Blackout Window Film Room Darkening Light Blocking 17.5" x 78.7"

This privacy film has been a great solution for adding coverage without sacrificing light. It provides privacy both looking out and from the outside looking in, which was exactly what we needed. Installation is straightforward, though it does take a bit of patience if you want a completely bubble-free finish—but it’s worth the effort as it will stay on as long as you need it to! One of the best parts is how easy it is to remove. It comes off cleanly with no damage or residue left behind, which is perfect for renters. We’ve used it in two different rental homes on both sliding glass doors and windows and haven’t had any issues at all. Overall, this is a reliable, renter-friendly option that does exactly what it promises. I would definitely recommend it and would repurchase again.

I purchased the Pure film to help block the Texas sun. The film is thick and the color is clear. It was easy to install and required lots of water on both the windows and the film. Once it was applied it seemed to hold good. I’m not sure exactly how much heat it will block, I’m hoping a lot since it’s getting to 98 today, but standing outside i can’t see in during daylight hours. I have blinds and curtains over the windows, however I wanted to try a little something extra for the sun and heat. So far, the film is working. I can tell just by having it up for a few days that there is not as much sunlight coming through. I didn’t think it was a great price since it only covered 3 windows and the small window on my door, however I do recommend the quality of the film.

Works great for what I needed but a little difficult to apply. I got it to cover several panes of glass in door to stop my little dogs from barking. Was easy to apply with spray of water and a squeegee, but after it dried had bubbles I couldn’t get out.

I bought this to cover my bathroom windows (I never understand why they put windows directly over the toilet!). The film gave me the privacy I was looking for while letting in light. I will be buying this again when needed. It was so easy to put it on and it stayed put in place. I did have 1 corner that let go just a little, so I just pulled it back a bit, cleaned the area better then put it right back into place and it did perfect. It gave a nice look to the bathroom. It's easy to cut and the included tool did the job.

I’m extremely impressed! Ordered this to add some privacy to our French doors and it works way better than expected! I ordered the pure finish and it is perfect! You can’t see in and it was way easier to install than I expected! Love the look!

We just moved into a new house with lots of windows. The front door (shown) was an issue for glare watching tv and the house is all LED lights so basically at night with any lights on it’s like you could land an airplane in the living room - and probably see what we are watching on tv from space. So getting some privacy filters that didn’t destroy the look of the room was priority! My fiancé suggested curtains for the doors but i was opposed. I’ve used window contact paper before for privacy in our old home. It was a pain (which is why he didn’t want me bothering.) It took forever for me to install. I could not get corners down, air bubbles, left residue when moved, etc. NONE OF THOSE PROBLEMS with this product!!!! Because it’s truly attaching by static cling, you can realign several times without losing the adhesive ability of the cling. This means you can rotate to get better angles, lift up areas where an air bubble has occurred and reapply it, etc. The thing I found difficult with installation was sizing the cling. I don’t know if this was all user error, but I just could not get a straight line. I used a ruler, I use a permanent marker (use only on the non textured sized which has the plastic you will pull off.) I have one of those cutting things (name of it escapes me but I usually use it to cut down cardstock) and finally used that to try to get some straighter edges and it was a success!! Unfortunately the one I was able to locate in the move the only cuts up to 11 in width so I have to precut before which results in a lot of waste. I did try using a utility knife to cut once in the window but the cling slid. I think the textured aspect made more difficult too. The ones I applied in the kitchen are appearing to come off and roll at the corners, but it’s like 100° and pure humidity outside and I’m thinking that applying them with that weather on the other side of the door may be affecting its ability to stick. With 1 roll I was able to do the bottom half of the bathroom window, the 6 small front door squares and the bottom of the living room side door. I didn’t order a new roll for the kitchen. I may also end up fixing some of the others that were more uneven depending on how much is left. Again, I’m having cutting issues so it’s been a bit wasteful. At the price I have no problem spending the money for 2 but I’d just rather not have to purchase a third! When I purchase more, I’d like to be trying a new design... Lastly the light diffusion and privacy - why I bought these. 1. Look: they are beautiful when the light is on them. Inside, outside, they have a gorgeous sparkle and refract little rainbows. It’s very pretty, particularly in the sun. Inside when in direct sun they can create rainbow lights on floors/furniture in the house. I’m fine with this, but did try to clean up what I assumed was juice on my new white carpet. It was a small pink light. Also, some dogs are super uncool with this. 2. Privacy: They absolutely obscure the vision of anyone trying to look through either side of the cling. Because my lines were perfect there are small areas where someone could see in around the cling, but you’d basically have to have your face next to the window. You can still see if we have lights on in the house, but you can’t tell at all what is going on in there. Personally - didn’t consider this with the front door, which doesn’t have a peep hole. For now I have to pull curtains aside to see whose there (usually amazon delivery) 3) Light: it does block a decent amount of direct light coming front the windows. As mentioned in #1 however, it does cast refracted light into the house. For us, this is still better than before because the light is not directly hitting anyone’s eyes as they look at the tv, or the tv screen directly. The film definitely breaks down enough of the light to generally take care of the “sun is coming from everywhere in here, I can’t see, trip face first into box” Issues. It still lets a good amount of light in, and because it’s not solid white, it just feels like a textured glass, not like the windows have been removed. As you can see, I’m pretty thrilled. I would buy again, and I have recommended to friends! (Attaches pictures are front door day and night, pls forgive any boxes. Literally moved last week. If I Think abt it I’ll try to take a picture of the door from the outside.)

Update less than 12 hours after application to one window according to directions ... 1/3 of product is no longer stuck to the window. Resulting in removing two stars. Less I can figure out another way to get the product to stick since following the directions hasn’t worked 100%. Wondering if it’s due to having an older 1900’s house. I’m going to try with the replacement windows. Had SO much hope in the product concept. Wish I had a five star experience as other users have! ——— While searching for potential products to obscure views besides frosted paint I searched products such as this. Sometimes I add stuff to my cart. Then, either save for later, stash on a list, delete, or order. Having decided to make space to do the project. Welp, ooopppps! Accidentally pushed the wrong button. Wouldn’t allow me to cancel. Soooo, a couple days later ‘Viola’ two rolls show up. Was gonna wait due to finding out I’d be getting new windows the day I was shopping for something to help with a few windows. Decided there’s ample opportunities to use this is why I kept it. Anyhow, today, upon hanging one panel in a window am posting a review. Pros, Cons, and why the star count. Loss of stars for messy installment necessity. Tips and edges don’t easily remain stuck. Sparse instructions. Support of other reviewers who relate to the struggle with the product and no way to fix it. This review is in your honor and to assist future users. Pros: Obviously, obscures viewing while allowing light into the space desired. Ability to cover multiple standard window sizes. Price comprarable or slightly better than big box stores. Cons: instructions are void details. Instructions with multiple languages is helpful to confusing a lot of nations. If you’re not savvy about the nuances you’ll deal with attempting to install this product you’re gonna get pissed, frustrated, and offer a crappy review if you even bother. Already feeling as though this product has robbed you of your valuable hard earned money, time, and sanity. TIPS: to assist IF the seller adds details to the few current steps. To buyers whom desire the benefit of this product for the ease of receipt from amazon. Recommendations: although most people don’t having Dr Bonner’s soap. My chosen brand for this project. Dawn dish soap would be a better choice. It’s sticker. I’m using it on further installation on other windows. Have a plastic putty knive. It’ll give the best spread. Also, having a 10 inch really does the trick. While spreading the soapy water inside. Having the handle makes for a nice even smooth push, spread, even wider movement then a credit card which frankly is a pain in the butt for the width of this installation. Wider edge = happy user. Have a flat surface to lay the precut product on. Spread the soapy water on the product. Rather than the window. Use a modest amount. You’re gonna need it. Make sure to apply to the textured side. Have paper or regular towel spread along the bottom of the windows. Have extra ready to clean up the mess you will make. A wash cloth works great for this part. Having a clean dry rag to use over the application once you’ve applied, used putty knife, and wipe up the corners will help gently continue to apply pressure to the product. You may, depending on your windows, have edges of the film that simply won’t stay down. I’d suggest, when everything’s dries, adding a little water to some Elmer’s and rub it on the edge with your finger. Then, use the putty knife to push from inside toward out. Use your finger, the clean one, and have a wet rag to wipe your finger of the glue. Plus, you’ll wanna clean away any spill over on the window. Or, it’ll leave that Matt Elmer film. Now, about the putty knife motion. When you apply the product you’ll see lots of inconsistencies between it and the window. Here’s a method for even spreading of the stuff on the product between the window ***Oh yeah, special note, reminder again, use the bumpy side on the product toward the window. Not the slick side.*** While holding the product in place, at the top, start in the middle. Lay the putty knife on the product. Push toward the window edge side down. Then up. The product will move if you need to realign it slightly. Then, putty knife middle to other side.Continue this until you’ve oozed the soap and water out. As though your squeeging water off your windshield. Basically move from middle to edge. Ensure edges still line up. Keep moving soap and water out of the sides. This will also help seal the product to the window. If you did a great job precleaning the window, the now cloud cover should be spotless. If not, quickly peel away. Remove the hair or debris that may be trapped. I’d recommend res-soaping and redoing the process to ensure sticking. By now you’re a pro so no fear you’re screwing up! Just do it! If you have older windows, like me, that haven’t been replaced yet. Razor blade any paint around the edges. Prior to install. If there’s ANY debris, paint, dirt this product won’t stick. Then, use the Elmer’s trick. If you forgot, or don’t care about how you get the edge to stick. I’m not certain how this product holds up in all weather. If it falls off or becomes a problem I’ll update. Four stars ease of use. As far as it obscures the view from people outside. Currently four stars for durability to to edges coming off window refusing to install. Requiring some other means of application. If not updated within the four seasons from now, July 2018 and next year, July 2019 you know it’s working okay for how I need it to. One star for ease of install. Honestly, worst product install due to the instructions I’ve ever had. Given I’ve got decades of tooling and DIY experience this says something. The everyday shopper should have a simple ease of installation. Currently, this is limited. It’s a very helpful product overall for what it’s meant for. No reason we shouldn’t have 4 and 5 stars across the board with a few updates on how to anyone can understand. Sincerely hope this inspires others to make this work for you!

Used this on garage windows facing the road, to the north. Why is this important? Because i installed the film on thoroughly cleaned as well as brand new windows last year. They do not get direct sunlight at any time, and yet I am now having bubbles appear in random places. It was properly installed without blemishes but now they are starting to appear. The stuff is easy to put on, and I like the look of the frosted windows, that's why I give it 3 stars. Doesn't seem like it will have much longevity and soon I will be forced to do the job again.

My friend helped me install in my study, as the window leads to a shared pathway on property. I love how I can now leave blinds open and still have privacy from my neighbours walking by. I work from home full time, so this has greatly improved my working space. Before the peel and stick film, I had to close the blinds all day. Now I get natural light. Love the product so much, have even used on upstairs bathroom windows. Recommend two ppl to install, and using low bubble chemical to mix with water. Some ppl use baby shampoo, but I used hyper allergenic shower gel. It has the same effect and the less bubbles means less air bubbles under the film, but still sticks perfectly

The delivery is only one item

Aún me falta poner cortinas a mi habitación pero quería tapar por lo menos la mitad de la puerta y aún así que entrara luz. Me encantó, es súper fácil de usar, solo asegúrense de echarle agua al lado que se le saca el plástico. Entra luz pero ya no se ve para afuera ni para adentro y crea unos destellos lindos. Muy fácil de pegar! Recomendado

I don't write a ton of reviews but I am impressed with this product. As the title says, I was expecting this to be a bit of a hassle to install (which is why I put it off for a while). After measuring, cutting and installing the first one, I did all the rest of my windows fairly quickly. The privacy factor is great, ample sunlight comes through and no more messy, dusty sheer curtains. The fact that you only need water and science to stick this on is fantastic. You can make slight adjustments after putting it on, etc. Cutting off the excess edges was simple, too (helps if you have a square ruler). That said, I just installed them so I'm hoping they hold up over weeks, months and years, winter/summer, etc. We'll see. Overall, I was dreading this a bit, thinking it would be like trying to get the bubbles out of those mobile phone screen protectors, but nope! As long as you have the tools they suggest, this should be no problem. Plus, it won't leave any residue if you choose to remove them later on. Nice!

Werkt zoals ik had verwacht! Verduisterend en makkelijk aan te brengen. Wel lastig om het plastic van het folie te peuteren, het zit goed vast
