Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

This is the first time we applied window privacy film to the window. Would like to share some tips we learned from our mistakes. 1. Be sure to measure the size of the window first to decide how you want to cut this film. My husband just put the film in front of the window to get the approximate sizes. We left around 2” space but figured out later that there is really no need to leave extra 1” space (as per the instruction) if you could cut the film well. Extra 0.5” is good enough if you want to use one film on several windows. 2. Be careful if you want to use tape on the film. We tried to use tape to mark the line to cut. But the tape left some residue on the film. 3. If you don’t have a long metal ruler but would like to mark the line with a marker or a pen, better to mark on the back of the film. I used an eyebrow pencil to mark so that I could cut a straight line with a scissor. It was labor intensive to remove the line because the front surface is “not flat”. Glad we could trim the part later. 4. Make sure your knife is sharp enough so the trimming doesn’t become zig-zag. Be patient and careful when trimming the film so that you don’t damage the wood/frame of your window. (It might be better if you do use a metal ruler next to the knife when trimming.) I was kind of nervous before starting the project because my husband had some bad experiences on the car window tint. This is definitely easier but it indeed took us some time. If you have no experience like me, I would suggest watching some videos on Youtube before you start to work. This film has some thickness to it. Though it looks harmless to the window, we are not sure if the film really leaves no residues after we remove it…. My husband said, “It looks like from the 60’s.”; after dark, he said, “it looks like Christmas time!!” We feel that the film is more beautiful than expected after application.
