Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I needed to stop spending so much on my A/C. My apartment has two big windows in the bedroom and two sliding glass doors in the living room. So during the worst of the summer, these rooms heat up a lot! So when I come home it's 84 degrees inside; on goes the A/C and up goes my bill.
I was dubious about whether this product would work. I definitely needed something removable so that I wouldn't get in trouble with my landlord. Most of the other window film products are semi-permanent--that is, once you put them on, they're on. You'd have to buy remover spray and razor blade it off. Not so with this product! It simply peels off.
Yes, it's slightly hard to manage with just one person. The directions do say to use two people. Anyway, once you get the backing off and position it, it simply sticks to your glass window. No water or anything. You then use a wide scraper, plastic squeegee, or (like I did), a "smoothing tool" (plastic scraper) for wallpaper. Works great in smoothing out the peel and cling window film. I then ran the smoothing tool along each edge with an X-acto knife and it was trimmed right to the window!
I didn't see any large bubbles... but with a few small bubbles or wrinkles, I just peeled the film off from a corner until I got to the bubble or wrinkle, then smoothed it back down with the tool. No problem.
My only complaint is that it works a bit too well! Although my rooms are now 6 degrees cooler when I come home, they are just a bit too dark. I trimmed the window tint to let the top third of the windows shine through. Problem solved. Now I get the right amount of light, but get a less heated, stuffy room. Perfect for the midwest.
I hope others have good luck with this product. I did!
