“I bought this window film for my living room bay window, as we were looking for extra privacy. I chose the made to measure option. Unfortunately, my order arrived damaged, due to not being packaged properly, which was of course very disappointing. However, customer services were happy to send a new set once I had sent a photo across. We love the look and finish but lost one star simply because of the inconvenience. Would reccomend!”
“Good company , arrived on time and good instructions. The only thing I was disappointed about was that when fitted to the window the seascape wasn't as dark as I presumed it would be.”
“Helpful staff and the film went on quite well with 2 of us on the job! 4 stars only though as the delivery didn't happen on the day it was supposed to and there were some phone calls with the courier required to sort it out.”
“Excellent customer service, very helpful, the product was everything g we thought it would be difficult to put on at first but soon mastered the technique very pleased with the result”
“This is the second lot of window film I have purchased great product giving privacy as described. Easy to apply however, one negative there is no longer a grid on the lining paper as my previous purchase to aid cutting to size.
I managed fine with a straight edge as a rule but would have benefitted from the grid.
Arrived well packaged and on time. Thank you.”
“First time I"ve tried to apply this or similar product. I think there are still some improvements possible in the instructions.
1. Separating the film from the backing: The diagram showing appling two strips of tape across a corner didn't work, only putting two strips directly to the point of the corner worked for me. And it's absolutely essential to fold the free lengths of tape back on the themselves to form to tabs that don't stick together.
2. Placing the film on the window in order to separate the film. Mybe it was obvious from the diagram, but on my first try I put the film on the window at the 'right' height, as the length of the strip was longer than the window and it never occurred to me not to put it in the right position. the result was that it kept falling down until it dawned on me to put the top edge on the window and let the bottom edge drop well below the window.
3. Reversing the film on the window: this was the trickiest bit, doing it without having the film fold irreversibly back on itself. Firstly it helps to cross one's arms first (the diagram shows the worker putting his arms up straight first, but that means the arms are crossed as one applies the film sticky side to the window and it's more difficult to control). Secondly it would probably help to temporarily fix a straight edge to the bottom edge eg a ruler. I didn't try this but I would in the future.
4. My installation is OK, but there are still a few very small bubbles when you look really closely, not sure if they will eventually disappear.”
“Not a bad price, the size was a bit larger than I ordered, which was handy. Applies really well. I sprayed the back of the film too (not mentioned in instructions) which helped with application. Lovely finish and exactly what I was after. Only downside was it arrived squashed in packaging. Luckily I managed to smooth out the creases.”
“The film works as advertised...BUT... be aware that it is very difficult (at least it was for me) to work with a large sheet. I have a 63" X 41" window and I wasted the first attempt as it creased and stuck to itself. I'd bought enough for two tries (I know my deficiencies!) and put the second sheet in place successfully by not separating the protective sheet from the sticky side. So, it is up and works beautifully but it is adhering to the window solely by the power of dish soap! Hope it stays up. It is exactly what I need. I have light sensitivity and work directly in front of a large window. So... great product; a bit tough to work with for a big window. The attached photo shows the difference between the smaller window without film and the big one with it.”
“The product is great and of sound quality - delivery was quick and efficient. Fitting was not quite so straightforward however, but instructions were good - it is more the size and height location which was the problem. We have a few creases so am considering buying another window film and having a second attempt”
“Looks very good and makes the room feel bigger and more private. A bit fiddly to do the first pane but ok after that. Hope it lasts on the south facing window as not cheap.”
“This was our second lot of film which we thought we had purchased before from you but the previous film was from Window Films R US. Your film we felt was thicker but the instructions said only to wet the window and then offer up the film and wet again. The previous film we got said wet window and wet the film and then offer up to the window and then wet the film again when in place. The first method from Window Films R US is a more successful method. The difference in colour is apparent but as we were covering the two patio doors going out from conservatory to the garden and the other windows were fixed within the conservatory then it worked. Your bronze is more smokey coloured with a blue/purple tinged. The window film from Window films R US was a larger roll and cheaper . £32.99 for 6mx 76cm and yours was £44 for 50cm x5m . All in all we were happy given it was our first attempt to apply the film and ever dealing with it before.I do have before and after photos but my iphone does a HEIC format and its not supported . The photos are really good maybe if you e mail me I can e mail the photos to you?”
“Great product, does the job and is almost impossible to see through without losing any light. One issue stops it getting 5*, it is very difficult to put on even when following the instructions to the letter and to not get any sort of crease or bubble. Imagine it's like a bigger version of a mobile protector and you will understand!!”
“Very quick delivery! The film has made a difference already to my boys South facing bedrooms. Was tricky and fiddly to fit but we got someone to do it for us in the end I would recommend someone to fit for you if your like me and have no experience or patience”
“Pleased with the product, exactly as described and looks like the image shown.
Only for comment; strangely I didn't receive a confirmation order/e mail from Abode after ordering but product arrived promptly”
