Practice probably makes perfect when installing this stuff but it is not easy, especially if access is right. One on it works brilliantly at stopping heat getting in. Haven’t tried removing it yet but it doesn’t look straightforward.

Overall a fairly cheap and modern way to add privacy without net curtains. Right first things first... The bubbles do not properly disappear on the day you put them up and you can not get them out at first no matter how hard you try, so please learn from my mistake and don't! I made the mistake of trying to much and actually damaged the first film I put up. Leave it for a few days and it starts to look better. Within a month you'll never know they were there and the film looks great. I prepared thoroughly for putting up the film and I would say that this was key to successfully putting it up. I have done two rounds now and am very chuffed. Watching the video on how to to it is a must. If like me, you have big windows, this is a two person operation for the separation of the films and placing on the window.

this stuff arrived and does not look like it will protect privacy. At night with lights on you can still see people and it was not easy to cut. And, is now peeling back off window unfortunately. Impressive delivery though

I did this without waiting for hubby and here is how I did. First, cut the sheet of film about 1 inch larger than the window (try on a less important window first as it took me 2 goes to perfect my 'craft'. Once cut completely clean the window (if you don't thoroughly clean it first you won't get a snug fit). Then, place the cut film on a flat surface and use sellotape to peel back the film from the protective layer with the layer being the top sheet when you peel it off. This leaves the sticky side up (be careful as, if you accidentally crease the film it won't come out and will show on your final window!!) Next use a tablespoon of washing up liquid in water (about 500ml) and spray onto the window you are doing. SOAK it until there is water running down the window- THIS is key as, if you don't use enough your film won't slide around and you will struggle to get a smooth finish! Once you have sprayed the window spray the film (sticky side- that is facing upwards) loads too! Then, gently pick it up and slide it into position on the window- it should be so wet you are able to get it lined up how you want it with ease. THEN, take your squeegee and using FIRM pressure squeeze the water from the film (I am 9 stone and used my total body weight to squish the water (and the bubbles) away and didn't rip the film! Catch the water as it squeezes from the edges of the film/window using a cloth. KEEP squeegeeing until all the bubbles have gone- this can take time. Once you are happy you have got rid of all bubbles take a Stanley knife and cut around the edge of the window frame to get a completely flush fit. THEN, take a look and see if there are any more bubbles to squeegee out. Then go outside and look at the reflective side to see where any more bubbles are showing up and keep doing this until they are all gone. Because you have used LOADS of water you will look at the window and see lots of 'unsightly' marks between the film and the glass due to the washing up liquid smears and you will, at that point, think you've ruined your window and will want to take the film off.... but, after a week or so, those marks just go and you are left with a stunning window. We live in a bungalow and I used it on all front windows and am so pleased. As I said, I did it on my own (fairly large window frames) without help and only had to redo the first one as I had creased it. My husband was impressed lol. I averaged 15- 20 minutes each window pane and found the easy part was measuring it out, cutting it and then applying it. The time is taken with removing the bubbles. You need: A flat surface (I used a large cardboard box that I had flattened and used this to cut the film on too) Stanley knife- sharp Washing up liquid solution in a spray bottle Squeegee (I actually used the one recommended with this as it came with a Stanley knife) Clean cloth (to soak up the excess water and to wipe the film on the window post application Phew- I have never written such a long review before but this stuff is amazing and looks great so I wanted to give you a step by step on the easiest way to do it and NO I am not one of those people given this stuff for free or whatever to try. I am a genuine punter like you!

This was tricky to install, as I expected. I had my mum to help me and we didn’t succeed in getting all the air bubbles out. This wasn’t too much of an issue though as they weren’t overly noticeable. The main problem was that it made my room too dark. I have a huge west facing window and the room gets extremely hot in the summer. It worked very well to keep the heat and glare out but I found that on a cloudy day my room seemed very dismal so I actually took it off - which was very easy. I suppose if it’s a small window and you want it for privacy then it’s a good thing, as you definitely couldn’t see through it from the other side.
