“Waste of money I'm afraid. Difficult to prise open and scratched the film. Top film didn't pull away as suggested in instructions so grappled with peeling it down thus damaging it more. Difficult to cut straight - why not have gridlines on the bit you throw away? Very disappointed.”
“I've just 'fitted' my second sample. It will be interesting to see how this pans out. I messed up with the first attempt and did not apply nearly enough slip, so the sample had, what looked like, a lot of inactivated adhesive which showed up badly on the window. This time, I did it according to the book and had a lot of slip on both sides of the film. After squeegeeing it out, it sat a lot better on the window.
Now I have a fair amount of very small water 'bubbles' underneath the film which I am hoping will dry out.
As it states, there is haziness looking through the film which 'should' disappear when the water between the film and the window dries out. Hoping it does, as at the moment, the view through the film is not clear. Time will tell, and if it does, I will have the confidence to buy the film to cover three windows. As it stands though, It's a wait and see . . . .”
“My original order had been produced incorrectly but the team were very helpful to create and send a new item, so I cannot fault the customer service.
Unfortunately, when the correct item finally arrived, I was not too impressed with the product. I have installed fablon film on windows before and had always managed to do a decent job. This product was different, and quite difficult to lay without air bubbles, and the installation tool provided was a bit too small to do a good enough job. I ended up using a window cleaning squeegee, which worked better. The product also marks quite easily if you have to peel it back up to re-lay in the event of air bubbles. Ultimately it's decent and does the job, but I wouldn't say it provides a professional finish.”
“carried out the fitting of the film as instructed,,fairly easy,but the film is very thin, to make a complete success.
As a plastics engineer for 40 odd years my experience tells me the film needs to be twice the thickness to be brilliant”
“I originally gave 1 star as the product hadn’t arrived, but over two weeks later, it eventually turned up. To be fair to Abode Window Films, the product is fine, well packaged and of good quality. It’s a pity I had no information re despatch as it took so long I sourced an alternative. In the event, it’s £30 wasted, not good if you’re on a budget.”
“Two sorts ordered, a tinted one for bedroom windows, and a mirrored one for lounge windows and back door of garage.
The tinted one was OK to install and looks fine, there was two of us which helped.
I'm not sure if it reduces the heat inside or not, as it claimed too, I think it's so hot anyway I'm not sure anything would make a difference.
Haven't installed the mirrored one yet, the film for that appears to have been damaged Inthe factory or delivery office, as if a stapler or something was used on top of it. It requires more investigation and may not be suitable. The tinted one was helped a bit with privacy and looking from outside you can't see in as well as you could”
“The product arrived on time however, the longest part of one of the lengths of film had creases both ends so I had to waste and cut them off. Also there were no instructions how to stick film to windows. When I have tried the film slides off so not really the best product I've ordered.”
“Samples good but no instructions . Need to know how to attach to window, which way round each sample goes and one came with a protective film which we only discovered accidentally .”
“The roll I received did have a bend in it which ran through the whole lower half, however I had ordered larger than required so managed to cut this off. Clearer instructions would be helpful as it states there is a lining paper, which there isn’t. Still trying to get out the bubbles, but it is a large window.”
“The product was delivered quickly. The film was good. The instructions were okay but would have been useful to have more info about fitting a big sheet alone as mine got ruined 😕”
“While we are pleased with the product, the ease at application, the panels arent as beautiful and detailed as the picture on the website at all. I have uploaded a photograph so you can judge for yourself”
