Customer Review: Very good product. Installed much better than I thought. Installation tip.
Summary: 5 Stars
First, I read all of the installation tips for all of the window films here on Amazon. Thanks to everyone for taking the time to share your tips.
I trimmed the pieces to fit the windows and took the scraps and practiced applying the film on a smaller window to get a feel for the material. Good idea as when the film creases, the metallic material can flake off leaving a clear line in the film. The film must be handled very flat or only allow smooth curving.
On to the large pieces. Two windows 28" by 48". I thought to myself that I will never be able to do this alone. Decided to leave the clear liner on entirely instead of peeling most or all of it off while on the work table.
I instead taped the film on the excess top edge, liner and all, in the proper orientation and alignment, onto the window frame at every 6" to insure good attachment before pulling the clear liner down. Sprayed the window. Then I cautiously began to peel down the clear liner from the top on the left and right corners while spraying the window and between the film and clear liner. Work very slowly at the first top foot to keep the film from creasing and make sure the tape holds the film up.
The key to the entire operation is to work very slowly and plan ahead.
It worked so much better than I had feared.
How the product works. One of the best products I've ever purchased, impressed enough to write my first review. Location is a home office on the north east side by the windows. The film cuts glare a great deal, easier to read the LCD monitors. Much cooler as it cuts down on the intensity of the morning sun. Light transmission might be reduced by about 25%. The darker that it is inside the house and the brighter it is outside results in more of the mirror effect. The optical clarity looking outside is reduced a bit but gets better as the adhesive on the film cures. So much better than drawing the curtains to be able to read.
