Rubble Pattern Window Film

This is our first front door that has glass. While I tried to get used to having a see through front door, I just couldn't shake that feeling I was being watched. We have some etched glass and some clear parts. I looked into buying some tint film thinking it had a one way mirror effect all the time, not just during the day. However that's not a thing that I'm aware of. I found this film and I liked the look. Since it matched our original door glass style I decided to give it a try. I don't have before and after pictures sadly, just after.Installation was rather simple, however I recommend having an extra set of hands to help. I would also use a box cutter instead of a scissor to cut your desired sizing. I had to go back with a box cutter to fix my jagged scissor cuts. Once I had it cut I did a few dry runs (Leaving film on ) and verifying that I didn't have any edges sticking up that would prevent it from adhering properly. Once I liked the dry fit I removed the backing and got to work. Make sure to apply plenty of water... and I mean lots of misted water. I used distilled water in a fine mist sprayer. I used distilled because we have very hard water here and I wasn't sure if spots would remain after it dried. Looking back it probably wouldn't be an issue. I used our shower squeegee to smooth out the air bubbles. It took all of five minutes to get it installed once cut. Not bad at all.Once I sprayed the glass the window film just sticks on. Having a second set of hands would have helped placing the bottom portion and the top portion exact. It took some working but I was able to move the film to where it needed to go. After my first attempt I realized I didn't spray enough water because it didn't move as freely as I would have liked. Once i sprayed liberally it was much easier to shift and drag the film to where it needed to go.All in all it looks really well and my wife was surprised to see it done so easily. It looks so good IMO that it could be confused for the real thing. It makes the view blurry enough to make out colors and shapes but not clear enough to see anything like see through glass. Granted if you put your face right up to it you can see through the clear specs, but if someone wants to look that closely who am I to deny them.

Took only 15-20 minutes to do one window. Very easy however edges didn’t seem to stick but as water dried it started to stick after time.

Purchased a roll of this window film to use throughout the house and really love it so far. I have tons left to spare even after using it for four windows and a glass door.Installation: The grid on the back was really useful, I used a measuring tape, scissors, an x-acto knife and a squeegee to cut these out and press them on. I used the scissors to make a small notch to remember which line to cut. The one annoying element was the part of the grid that had the logo because you no longer had a line to follow. My recommendation is to measure up a bit from the size of your window then gently cut off the excess once it is installed using the x-acto knife. I used a spray bottle to lightly dampen the window (after cleaning it) then peeled the top and slowly peeled and pressed it down. Any excess was cut off so I tried to line the top and right hand side and cut off the bottom and left excess and I took a microfiber to remove extra water that pooled at the bottom. Press out the bubbles as best you can but they are going to appear and disappear randomly.Visually: The look of these are great, even with slight imperfections with the cutting you barely notice it. Like other reviewers mentioned you do get bubbles no matter how hard you smooth them out. I think it has to do with the humidity but the complex geometric design means you don't notice them unless you get up close. My favorite part is when the film catches the sun and casts rainbows around the house.

This product works well for my needs.I ordered 3 rolls, the film gave me the privacy that I was looking for and it looks nice. I am please with my purchases.

I had no issues installing; however, I flunked cutting all the way back in kindergarten, so without guidelines my skills were tested. Even using a yardstick proved a problem for me and I think that issue is rare for most people. At least, I hope that is the case.I found the product easy to place and then it has stayed in place, even with -30 wind chill winds blown at the covered panes.I find that in the winter months, more than adequate sun gets in and has reduced my need for heating. Will see what happens in summer, if it ever comes.And I did a bit of testing for privacy and at worst one can see vague outlines, but no detail. So that is great news.The kicker for me is the color prisms the covering creates. I like color but too much pattern or too wacky of a color scheme and I struggle to feel comfortable. I hung this product in my master bed and bath. I added the pictures, which fall a bit short in showing the beautiful and restful effects, when the sun is shining directly or indirectly.The mostly white photo attempts to show the prism effect on walls across from the window. One photo is "this is how it looks most of the time" photo, including a close up. I am now thinking of redoing the front windows in this same pattern. So glad I decided on this product and this option specifically.

I bought this because my kitchen window, where I stand to do dishes, faces my neighbor's awful yard. I wanted the sunshine, but not the view. This was my solution. It is easy to install. The only tricky part is trimming it.
