HIDBEA One Way Window Film, Daytime Privacy Sun Blocking Reflective Window Film No Glue Static Cling Heat Control Window Tinting Film for Home and Office, Black Silver, 23.6 x 78.7 Inch

I got this for my sliding glass door in my bedroom that is in direct sun. It blocks the sun and keeps the room cooler in the summer. It was easy to install and it is easy to clean. I like that it is a privacy film. I can have the curtain open and not worry about the nosy neighbors peeking in. Looks good inside and out. Let’s just enough light in.

I just installed this film on my living room windows. It’s great quality . I followed the instructions and took my time to clean my windows first, cut extra 2 inches longer than actual windows size for adjustments. , the first window took longer time, when I got a little experience,it became easier for other windows. Guess what? They are 100% privacy protected. My kids and I went outside and tried to see through the window film, we couldn’t see anything.inside the house. We are very satisfied with the film.By the way, this film works great only for the daytime, not the nighttime, . You will need curtains for the privacy in the night.

Even though the product clearly states that the One Way Mirror only works in sunshine, I did not notice that part so I am commenting so someone else doesn't expect it to work at night also. Other than that, this is a nice product and installed fairly easily. Note: It's not 100% blocking if someone is looking up close, but from standing a few feet away, it does provide privacy.

When I received this product it seemed a little intimidating because I am not savvy with tools and DIY projects. When I opened the packaging the instructions were right there and very easy to understand. Once I got all the tools I needed together, measured the window and cut the sheet to size it was time to put it on the window. Make sure you clean the window prior to installation. With my experience the only difficult step was removing the protective film from the sheet. After you remove the film and spray both the window and sheet with water you can place the sheet on the window and adjust it to area you need it. Once you have the sheet in place you use an old credit card to remove any excess water and dry. From start to finish the installation took me about 30 minutes but I’m sure someone with better handy man skills than myself can finish it sooner. The product serves its purpose and blocks view from the outside and may easily be removed if needed. Definitely recommend this product.

I don’t know why I keep buying from Amazon, but when I needed a quick fix for my sliding doors I thought “why not?” But boy, do I wish I did anything else. I’ve stuck vinyl on widows and things before, but this one is a pain. It comes rolled up with a clear acetate which is a pain to peel and is staticky so it will gather pet fur and dust before try to peel it back from the window when applying. You also need an obscene amount of window cleaner to get this vinyl to stick- if you think one or two pumps of cleaner will due, you’re wrong.if you don’t use enough the edges will peel giving it an unsightly appearance and you will have to redo the entire sheet. I got a little better at sticking this with time, so some of this is user error, but for all that is good it shouldn’t have been that difficult. If you’re a vinyl god and everything works for you, the application looks very nice. It does have a polished, frosted look which is pleasing and still lets lots of light in, but good luck getting it on that way and not going crazy!

Once applied, this film adds a really nice touch to any glass surface facing out. Additionally, privacy in a home with a lot of glass is greatly increased. Now that my wife and I have a taste of the actual effect and the minimal effort involved, we will be adding some nice design touches to many of our remaining windows. They also eliminate the need for overly expensive drapes and open up a new avenue for window ‘decoration.”

En los 4 meses que esta película lleva puesta ya me ha roto tres cristales y son grandes 3x1.54 mts. Cuando les dá directo el sol como que se encogen y quiebra el vidrio. Cambiar cada cristal me cuesta 1,500 así que ahí evalúen

Al principio creimos que estaba muy oscuro el cuarto, pero es genial que el sol no te pegue en la cara, la calidad del vynil es muy bueno.

Les recomiendo ver el video de youtube para entender del todo como ponerla, puesto que las instrucciones puede confundir un poco, pero tampoco son 100% confusa. En cuanto a la película, está muy bien. Llevo meses con ella y no se ha despegado, cumple su función.Recordad qué si hay mucha luz fuera puedes ver a través, pero si hay luz dentro los de fuera pueden ver a través, para tener cuidado al bañarse en la noche jajaa

This was easy to install given you have the right tools (spray bottle for soapy water, plastic scraper, xacto knife). I installed it on my patio door so that nosey neighbors can't see inside. Please use a scraper that does not scratch because it will scratch up the surface. I used a rubbery ruler which helped to minimize the scratches when removing bubbles.

Put this film on the hottest windows and it stopped the room from heating up great. Also good for privacy during the day.
