Essort Window Film Self-Adhesive Roll One-Way Window Film UV Privacy Window Film for Windows Rental Apartment Bedroom Kitchen Heat Control Blocker Retaining No Glue Black 60x400cm/24x158inch

Bought for my workroom in the garden that I use a computer in. Previously even with the paper blinds from IKEA plus a set of middling blackout curtains, had to work in the semi dark in summer to see the screen without reflections. Also heat build up between window and curtains meant room got very hot very quickly. Have fitted this film and instantly temperature in room lowered as most of the suns heat is reflected off. What i didn't expect was the total lack of glare now from the sun which means I'm not working in dark anymore but can have sun full on windows and no reflections in my display which is far more comfortable a working environment. Room still gets hot because its hot outside, but its much more bearable and temperature lower. Difference between inside and the outside (Surface of window) is bigger so when 40c outside its 27c in here when before it was 30 and I was sitting in the dark,Downsides? Its tricky to handlenand I got the best results when i took the windows off and applied film flat. You will probably never get a totally perfect mirror finish, but its prrety good if you apply it carefully.This is how I applied it:Cut the film to size. it cuts easily but you get best results with a long metal straight edge and a craft knifeThoroughly cleaned windows including the very edges with a window cleaner and polished drySoaked glass (It goes on the inside!) with a mixture of 10 parts water to 1 party washing up liquidFor my smaller windows I could peel the backing off (The clear sheet) and then lay the mirror side which the backing was protecting, directly on the water. Though the backing makes it curl up, when you've removed the backing, it stops curling and as its not got adhesive on it, you can handle it easily then. With the washing up liquid in it, the film floats on this water and you can roughly position it. If it sticks to the glass early then peel up carefully and slosh a bit more water under.Now for the important bit. You musnt stretch or crease the film but you have to use a squeedgee (A fabric covered one came with the film) to get all the water out from under it. Until ALL the water is removed, the film will not stick properly. Took me about ten minutes to do this bit for each window, working form the centre out and re going over bits. I had a wad of kitchen paper to blot up the excess water and found it relatively easy but had to watch out for the film sliding in to the wrong place.I had cut the film to the right size on all but one window and found trimming the excess on that one window hard as without being trimmed, there was no seal between the glass and the film. If you cut it on the frame, its not going to stay in place! Air will get in the gaps and it will peel off.Final effect is very good, anti glare and reduces heat. there are a few pinpricks from dust that got trapped but its worked very well. You can remove it and store it but without being able to perfectly stick it to the backing sheet again, i reckon it would damage the mirror finish.I think the biggest advantage is that whenever i use the room, summer or not, I get the benefit of the anti glare on my computer display. Highly recommended.

I bought two rolls of this to cover the windows in my conservatory. The double glazing units are shot and the conservatory is the right temperature about twice a year...outside that is either too cold or far too hot. My conservatory is also overlooked by neighbour's garden.I thought that the privacy, cooler temperature and the fact that this would partially hide the windows that have a bit of condensation inside them was worth a go at using this stuff.The first window I tried was a nightmare, the stuff creased and would not lie flat on the window at all. A bit disheartened and 45 minutes later I attempted the second window, wondering whether or not to return the second roll. Fortunately it took no more than 5 minutes! The secret...more water...don't be shy, make sure the entire surface of the window is wet and allows you to move the covering into place. Peeling off large sheets of the backing is also a bit of a faff, but once peeled back squirt a bit of water on the film surface to help. The instructions are brief, but fine..they don't emphasise enough the need for a scrupulously clean window and plenty of water though. The little tool that it comes with to smooth it out is surprisingly good.The film does it was it says, the room is cooler and the privacy part works really well and it does hide the defective double glazed units. I haven't been able to get them completely crease free and it does start to come away on the edges after a few days. It does go back down, but seems to need a few attempts over several days to get it looking better again.

Fits really well. Easy to use once you watch some YouTube clips so you know exactly what to do. Hardest bit is trimming to fit. Good quality. They look great and no more nosey people glaring into my living room!

It’s alright for what it is.It’s definitely not professional grade technology but it works. I needed it to help with the bright afternoon sun in my daughters bedroom. It took me a few hours to put it up as the window consist of 16 small rectangular pieces so I had to individually cut them in.It was impossible to fold it into the edges to cut it to size so I had to estimate the size in advance. It might be my inexperience but I work as a general builder so I have a sense for these sort of things.It is super shiny on the outside so definitely helps with privacy. It also reduced the average temperature on sunny days by about 3-4 Celsius degrees so it worked for what I needed it for.One disadvantage is the reduced light. And I mean it’s a LOT darker. I expected it to darken the room but now it’s almost like I gotta put lights on during the day to see.All in all it worked, but looks ugly(lots of scratches with the tool they provided and not being able to cut it to perfect size means there are gaps around it).

No matter how much water I applied it would bubble up once it had been left for a while. It isn't scratch resistant as stated in the add either. I used a condos film fabric covered card thing and it is covered in scratches. Awful to look through. I'm angry as I bought 3 rolls of this. Total waste of money and no way to contact the seller. Not fit for purpose.

I put these up in Sept. and I have saved on heating. Even now at -3c, the living room( where I sleep) is a constant 71c. My boiler temp. is at 55c,and the output is 71c. Plus the one way is great too. 10/10 all round. I recommend this!!!!

Super leicht anzubringende Folie und hält auch. Super wärme isolierend am Dachfenster.

Buena protección

ottimo prodotto ma da applicare riserva qualche difficoltà se non si è esperti e non si utilizza la superficie abbondantemente bagnata.Il risultato è molto bello ma anche efficace su finestre dove batte il sole

Facile à appliquer et de très bonne qualité. Livré avec un outil pour enlever les bulles d'air. Efficace et réfléchi bien la lumière

Acquistato in quanto davanti la mia finestra del bagno hanno costituito condominio alla minima distanza di legge. Semplicemente fondamentale per la privacy della mia famiglia. Facile da applicare ed efficace di giorno. Occhio che di notte ha effetto contrario ma è normale per questa tipologia di prodotto. La parte avanzata l'ho usata nelle bocche di lupo della cantina.
