rabbitgoo Heat Reflective Window Film Privacy, Silver, 44.5x200cm

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.

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!

The frosted film arrived in good time. It was easy to apply, following the instructions. I particularly like the handy sticker on the opening that facilitated easy opening without having to find the peel and it can be used multiple times. I’m really pleased with the privacy it provides.

★★★★★ 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. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

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.

Not the easiest to put on but we was doing a large patio door. It defently keep some sunlight out but then makes room dar in the evenings. But does the job. As lots of comments say you just have to spray loads of water if you think you have done enough just do more as it makes it so much easier to put on. Loads on both the window and plastic.

Clean window thoroughly, then use a Stanley blade to ensure the surface is perfectly clean and flat. Carefully cut film to size, then use plenty of soapy water on the window and film, really easy to install total time to fit was 20 minutes

I bought this window film mainly to reduce heat and improve daytime privacy in a sunny room, and overall I think it works quite well once installed, although the application process was definitely more difficult than expected. The first thing I noticed after fitting it was that the one-way mirror effect actually works nicely during the daytime. From outside it gives good privacy while still allowing natural light into the room, which was exactly what I wanted. What impressed me most is the heat reduction. The room genuinely feels less harsh during sunny parts of the day, and the film helps cut down glare quite a bit as well. I also liked that the film size gives plenty to work with for larger windows, and once sections are applied properly it does give a cleaner and more modern appearance to the glass. However, the main reason I’m giving 4 stars instead of 5 is because the installation was much harder than expected. Despite taking time, using plenty of water and using applicator tools similar to a squeegee, I still ended up with quite a few creases, bumps and trapped bubbles. Some of the bubbles also make little popping sounds when pressed, which makes it feel like air is still trapped underneath certain areas even after smoothing it multiple times. I do think part of this comes down to the film itself being slightly difficult to handle because larger sections can crease quite easily during positioning. That said, once fully installed and viewed from a short distance away, the overall appearance still looks decent and the reflective finish works well. I also appreciate that it blocks a noticeable amount of sunlight and helps the room feel slightly cooler during warmer days. I think this is a decent privacy and heat reflective film that performs well once applied, but you definitely need patience during installation and it may not go on perfectly smoothly, especially on larger windows. If you mainly want improved daytime privacy and heat reduction, it does the job well, but be prepared for a slightly frustrating application process.

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.

Die Sichtschutz Folie (30cm) ist wirklich sehr gut. Das Muster ist wie das von Milchglas, habe lange gesucht eine ohne schreckliches Blumen Muster zu finden und finde es daher sehr angenehm. Geholt habe ich sie, um mich von den Blicken der Vermietern im Hinterhof und der Nachbarn zu schützen. Und genau dafür ist sie absolut top! Die Folie lässt schön Licht durch, Sonnenschutz bieten sie bei Montage am oberen Teil den Fensters bestimmt auch gut. Die Montage war sehr einfach, nur schutzfilm abziehen und aufkleben. Sieht sehr sehr sauber aus. Blasen gab es gar keine. Absolute Kaufempfehlung! Habe sie auch für die Fenster zur Straße vor nochmal in 45cm gekauft!
