Arthome 17.5 Inch x 6.5 Feet,Silve, One Way Window Privacy Film Daytime Privacy Window Tint for Home Anti UV Static Cling Heat Control Reflective Glass Film for Home and Office

After reading a lot of reviews we settled on this reflective tint and are very happy with the decision. We have an enclosed porch in Texas that gets very hot in the summer heat. It is basically a huge sunroom full of windows but it has had to become my office in this Covid world. This tint has helped tremendously and we haven’t even finished installing it on every window yet. I admit it is not a perfect product. It does take some time and patience to install, but if you use plenty of the soap water and also buy an installation kit that has some additional squeegees as others have suggested, it is manageable for 2 people. I really like that it doesn’t have an adhesive on it so it is forgiving. It also does not have a perfectly clear finish so if you’re installing it on a huge window with a gorgeous view that you don’t want to blemish, then you might want to get something more professional. For us, it is perfect. It reflects light and reduces the heat coming in, is fine to look through and easy enough to install and at a decent price.

First off I am hyper-independent, so I did this myself. The first window looks a bit rough but I got the hang of it there and was able to do the other French door window and front door perfectly. Make sure you have all the tools ready and some painters tape. I used the painters tape as an extra set of hands to hold the film in place while I worked it. Second, my backyard gets pretty direct afternoon sun but I like being able to see out, so this film helped with privacy and keeping the heat down. Plus my pets can still out. As for the front window, its convenient to have but I didn’t want everyone who came to the door to see in.

Okay, so it is pretty easy to do a fairly good job applying this film, but I think it is somewhat difficult to do a perfect job on it. It is easy to goof up trimming the corners, which leads to a small amount of bubbling, or areas where you accidentally trimmed a hair too much and have clear glass at the edges. We won't install this on the one window that would probably make the biggest difference keeping our den cool in the afternoon, because it is a huge sliding glass door that gives us our best view of our back yard, and the sunsets, and the film causes a very slight amount of distortion that would detract from the view. But we did install it on our south facing windows, and the effect is amazing! A good amount of light still comes through, but not nearly as much heat as before.

I have always used a darker privacy film in the past. Thought this would be great for the winter but after I put it on it makes my window look dirty. Removed it after a week because it was just not "clear" but the view was slightly distorted. Will not buy silver again.

My favorite window darkening film. This is sturdy and easy to work with.

Product had multiple defects that created issues with end installation on glass door. 1). Unrolling revealed surface scratches from the factory. 2). This too had roller dimples as did the other rolls I purchased and had to return. 3). Many creases were found when unrolling.

I have vintage double hung windows with 6 individual panes in each half. I cut one large piece to cover the entire area with glass. I tried several ways to hang it but ened up using a staple gun to attach it across the top, sides and botoom to keep the edges fairly flush with the wood. The windows face south and it cuts the temp 15-20° at the inside on the window. Since I do not have central air conditioning it makes it a lot easier to keep the room cool with a window air conditioner when the temp on the inside of the glass used to get to 94° before 10am on hot days. I also keep the heavy drapes closed when I'm not using that room. When the drapes are open there is plenty of light. So far I've done 4 windows 52x27 in one second floor bedroom. It's been up through two 1-week heat waves and I'm very pleased. I know this is not the prescribed application, but it works well for me and was not difficult to install. I was careful to put the side with the protective film to face the sun, then pulled the film down gradually as I attached the top, then the sides. Do not take off all the film off at once. Only release a few inches to attach the top first. It is not unsightly from the outside because it is mostly reflective of the sky when seen from ground level.

I'm on my second roll of this film It is not adhesive-based, which is good. It's been on a couple windows for over a year and no issues, no bubbling, hasn't come off. The film is on our west-facing side which gets blasted with summer sun. You can tell the difference as soon as you hold up the film. It's fairly obvious from outside that there is a film on the window. It's not a total mirror reflection, but noticeable, and that's fine. At times it just looks darker with a reflection. It's not too dark to distract from looking out. Like any film, it can be a pain to work with (measure, cut, soap, bubbles, etc). Definitely apply in shade. I ran late and ended up with some application in the sun and it dries out the soap/water too quickly and makes installation more difficult.

I installed it on two windows in my bedroom to reduce sunlight and it has been amazing. It was surprisingly easy to install, I just followed a YouTube tutorial and it comes with a squeegie and a cutter. Definitely doesn't need professional installation like some people said and it tooke. Less than half an hour to install on two windows

Very hard to install and it doesn’t look good at the end. But it does their job.

ENTREGA: Me llegó antes de la fecha comprometida, bien empacado. Trae las herramientas necesarias para la instalación (una cinta métrica, cutter y un plástico auxiliar) GENERAL: Pueden ver en las fotos que realmente refleja como si fuera espejo, ayuda a captar rayos del sol y reduce la iluminación y la temperatura. Todo lo anterior es muy notable a simple vista y tacto, eso me agradó. Continúa leyendo para evaluar los comentarios negativos de los demás... INSTALACIÓN: Creo que aquí es donde la mayoría se queja del producto. 1. Es un plástico sin pegamento, unilateral (es decir, solo es de una vista), enrollado. 2. Para colocarlo, RECOMIENDO, enrollarlo pero a la inversa para "aplanarlo" lo más posible y que sea más fácil. 3. Ve videos de cómo instalarlo, pero en resumen sigue los siguientes pasos: A. Limpia perfectamente tus vidrios procurando no dejar polvo, marcos y áreas cercanas al vidrio y deja que se seque B. Prepara una mezcla de agua jabonosa en un atomizador (yo utilicé detergente de trastes Sal-vo) B.1 Aprox... 100 ml de jabón + 900 de agua LIMPIA C. Desenrolla tu plástico, toma medidas de tu ventana, y recomiendo dejar un margen de 3 cm de cada lado. D. Ya con tu plástico recortado, preséntalo en tu vidrio, es decir, solo sobreponlo (recomiendo usar unos diurex o algo pegados al marco, NUNCA AL VIDRIO) F. Ya que estés seguro que las medidas se aproximan a las de tu ventana (dejando tu excedente que te recomendé, ten a la mano tu atomizador, tu cutter, el plástico guía que viene en el paquete y una servitoalla de cocina o trapo de microfibra para secar tus manos y el plástico del exceso de humedad, créeme, te hará falta. G. REVISA cuál es el lado que vas a pegar, desprende el plástico protector e inmediatamente después vierte tu agua jabonosa tanto en el vidrio como en la cara de tu plástico que vas a pegar al vidrio. H. Vierte todavía más agua jabonosa en ambos lados cuidando que no se pegue tu plástico entre sí :P I. El plástico aparenta estar bien recortado, por lo que te recomiendo utilizar los lados rectos cortados de fábrica y colocar ese lado muy justo de un borde que tú elijas (te recomiendo hacerlo al borde más complicado, por ejemplo, donde está la manija o donde están las agarraderas para abrir tu ventana) J. Trata de pegar tu plástico sin arrugarlo y sin dejar tanta burbuja usando sólo tus manos K. Con tu plástico guía, saca el agua y burbujas de aire siempre yendo de adentro hacia afuera aplicando un poco de presión. Evidentemente saldrá mucha agua jabonosa y puedes terminar empapado, seca tus manos y el plástico guía cuantas veces necesites. L. Corta el exceso del plástico presionando la guía hacia los bordes de tu vidrio y recargando tu cutter, retira el exceso de plástico ya cortado y vuelve a intentar sacar las burbujas de aire y agua. NOTAS: +En ocasiones no te será posible que se quede completamente pegado en las esquinas, para eso te recomiendo tener a la mano unas tijeras filosas y cortar esa pequeña esquina en forma de triángulo, eso facilitará que el resto del plástico permanezca bien adherido al vidrio. +Instala tu plástico antes o después de que le dé directamente el sol, es decir, cuando tu vidrio esté "tibio" o a temperatura ambiente +Sino cortas al margen tu plástico, se irá desprendiendo en los primeros 2 o 3 minutos después de que lo hayas puesto, te recomiendo estar al pendiente y mantenerte intentado pegarlo o revisar en dónde están tus excedentes +Te recomiendo ampliamente instalarlo primero en una ventana que no te importe mucho (una cocina por ejemplo) para que pruebes la complejidad y habilidades necesarias que requieres +Puede instalarlo 1 persona, sin embargo, entre 2 es mucho más fácil.

Super produit, facile à mettre en place c’est un vrai plus
