Gila 3 ft. x 15 ft. Titanium Heat Control Window Film

Estaba un poco dudosa de que fuera a funcionar, la oficina es grande y tiene muchas ventanas donde da directo el sol. Probamos con las ventanas que pegan más fuerte, hicimos changuitos y me sorprendió de muy buena forma que si haya reducción del calor, ya no se siente tan bochornoso como antes, así que puedo decir que a mi, me funcionó. Tanto que ya pedí más para cubrir las otras ventanas y así lograr que el calor se reduzca de la oficina. No soy una experta en poner películas de vidrio, es toda una experiencia así que por los grumitos que me quedaron no me voy a quejar. Si no hubiese llamado a un experto. De hecho es muy divertido ponerlo. Con un líquido de esos que limpian las ventanas que venden en tiendas, un cutter y una gomita de películas para ventanas que venden en la tlapalería ya la hiciste.

I've used these on a few windows in my house along with the windows on my garage door to reject heat and improve privacy. This film does have a silver reflective color - so you need to make sure that part goes with whatever house decor you have. The film works very well to reduced the heat load. While putting this on the windows (which I recommend doing when the sun isn't shining right through them) you could feel the heat difference once the film was in place. Installation is what it is. It's not difficult, but it's not super easy. The instructions are very clear. You just have to follow them. You will make a bit of a mess with the water/soap mixture as it gets most things pretty wet. Have some towels to dry that up. A super sharp knife is a must. It takes a few days for the water behind the film to evaporate and the view through the film is crystal clear. This is something that you can do DIY, but you have to be patient while doing it. A bad film job (i.e., bubbles) is worse than no film at least visually. Once it's up, it rejects a lot of heat and protects things from UV fading.

This film really does reduce the heat coming in through the windows, especially in the hot summer. It does add a slight color to the windows and reduces the amount of light coming in, but not enough to interfere with enjoying the daylight! Easy to cut and install once you get the hang if it. Practice on a smaller window first! Also, during the day, from the outside the windows will look like mirrors so people can't see in, which is great for privacy! At night, though, when the light is coming from inside the house, it reverses and anyone outside can see in! Just something to be aware of!

Really good quality and cuts out a lot of sun rays … used them on my garage door glass … awesome

Wanted to apply a tint to my home/office window to reduce UV and heat transmission during the day (live in sunny SW USA). Never installed a window tint, but it looked like something I might be able to do myself (for just one set of windows). Gila got decent reviews and price was reasonable. Also ordered a tint application kit (mainly squeegees and stuff to help squeeze out bubbles) - probably a must. Make yourself the spray solution of dilute baby shampoo. Plenty of videos out there to help with window prep and install - these are pretty essential to knowing what to expect and what to do. Install during the day will help with visualizing water/air bubbles and squeezing them out. I installed in the evening, and it got dark out for the second window install. Harder to see the tint. A second pair of hands is pretty essential too. I had a 9 year old pair help for the first window which went well. Thought I could try myself for the second window, and ended up folding the tint onto itself and getting some permanent creases into the tint... learn from my mistake and keep a second pair around (even a 9 yo pair of hands is indispensable for beginners)! ALSO: make sure your utility knife is SHARP! I used the same blade for both windows, and it started to get dull on the second window, tearing the tint in some places rather than cutting clean. This was very frustrating. In the end, was a successful install. Most bubbles were squeezed out, and what tiny residual bubbles that were left dried out over the next few days as well. Tint is clear and feels suitably thick and durable to my inexperienced eyes and fingers. Very noticeable reduction in heat, which I am super happy with. My main minor quibble would be that there's a pretty noticeable blue tint. Gila is apparently widely available at big box home improvement stores, so if this is a concern, you should take a look at it yourself to see if you like it. I did not and this is a minor regret. TLDR: VERY noticeable reduction in heat transmission! Nice clear tint after successful install, but with a noticeable blue tint. Watch videos. Make sure your windows are CLEAN before install. Install during day if you can. Get a second pair of hands to help also. Change blades often.
