rags on the floor under the window!5. Work the water and air bubbles out from the center moving outward, focusing on the upper part of the film first and then slowly work down. If you make sure your top edges are aligned, the bottom will work itself out (and people will notice imperfections near the top far more than any at the bottom!). Above all, take your time.6. Finally, if you discover that an edge of the film overlaps some of your glazing or wood, don't try to cut it while the film is still wet because you'll just rip it; wait for it to dry so you can make a clean, sharp cut. As long as you have worked out all the water and air bubbles, it should adhere very nicely to your glass.

So.. I really do love this film with one major drawback unfortunately. Arrived quickly. Was intimidated at first, thought I was gonna mess it up. After starting first window application was actually a breeze. Its absolutely beautiful and really want to like it an here's where the drawback comes in... I had asked before ordering the rainbow frost if it would be okay for houseplants(was told it should be fine) in theory it could if I put all my plants up to the window now which unfortunately I dont have the room for. The ones by the window are doing great but the further back they get the more leaves are starting to drop. I should have stuck with my gut and went with the white frost instead. As much as I love this film I think for my plants Im going to have to take it down and take that loss. Really unfortunate because I do really like everything else about it.

I'm replacing Contact paper that had been applied to our basement windows for privacy purposes. The previous paper did not allow much light in. This does, while providing privacy at the same time. And it's very easy to install. Just cut to size, clean the windows, spray with water/dish soap solution, and squeegee out the air bubbles. It's simple and very gratifying! Quality materials.

Good quality easy to install

The media could not be loaded.  The Rainbow Effect Window Film is FASCINATING. Changes colours depending on where you view it from/the time of day (more blue-pink during the day, and purple-gold at night). Casts gorgeous colours onto nearby walls/fixtures when it's light out. My only qualm is that it lets in less sunlight than I'd hoped, but filling the room with beautiful colours instead is what keeps this review at 5 stars.Extremely easy to install: it is not sticky at all, so it won't stick to itself/you/the cat while trying to put on. Instead, it relies on water + dishsoap to stick, which means that it can be moved around plenty to get the perfect positioning before it dries. Instructions on the back are precise and helpful. Very easy to get bubbles out, if they happen, and while it will not come off on its own, it is very easy to take off and put back on if need be.

Very pleased and really cool effects depending on lighting
