Coavas Total Blackout Window Privacy Film 100% Light Blocking & UV Protection, Static Cling Frosted Privacy Cover No Glue Heat Control Room Darkening Shade for Bedroom, Nursery,17.5 x 78.7 inches

Great window film for day time privacy, room darkening (mild to moderate) and energy savings! I bought this film for a west facing bedroom that gets a ton of sunlight and heat in the summer. It is great! When the sun is shining it is like a mirror finish with total privacy. Be aware that the way this particular film works is based on the light, so if the room has more light than outside it does not offer privacy. I knew that going in so I was okay with this. Also, different reflective films block the sun more or less, I have ones that block less on my west facing doors, but I wanted darker (while still being able to see out) for this bedroom window, so I chose this tint. The application is easy, but a few tips will help a lot. First, make sure your window is completely clean. Then use a lot of soapy warm water. I apply it with a rag. I find it is better to deal with a little water mess than not have good adhesion. I use a utility knife to trim and a squeegee to help get air bubbles out. Small areas (like half a double hung window) will be easier to get the air bubbles out than large areas (like a picture window). Be patient. Also, if you are using a large film, it can be helpful to have someone else position it, but not impossible. Use tape to pull off the clear film (or cut off the edge if you bend it to get the film off). Make sure you apply the film to the inside of the window. Make sure the reflective side faces outside. This brand worked very well ( I have used many) and had just the right thickness. There is customer support and videos if this is your first time doing this sort of thing. I love that there is no adhesive, it works with static cling (I do recommend using soapy water) so there is no commitment. Great purchase!

I was a bit skeptical about these when I read some of the reviews that said this was hard to apply, but I figured for $10 bucks a pop, I would give it a try. The quality of this vinyl is very good. The vinyl is much thicker than I expected, and the pattern is actually textured onto the vinyl. I have two large windows on my back doors, and I have had a neighbor snooping around behind my house, so it was time do to something. This was easier to install and more affordable than blinds or curtains. I followed the directions carefully, which included removing the protective plastic sheet from the inside of the film, cleaning the window very well beforehand, and using water spray on both the vinyl and the window before applying. This process was very easy, but do it when you have time to be patient. My tips for installation. * I had also purchased a special felt squeegee kit (HTVRONT brand) for about $9 with sprayer bottle and exacto knives to help with the installation, and that made it much easier--worth the money to get that. I know some others have mentioned using a credit card as a squeegee, but I think it would be more difficult considering the textured pattern on the vinyl. *Measure the window to determine the size you need and then cut the vinyl before removing the protective film. My only complaint about this product is that there are no gridlines on the back to facilitate straight line cutting. *If the vinyl isn't where you want it to be, you can reposition if you have used a lot of water, and if not, remove it, add more water, and reapply. *Use a lot of water spray on the window and on the decal. If you have a decent squeegee, and I found this worked great with a felt squeegee, you will remove all the excess water. Once the vinyl was positioned where I wanted it on the glass, I spent a lot of time squeegeeing from the center of the vinyl to the outside, and then I would use a towel to wipe away the water that came out from the sides. In this way, I was able to remove ALL bubbles under the vinyl. It takes a bit of time but it totally worth it. *Before you finish squeegeeing, try looking at the vinyl in different lights and angles so you can find any bubbles you didn't see initially. Then squeegee them out. From start to finish, including measuring and cutting, it took me about 45 minutes to install these on the two windows. Several days later, even with crazy temperature variations outside, it is stuck fast with no peeling or bubbling and looks fantastic. What I like the most about this privacy solution is that if I change my mind about having that window covered at another time, I could easily remove the film. Highly recommended.

I bought this film to cover up a window for a little privacy and it was absolutely perfect, easy to install, no residue. The room instantly felt much cooler. I was so happy with my purchase that I ordered 2 more rolls of window film to cover up a bedroom window, the second roll was even easier, took me less than 15 minutes to measure & install but the 3rd roll was a challenge it had a small crease I didn’t think it was a problem but when placed on the window I could not remove what seemed like water bubbles, I kept trying to smooth it out with no avail, I removed the film thinking it was my window but quickly realized the film had dried water spots all over, both sides were done only minutes apart, the right side looks perfect and smooth, the left side looks wet but it has a dried on soapy water spots. Mind you I didn’t use soap to clean my windows only water, Maybe it was a faulty film. It was hard to take pictures of how it looks in person, the second picture shows how cloudy it looks. I will be requesting an exchange, that is the only reason why I removed 1 star.

Yes, I live in Arizona and have a refrigerator on my patio. I use this window film every summer and it makes a world of difference. It is easy to apply, just wet the window and it slides into place. A few small air bubbles but it has a nice clean look when it’s done. I ordered the right width so it was only one cut and it cover the whole front perfectly.

works and looks go no issues with installtion

This is a mixed review because the product is fine for what is advertised except for ease of usability. It is advertised as easy to install but in reality it is difficult to get right. I work retail and do a lot of installations using window cling. People say this item is thick but its really not that thick compared to many cling decals ive worked with before. Definitely recommend using either soapy water or windex for application as the surfactants in both with help with application and such. if it miss the placement or have stubborn bubbles, peel it back a little and add more of the solution to the window to give it more slip to work with. I dont not have a lot of personal experience with cutting edges as all the cling ive done before have precut edges that never reach the edges. This is maybe easier for some people but this was difficult to do and if you practice you could get good at it but for the cost of these, expect to mess up. Clings are also capable of "frankensteining" a bit to cover large spaces. So if you cant afford to replace a mess-up then just cut more to replace the gaps and repeat over the clings. So far overlapping is ok but will return later to update if the overlapping becomes an issue. Hasnt in the past with my other decal clings. Keeping dust from getting behind the clings is incredibly difficult and a little futile. The clings have a texture to them. they arent fully see through on the interior and does distort the images from outside. They are not scratch resistant. So far huge difference in the heat coming in through the windows. Truly the reason we bought these. But even the lighter colors block a lot of natural light. Not the end of the world in sunny los angeles! They definitely look cheap and if you can afford it, buy the UV coated windows in your house installation or pay a professional company to put similar window tints on. For the rest of us peasants in rentals... it'll do just fine!

This is perfect for our large patio door. It allows light, but not too much sun. It helps keep the living room cooler and it keeps people from looking in during the day. Nothing is blurred, the application was straight forward, and we had no problem with creasing as we were installing it.

Definitely recommend 2 people to install, absolutely love the quality, came out better than expected for my first time tinting, helps a ton with heat and you can’t see in from outside! Was easy to work the bubbles out too, sprayed window with a mix of RO water and spray way class cleaner shaken up in a spray bottle, sprayed back of film with same solution prior to sticking it to window, worked it out with an old drivers license card.

Great product, fairly easy to use but can become a bit fiddly to get the backing plastic off. I've used it in the front room with about 1cm left of the window framing the frosted area (so we can still kind of see what's going on LOL) and the only thing that would make it even better would be to have a white backing paper with straight lines every 0.5cm (a bit like the sticky plastic for schoolbooks) so lines would be very easily cut straight. But with the nice geometric pattern even the wobbly lines are barely noticeable. I would definitely recommend this!

Looks great and super easy to install. Just cut to size, apply some water on your window, stick the film on and trim edges with a craft knife. Took the best part of 10mins and completely transformed my kitchen window.

Quizá no leí bien pero el material absorbe todo el calor del sol, no detiene la temperatura en un cuarto de 3x3 al contrario se siente más el calor. Es un muy buen producto solo no fue para mí.

Just the privacy we need in the bathroom. Like the design as a lot of poor designs out there.

Looks fabulous!! great value for money and relly changes the look of the room, lets plenty of light in. East to fit, just be patient and follow instructions
