XIAWEI One Way Privacy Window Film Heat & UV Blocking, 17.5In×6.5Ft

Purchased for our front storm door. Our home faces south east and the afternoon sun is very strong on the front of our home. I could never leave our front door open to see outside in the afternoon because of the intense heat. This window film helps cut down that heat substantially. Installation was straight forward. Cut the material to fit your window and follow the directions. Removing bubbles and creases was quite easy. (again, follow the directions) It is one way privacy, so you can see out but no one can see inside. It is reflective but not mirrored.

After a nosey neighbor rang the doorbell then looked in the window to see if I was coming, I knew a film was going up!!! The pictures attached are with the all black film. No mirror side. It does what it is supposed to. All the tools were included, but I used a felt edge scraper reading about how easy it scratches. Which it does. I was finished, wiping smears off with a kitchen towel and scratched the heck out of it. I had to replace a pane of film. Lesson learned. The backing is hard to peel off. Other films had an edge to separate the two. Not this, but for the price and function I can't complain!!! It is what it is. It looks nice and the visibility looking out is fine. No one can see in either. Be sure to break your blade off frequently for it dulls quickly.

This film is very helpful in keeping heat out! We live in Florida and the sun beats down on this side of our house. We put film on the top windows and can tell a 10 degree difference in the room temperature. The quality of film is great and it’s very dark but you can see out. It is easy to apply but I gave it 4 stars because it’s hard to get the film apart if you have to cut the film for each window like I did. The main thing you need to do is make sure you have absolutely nothing on your window like dry paint, dirt, or silicone or this stuff bubbles and peels up. We’ve had this up for about a month and our electric bill is slightly lower. I would absolutely recommend!

This film was fairly easy to install. I would recommend a second person, although I did it myself. If you have large windows or doors you may need help. I appreciate that all the tools needed came with the product! The appearance is not terrible, but for some reason I could not get every bubble out even after squeegying over several times! It was a bit difficult to hold up the film and apply it and pull the protective covering off. Hence the second person may be needed. Visibility wise you can see well through the film. It gives a great tint. The room i installed this in cooled down considerably after installing. Thickness is standard i suppose for this material. It was really easy to cut using the small blade provided. Not sure how well or how long it will last but for now it works great!

Ya not so easy to install. The bubbles are sooooo hard to smooth out. Definitely a two man job. So in order to get the bubbles out of the corner, you have to pull the film off of the window.And then when you're putting it back on the window, when it's clinging, you have to be smoothing it and reclinging it to the window at the same time, otherwise you cannot just put it on, and then think you're gonna smooth the bubbles out, because my husband's been doing one corner for ten minutes.And it doesn't want to smooth out.This is not as easy as we thought it was gonna be.The video that it shows the description on how to install it.It must be AI because it's not real. It keeps drying out really fast.You have to continuously spray spray spray spray spray, smooth spray smooth.It is monotonous, and it gives you pain and cramps in your arms. But the blackout feature looks pretty good

The reflective film is a game changer! I didnt think it would make as much difference as it does. I have windows in my kitchen that are west facing and the afternoon sun is brutal. Blinds havent helped much so I gave reflective film a try. I was putting it up in the afternoon, and even before it was properly applied I could feel the difference just standing in front of it! Its worth noting that this is a simple but extremely tedious process. If you dont use enough soap: bubbles. Dont use a decent squegee to smooth it out: bubbles. Dirt on the glass: bubbles. Dont get the protective film off? Doesn't stick properly AND bubbles. It takes time, and its tedious to do it properly, but its so so worth it. Ive added a pic of two windows taken at the same time, one with film and one without and you can see the brightness difference. The heat difference is even more impressive. Get the film, buy a decent squegee, and youll be set.

Window frosting works as intended. Let's the light pass through but obscures the view. If you're looking for a cheap fix to end a shower peep show in your apartment, this is it. If you want privacy in you million dollar home though, this will look like a cheap fix- buy factory frosted windows instead. I put it in my shower window and it's held up well for two years now. While It still adheres, it has shown signs of mildew growth around the bottom edge that gets the most water. I think of it like a shower curtain liner in that it needs replaced ever so often due to the wet environment. For windows in dry areas though, it lasts indefinitely. I put it on my half glass entry door but left a slit i can still look through, which from the outside is almost unnoticeable. If you have a removable window grid, take it out and install over the whole glass panel, then reinstall the grid.

Definitely recommend doing this as a two person job. The film will cling to itself if you’re not careful and then it’s a real pain to fix it from there. In hindsight, probably should’ve spent more for a better product.

Good cover but be careful and check your technique

Definitely dark inside when overcast but makes a massive difference to glare and gives me privacy going to be a game changer for summer as it will be expected to hit over 40 degrees celcius in Sydney. Images I have is a side by side in the difference from inside to out. Super simple to do it myself been in for a few weeks now and it’s holding up great.

Entregador disse não ter ninguém em casa. Nesse, dia por motivo de saúde, a casa não ficou nenhum momento sem ninguém. Mentira descarada. Além disso, meu condomínio tem porteiro 24h/dia.

Was hoping to avoid any and all adhesive residue on the windows, this won't work well for windows as it still lets in a lot of light. We were however able to make use of it for dimming a night light slightly.

As indicated in the instruction, the more water the better. Then installation is pretty straightforward. It does reduce light and heat noticeably as promised.
