SUNBABY One Way Window Privacy Film, Heat Blocking Window Tint, 17.5"x78.7"

Highly reflective and highly effective at reducing the solar heat coming into the house. It was relatively easy to apply by myself even with the larger size required for the door. Although, it certainly would have been easier with a 2nd pair of hands. As long as you take your time cutting and measure as often as necessary, you will find the tint applies easily and is easy to remove and reset while still in the application process. Use a sharp knife, the one included looks like it will work just fine but clip the blade often. The blade will dull very quickly and give you problems as you're trying to trim the tint. Keep the blade sharp, spray plenty of soapy water! I didn't use the tools included but they were there and looked ok. I used a tint installation kit that I purchased last year.

The material feels very high quality, durable, and has a rather elegant, mirror-like finish. During the day, it offers excellent privacy: from the outside, you can't see inside, but from the inside, the view to the outside is clear and comfortable, which I loved.Another big plus is its ability to block heat and UV rays. After installing it, I noticed a real difference in the room's temperature, especially during the hottest hours of the day. The room stays cooler and more comfortable, which even helps reduce air conditioning use.Installation was much easier than I expected. Since it's a static cling film without adhesive, you only need water and the included tools. It went on perfectly, without bubbles or wrinkles, and the best part is that it can be removed without leaving any residue if you ever want to change it.Besides being functional, it significantly improves the appearance of the windows, giving the home a modern touch. I consider it an excellent investment for the price, both for the privacy it provides and the energy savings it offers.

I ordered three rolls. These rolls have a pretty thick film. Reminds me of the older phone screen protectors and apples similarly. The measuring and cutting was the most annoying bit, but once that was done the film went up with ease. The tools were contained inside the tube and included a small squeegee, a small blade, and a spray bottle. We had a larger squeegee and spray bottle that made applying easier and faster. I’d recommend being generous with the spray when installing. Removing the film is a chore if you’re trying to do it while you install. So if you can cut it before and remove the film that will be simpler. Gave it 4 stars because the color choices are a bit confusing. I ordered black, but it looks like all of them are mirror looking from the outside and whatever color you select for the inside. At night you can see into a lit area even if the film is there, so this film still needs to be used with blinds or curtains if you want privacy. For the price longevity isn’t the goal. Just need this film to get me through this hot out the box summer so my electric bill isn’t crazy.

Our house is positioned in a way that the morning sunlight comes directly through our front door, and every time when opened the door, the heat was overwhelming. I searched for something that could help keep the heat out and ended up trying this product—and I highly recommend it!Since installing it, the heat coming through the door has reduced significantly, and it also provides great privacy. The only thing to keep in mind is that at night, if you have the lights on, you can see everything from the outside.I did have a little trouble installing the film because I’m a perfectionist, and a few air bubbles were showing. The good thing is that you can lift the film and reposition it until you get it right. Compared to the other two privacy films I bought for my windows—which have been a nightmare because I can barely see through them—this one is definitely the winner. I may end up removing the other films once summer is over, but this one is staying!It has held up really well, even with the sun hitting it directly every morning. It looks good, provides privacy, and has made a noticeable difference with the monthly electric bill. I’m very happy with this purchase!

I am so pleased with the look from outside of my house that the privacy window tint gives my house. It also makes a huge difference in helping decrease the heat coming through the full sun facing windows. I live in a very hot state and although I have double layer window panes I prefer having the reflective window tint film on all of the windows. It's also a layer of security as I can look out to see the pesky sales people ahead of time to avoid them disturbing me. The film greatly cuts down the intense sun rays and makes a room more comfortable. I have another window to do and ordered additional window tint. The adhesiveness is great and it was much easier to apply than other brands I've tried.

I love this film for my front door. I can see out, the sun does not heat the house and nobody can see in as long as there is more light outside than inside. It was also easy to apply, just clean window, leave window damp and apply. It is best to have someone help pull the tint from the backing. Also trim after application.

Looks good but doesn't stay long

Unless you’re Bob Villa or similar, it is not a 15-minute job. It will take you a lot longer, particularly if you’re working alone. If you have multiple windows, I suggest that you work on one pair at a time and that you start with your smallest and/or in the most obscure location. Pictured: my medium size window, the product installed on the right, not yet on the left. The slider window was more difficult due to the size I was working with, there was some curling, and the end result was not as good as the Coavas competing product: I ended up with some bubbles (looks better in natural light than my pic).First, note that the included “tools” are crammed inside the roll. I almost missed this until I picked up the roll from one end and shook it: one of the tools slid inside it; they’re quite tight in there. I had ordered two rolls, and I thought that they had skimped and had only sent me one set of tools. Not so: the others fell out later. As mentioned, they’re tightly squeezed in there! All tools are useful and appropriately sized.The instructions on this page are helpful but basic, though differ slightly from what’s inside the roll: be careful when opening the roll to not cut the instructions (a blue sheet for me). My modified instructions are: (1) If you have multiple windows you’re doing this on, figure out how to use the product(s) most efficiently by mapping it out on paper, ideally using at least two of their edges (which would leave any extra in the middle) (2) Decide a large smooth surface where you’re going to measure the material, sweep it of dirt first. I used a bathroom floor. (3) Measure the windows, ideally with a ruler as long as one of your dimensions; (4) Clean the window(s) you’re using this product on; (5) Gently lay out the product - it dents fairly easily - and, using an erasable marker, with measurements a marker width wider than what you came up with in step 3, mark the product for the first pane. You will need multiple heavy things to weigh down the edges, for you’ll be fighting the constant curling. A floor lamp may also help you see your marker marks. I tried using masking tape to help hold the product down, but it was a mediocre solution. By far, this was the most time-consuming and frustrating part. (6) Cut the product: I used scissors, cutting inside the marks (if you use the included knife, you’d have to have something under the product). (7) Wipe off your marker marks. (8) Hold what you cut on the window (dry) that you’ll be putting it on for checking your accuracy. If it’s slightly off, use that on the top of the two-pane window (what I had) or have the “off” part where it would be least noticed. (9) Fill their bottle with water and lotion (not detergent), mix well so that it’s relatively clear. Place a towel in front of the receiving window, and generously spray the receiving window. (10) Peel off the back of the product- they include tape, I used my fingernails one time, then their included tape on one side, which probably worked better, hold the film over the towel that’s near the window and generously spray the side you just exposed. (11) Apply the product to the window. (12) Wrap a squeegee (theirs or yours) with a washcloth/hand towel to avoid scratching the product and remove the bubbles and water. (13) Press around the edges to force the curl away from the window (14) You can easily make a mistake if you opt to trim off extra material with the included knife to trim off any excess material. In retrospect, mine was "close enough" and better not to trim, as that isn't nearly as obvious. (15) Relax, whew, that’s one down and … to go. I waited until the next day to do window number 2 so that I could see how window number 1 fared overnight from being applied. So far, so good. While not super easy, it's far easier than doing this for your car's windows. WIth both, you can tell, but with this, you have to be very close, and as long as you cover 99% of the window, you're good!Darkness: noticeable difference. Install done for an upstairs bedroom/office that gets a lot of light, great for crack of dawn risers, but not the rest of us; it also gets hot later in the day. These were my motivations for doing this work.Heat gain: will update when the largest set of three windows is received and done (different brand) and when hotter days return (I scared them away with this project).
