Coavas One Way Privacy Window Film, Daytime Window Film See Out Not in, Reflective Window Tint Heat Blocking, Static Cling Non-Adhesive for Home Office, 17.7 x 78.7 inches

I was a bit skeptical about these when I read some of the reviews that said this was hard to apply, but I figured for $10 bucks a pop, I would give it a try. The quality of this vinyl is very good. The vinyl is much thicker than I expected, and the pattern is actually textured onto the vinyl. I have two large windows on my back doors, and I have had a neighbor snooping around behind my house, so it was time do to something. This was easier to install and more affordable than blinds or curtains. I followed the directions carefully, which included removing the protective plastic sheet from the inside of the film, cleaning the window very well beforehand, and using water spray on both the vinyl and the window before applying. This process was very easy, but do it when you have time to be patient.My tips for installation.* I had also purchased a special felt squeegee kit (HTVRONT brand) for about $9 with sprayer bottle and exacto knives to help with the installation, and that made it much easier--worth the money to get that. I know some others have mentioned using a credit card as a squeegee, but I think it would be more difficult considering the textured pattern on the vinyl.*Measure the window to determine the size you need and then cut the vinyl before removing the protective film. My only complaint about this product is that there are no gridlines on the back to facilitate straight line cutting.*If the vinyl isn't where you want it to be, you can reposition if you have used a lot of water, and if not, remove it, add more water, and reapply.*Use a lot of water spray on the window and on the decal. If you have a decent squeegee, and I found this worked great with a felt squeegee, you will remove all the excess water. Once the vinyl was positioned where I wanted it on the glass, I spent a lot of time squeegeeing from the center of the vinyl to the outside, and then I would use a towel to wipe away the water that came out from the sides. In this way, I was able to remove ALL bubbles under the vinyl. It takes a bit of time but it totally worth it.*Before you finish squeegeeing, try looking at the vinyl in different lights and angles so you can find any bubbles you didn't see initially. Then squeegee them out.From start to finish, including measuring and cutting, it took me about 45 minutes to install these on the two windows. Several days later, even with crazy temperature variations outside, it is stuck fast with no peeling or bubbling and looks fantastic.What I like the most about this privacy solution is that if I change my mind about having that window covered at another time, I could easily remove the film.Highly recommended.

Got these to help keep a room that is east-facing cool and they work like a charm. Pretty simple to install, be sure to use a spray bottle to wet the window for the easiest installation. They work great for keeping people from seeing into the house as well. Guessing they will help with minimal heat loss in the winter, but it's still summer and super hot here.

Installation was conceptually easy. For larger windows it helped a lot to have a second person. The end result looks very nice.The marketing claims that it reduces 90% of UV light. That sounded way too good to be true. So, I measured it myself. I found a 36% reduction, at least in the 405 nm +/- 3% range. This range is important for those working with UV-curing resins.

Product as promised, easy to work with.

Ha I g done research on a lot of tints I decided to try this one based on other reviews of this product. We needed something for our sliding glass doors on our back to help with the sun shining into our house. This tint is absolutely amazing. Usually it’s the one area where my cats love to lay in the sun but because this tint helps so much there isn’t any sun for the cats to lay in. It’s like it’s completely shaded. It helps with the cost of electricity aswell. From the outside of the house all you see it’s reflection. Even when the light is on inside you can not see inside the house. The shipping was fast and it’s easy to read the directions to put up. I would recommend 4 hands are better than one when putting this up. It was easier to have one person peels the plastic back while the other aligns it unless you’re doing small windows.

First I think it's important to mention this in fact does help with cooling and UV reflection. Using an infrared thermometer around the treated window and an untreated window there are significant differences in internal temperature of the house, approximately 15 degrees difference. That is substantial enough to say it's worth it. My issues are cosmetic mostly, this stuff is thick, hard to work with and the worst part for me scratches. Even using a squeegee I have scratches all through the new tint due to installation. I soaped up the area before squeegeeing and it still left scratches. That alone is extremely frustrating, I will have to reorder another roll, because one roll did 1.5 windows, so that was a little unfortunate an extra 8 inches on a roll would have allowed for two whole decent size windows (36x61). For continuity I will get another roll to finish out my upstairs but I will likely not order this for my other windows downstairs. The exterior is very silver, again cosmetic, not a huge fan, but the temperature difference alone lets me overlook that. I would give this overall 3.5 stars due to the scratching but the effectiveness of UV transmission or lack thereof is worth it.
