HIDBEA One Way Window Film Daytime Privacy Window Tint for Home, Anti UV Reflective Heat Control Glass Films Non-Adhesive Mirror Window Clings (Silver, 23.6 Inch x 13.1 Feet)

To be honest, I was very skeptical about putting this film on my windows. I previously had 1” shutters on the lower half of this 3 window set. They had yellowed in places over the years, had broken pieces, were hard to keep clean, and constantly allowed bugs and cobwebs to collect behind them. The shutter brackets also prevented me from being able to use the tilt sash feature on the windows which was aggravating. I knew I needed to get something else on these windows!!This product was extremely durable and easy to work with. After the first window, the process was a breeze. I recommend doing your most inconspicuous window first to work out any issues. My biggest issue was that I didn’t have a super sharp utility blade to cut the excess. I fixed that before I proceeded to the next window, and things went much smoother.I love that this application gives me the privacy that is needed, yet allows enough light for my plants. I think it looks cleaner, more contemporary, and opens up the area without having those busy, clumsy shutters there. And let’s be honest…..this is a heck of a lot cheaper than other window coverings. I also like that this is not permanent. Once dried it is very secure though. Time will tell how it withstands cleaning etc. All in all, this is a WIN WIN for me!Just for FYI: I used the ‘frosted’ film. It was the right choice for me. I think the white would have been too opaque and I didn’t want the busy-ness of the design ones

Put this film on 4 windows. following the directions was easy and with a second person went on easily. Get the felt applicators for installation. After installation it has blocked a huge amount of heat without darkening the room.

The primary benefit of mirror film is the increased privacy it offers. During daylight, the reflective surface ensures that people outside cannot see in, while you can still enjoy the view from inside. It’s perfect for cooling rooms that get a lot of sun.The film effectively reduces the amount of heat entering through the windows by reflecting a significant portion of sunlight. This can lead to a cooler indoor environment and reduced air conditioning costs, making it both comfortable and energy-efficient. The mirror film blocks harmful UV rays, protecting your skin and preventing furniture, flooring, and artwork from fading. This prolongs the life of your interior furnishings.The sleek, modern look of mirror film can enhance the exterior appearance of your home or office building. It provides a polished, uniform look to the windows. The film actually made our windows look slightly blacked out which I thought was pretty cool.By reflecting sunlight, the film helps reduce glare inside the room, making it easier to watch TV, work on a computer, or read without straining your eyes. It has helped tremendously with the glare on the tv from the window. This alone is worth it.The installation is easy enough, but not very forgiving. If you make a mistake and the film folds and you are stuck with the crease. This is the one think I wish was better.The mirror effect reverses at night when lights are on inside, potentially compromising privacy. Additional window coverings may be needed for complete nighttime privacy. This is normally what most people dislike about the film. I, however, don't mind it at all because I still use blinds and curtains for additional privacy.Hope this helps!! I will post a photo and update soon!

The media could not be loaded.  I live in a townhouse and people walk by my windows all the time and look in. I hate it but love the daylight. I installed these covers by myself and it was very easy. Measuring and cutting is the hardest part. As you can see these do not block any sunlight yet no one can see inside anymore. I was really worried they would be too sheer based on a couple reviews but it’s not true. If you put your face up to the glass you can see a blurry person of course but my privacy is well protected. I feel very safe changing in front of them. You lay them out flat on a hard surface, measure your window glass and I suggest making them about 1/4” bigger than the glass then after it dries just use the exacto blade to trim it off otherwise you get side edges of clear glass. My first attempt was like this so I had to redo it. You spray the glass with water then put the film on the wet glass after you peel off the clear plastic backing. It’s not sticky like tape at all so it doesn’t get stuck or attached to itself at all. the water will make it get sticky after you put it on the window. You can move it around while it’s wet so it’s very forgiving and easy to do by yourself. Take extra care to cut straight lines and your good! Oh and get a hard edge or squeegee thing to smooth out the bubbles. It dries overnight and becomes unmovable when dry. It claims you can peel it off later but I haven’t tried that yet so I can’t verify if this is true. I’m renting right now so I’m praying it’s removable in real life. I really recommend this. I went to Home Depot but the one they had at mine was way too sheer so I took a chance on this one. So glad I did!

This cling version sux to work with. I gave up on trying to get out the bubbles after I made numerous scratches trying to get the film down smooth. It's not pretty but fits what I needed it to do. Less heat and the sun light is diluted. Due to the mirror effect on the outside you can't see out at night. Not a deal breaker for me but was something I wondered about.

I like it

Bueno

Let 2 people do it, just easier.Looks stylish , let's through a lot of light, private , and best part, just peels off if you don't need it anymore. No mess.Follow the instructions on the roll.

Impossible to install without bubbles and scratches.
