rabbitgoo One Way Window Film Privacy for Glass, Silver, 44.5x200cm

I bought this for my daughter’s bedroom at university. Her room faces directly onto the street and her bed is right next to the window, so we wanted to give her some privacy without making the room dark or having the curtains closed all day. This has worked really well. The frosted finish stops people being able to see clearly through the glass while still letting plenty of natural light into the room. It is very easy to put up. You measure the window and cut the film to size, clean the glass, spray the window with water, peel off the backing and position the film onto the wet glass. The water lets you move it around until it’s sitting straight, then you smooth the water and any air bubbles out towards the edges. There’s no glue or adhesive holding it in place, it stays on using static cling. That makes it particularly good for student accommodation and rented properties. When she moves out, we can just peel it back off again without leaving sticky residue or making any permanent change to the window. We bought the 44.5 x 200cm matt version and cut it to fit the glass. Such a simple solution , she still gets the daylight into her bedroom but has much more privacy from people walking past outside

I purchased a roll of the white window film 75cm x 400cm to cover some windows in my conservatory, to provide a) some privacy from neighbours and b) to help reduce glare and UV from the sun. I decided to trial some on the door in the conservatory, as this is a plain glass pane and looks onto my neighbours. I thoroughly cleaned the window with some washing up liquid mixed well with Zoflora and water in a spray bottle and dried the window (not that I needed to of course but wanted to ensure it was completely clean before applying the film). I didn't want the full pane to be covered as we have a dog and I like to see when he's sat at the door so decided to have a gap. I can't cut straight so decided to put a wave in but kept the straight edge at the top. I can vouch for the reapplication being sound because when I applied it the very first time, I didn't put it on straight! So had to take it all off and reapply it. Application: I used clean water from a spray bottle to wet the window and peeled off the clear backing and placed the film onto the window and it clung instantly. I couldn't find the applicator I had previously bought so use an old bank card to smooth out the water and bubbles. it even clung to the PVS window frame. I did notice a few tiny bubbles appearing after application, but quickly realised that these areas needed a bit extra water as they had cleared when water was pushed through the area. These have been up over a week now and as I hadn't cut off the excess and is still covering the rubber seal on the window, I have noticed that it is starting to peel away from them. So will just go back and reapply some water and trim off the excess and see what happens after another week. I have just read that these window films aren't suitable in direct sunlight, yet say that it helps reduce the UV from the sun... I have installed this window film on a window that is in direct sunlight and have no issues with it at the moment (however, I can't see the edges as I have my tumble drier in from of the window, yes glorified utility room is my conservatory, and not from choice!). My small concern at the moment is, how to clean the windows/window film when they get dirty, because the surface not attached to the window is not smooth and will definitely attract dirt (seeing as I have tumble driers in there and it's a very old conservatory!), and previous experience with these types of surfaces have proved a little difficult to get clean. A good thing about these are that they are reusable and have no adhesive stickiness so won't really get stuck to itself should you end up dropping it towards itself. Dog hairs however love this! The static caused when removing the clear cover is amazing what it will suck to it and stick! Water does help remove this but ideally, keep pets away whilst installing! A little downside to these is the amount of water to be used and ends up all over the place when squeezing out, so get some good absorbent items to help mop it up as you squeeze it out. Otherwise, really is quite easy to install. I have used some colourful D-C Fix window film on a different window and even though they are less messy, can cause an issue if they end up getting stuck to itself... and I haven't found any D-C Fix window film that covers an are like this one. My window pane is 72cm high so this covers them perfectly after being trimmed after installation. I did need my husband to help me install this on the bigger windows though , as the window is too wide and high to apply this on my own. Ending note: I need to buy more as the roll just didn't quite fulfil the requirements (2 large windows and a door covered, need to cover another large window and 3 small windows)... so yes, I will be buying this again!

Excellent window film . Easy to apply, great privacy , stays on and doesnt drop or become loose. Neat appearance and allows the right amount of light in with max privacy .

We fitted this to 3 bathroom windows and got the hang of fitting it by the second. Tricky but not too difficult. Another reviewer gives a useful step by step guide. On the plus side - it blocks out loads of bright sunlight and cuts a lot of the heat. But it does make the room look a bit grey/blue dismal. And you can see your reflection inside when the light is on, against the blackness outside. Somehow we managed to stick the wrong side of the first one to the window. So it peled off in one corner. Sounds stupid (and is) but maybe you'll see how if you buy it. Perhaps the manufacturer could have something printed on the plastic you treat off and throw away. Anyway, we turned it over (quite easy) and now they all adhere perfectly.

It’s relatively easy to put up. Looks fine. You do lose a lot of natural but you do get a much cooler room so definitely worth getting. I took a star off because in the instructions it says there’s a transparent layer you remove with the adhesive underneath. There’s included stickers to help do this but i couldn’t find this layer. I spent ages trying to separate it and I wondered if these were generic instructions for all rabbit goo films (I have the frosted film too which did have a removable transparent layer with adhesive underneath). In the end I gave up and stuck it to the glass with water. Hopefully it’ll stay there. Has anyone found a removable layer?

So, this product does what it says. It's relatively easy to install, although quite hard to get bubble free etc, even with a squeegee and damp cloths. So, 3 stars for that - its ok. However, the main issue is that this is basically not suitable for double glazed windows - even if your double glazing is toughened glass. The product blocks a lot of the heat coming in which is what we wanted - but the result is the inside of the double glazed window with the film on gets VERY hot. If you have ordinary, non-toughened double glazing, the heat differential can, apparently, cause the window to crack. Even if your glass is toughened, the heat build up can potentially cause blown seals. I have had a hunt around and couldn't find anything about this on the product page. The only vague thing I could find was: "Wide Application: This privacy film is suitable for any flat, clean, and smooth glass surface, including homes, offices, stores, and classrooms. Note: If your glass is of a special type or is installed in a way that makes it prone to issues, please ensure compatibility before making your selection" Should I have done more homework before purchasing - yes. But I would guess most people getting this product would be intending to use it on double glazing which is certainly not a glass that is a "special type". We have toughened Pilkington K glass I was applying the film too and I removed the film a day after I applied it as its just not worth the risk/cost of potentially having to replace blown double glazing units.

★★★★★ A genuine game changer during the UK heatwave! I was really sceptical at first and honestly didn’t expect this film to make much of a difference, but I have to admit I was completely wrong. During the recent UK heatwave, it has reduced the temperature in my house significantly. The film was surprisingly easy to install, and while the silver version does make the rooms a little darker, it’s a small trade-off for the benefits you get. The reduction in heat has been incredible. My bedroom is on the third floor and usually becomes unbearably hot in warm weather. Before installing this, I often struggled to sleep because of how warm the room got. Since putting the film up, the bedroom has been noticeably cooler and far more comfortable, even on the hottest days. It’s made a huge difference to my sleep and overall comfort. I’ve been so impressed with the results that I’ve already ordered more to cover additional windows throughout the house. As you can see from the picture the top windows were done and the bottom ones were pending the light difference isn’t that big, but the temp difference is huge! If you’re looking for a simple and affordable way to reduce heat and keep your home cooler during summer, I would highly recommend giving this a try. It’s been worth every penny. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Once on the window it looks amazing, really professional looking, you can’t see through it BUT it still lets the light through- the perfect combination! The backing film is quite difficult to remove and if you have a large piece to apply then it does get a bit tricky. After doing 1 window I changed to unrolling the backing film in sections. The window covering is easy to move once on the window and the instructions do say use lots of water to apply so follow that as it makes it SO much easier. I like the fact that the film comes in various widths as this makes fitting easier - the film DOES NOT WORK if you are “patching” due to miss cutting of the film- it is very obvious that there is a join. My tip is to cut to the size with a tiny extra piece before you put it on the window as this makes it much easier to manage which can then be trimmed with a bladed tool.

Muy buena adhesión. Fácil de instalar, se mantiene en el tiempo. Lo pusimos hace cosa de dos años y sigue haciendo una excelente función. Da privacidad cuando hay sol porque genera un espejo desde fuera que hace que no te puedan ver sin perder tú desde dentro ningún tipo de visibilidad. Volvería a comprar sin duda

Super easy to install came with all the tools that I needed. It really does work well you can see outside. Nobody can see it except for at night time if your lights are on then they can see in your trailer. It does keep the heat down very well.

Took a lot of patience but came out perfect. Love the mirror look.

Not 100% privacy inside or out. It is very hard to see from the outside in with the mirror but if you come up close enough to the glass you can see inside a small amount during the day. It does seem to block a lot of heat out so if you're looking for that this is definitely going to be good for that. I have apartments across from me so I'm trying to get a little bit of privacy from my sliding doors. If you look at the one picture you can see that it's clear to see my daughter's Toy Box in front of the window from outside with the film on. And you can also see that my light on the ceiling is on.

This film isn't mirror enough. You can see right through it.
