I've not got around to using this kit yet but I'm very pleased with the amount of accessories it has and the sturdy quality

Chose 3 different designs for a 3 panel front window. Very happy with results, though would have liked to tweak position of each if I could have seen how the final result would have looked. Software to enable this would have been useful.

I have used these before some years ago (but they were melted during the summer of 40c in London!) so I was replacing them. The instructions are quite long winded for what is a few steps, but I appreciate the effort as a lot can go wrong! Applying is like making pancakes: the first isnt as good as the rest! So get practice in if you can. I did notice some specks on the adhesive side before separating - it was lucky i noticed before applying! So I advise you to check the film before unpeeling so you can return it if damaged/has contaminiation that would be stuck under the film forever! As for the film - it does the job: gives privacy and lets most light in. Tip: I leave a centimetre gap on either side so I can see out into the garden if i need to, but not enough to jeapardise the privacy.

The film arrived well packaged and was relatively easy to apply to the windows. Instructions are clear and once the blackout film was installed it was very effective. I would say this is a good product and an easy solution to blocking out light neatly but inexpensively.

I really loved the look of your product, but I was very careful putting the film on my glass and still got bubbles, which I can't get out.

Hello Jennifer, Thank you for leaving a review and image. If you followed the fitting instructions you shouldn't get any bubbles at all. Bubbles occur when the film has not been squeegeed enough to ensure all the water and air have been removed. Kind Regards Tracey

The product itself is very nice and high quality. Only reason not 5 stars is that it was a lot more difficult to install than I had imagined when I bought it.

Very very tricky to put on. The bit that peels off is on the inside and therefore very difficult to place the sticky side on the glass whilst trying to keep it straight and peel off the paper underneath it! Also we weren’t expecting it to be sticky as the one we had previously peeled straight off as it wasn’t sticky. Hope this doesn’t leave glue all over the glass should we need to remove it. Nice pattern and opaque to see through but lets the light in.

Hello Susanna, Thank you for leaving a review. We can appreciate that there is a knack to fitting the film but we always advise to leave plenty of time and prepare really well. The film can be removed and the glass will be the same as before you fitted it. To remove we recommend heating gently with a hairdryer and peeling away from one corner, you may need to use a glass scraper to help you. Any residue from the adhesive left on the glass can then be removed using a soft cloth and white spirit. Finally wash the windows with warm soapy water. Kind Regards Tracey

I had a good success with application following instructions until it came to cutting off excess. I found it very difficult to cut even with a new Stanley blade in the knife. It gone on with a few torn edges. It does the job intended.

The positives; Arrived really quickly and looks great. The negative: one of the two identically pieces a few mm different( bigger)and not square to the perfect piece and was difficult to fit. We had to trim and have ended up with a 100mm crease line in it. The perfect size piece fits like a glove and fitting was a cinch!! Nigel

The window films are of a very high quality and once they have been fixed to the window in question the door does look very attractive. However peeling the back off is very dificult. There should be a crease in the flim to ease removal.

We are happy that an internal glass door is now up to safety standards . However my friend followed the instructions to the letter and the window was cleaned thoroughly several times before fitting and as instructed used the solution liberally "you can't use too much" and we are left with bubble marks quite endearing. We assume this is down to the age of the glass involved which maybe not as smooth as it might be. We have added decorative film to distract from this.

Hello, Thank you for leaving a review. We always advise that if you follow the fitting instructions you shouldn't get any bubbles. It could possibly be due to not enough pressure being applied. Kind Regards Tracey

Product OK but instruction sheet enclosed a bit like War and Peace novel - too much bla bla. Spoke to a nice lady in the office who simplified it and talked me through in about a minute. I suggest you revise your instruction sheet and simplify - remember that wise maxim - Life is simple - people make it complicated !!
