LOVE LOVE LOVE!!!!!!
I live in an apartment that has a huge window that faces out onto a busy road and walkway. There is nothing worse than sitting on your couch and looking out your window to see people staring at you as they walk by. LOL I had to do something LOL
After spending some time browsing different products, I decided on this (DC Fix 3460276 Pearl Self-Adhesive Window Film) as well as bought some frosted glass spray.
I LOVE LOVE LOVE how this came out on my windows!! And loath the frosted spray I bought from another company. It stank (fumes) and did not come out the desired effect.
This self-adhesive window film was well worth it!!! :) Here's some tips. First make sure you have a measure tape, pencil, razor blade, and a squeegee ( I found a bathroom type squeegee at rite aid for $1.99 that worked perfect for this project!)
1) I bought two rolls for one large window and I am glad I did. The roll is not very wide so if you have a big project, I would buy more than one.
2) Take your time when applying :) Other reviewers mentioned this was a two person job. I think it worked fine with just myself. Although the section my daughter helped me with did go quicker :)
If you go too quick you may end up with bubbles. The best application method I found was to slowly apply by rolling from one side to the other and as I went I used my squeegee to rub out any air pockets.
If you make a mistake or have too many bubbles, this product will hold up for you to remove and start over. I had to do that once on a strip I went to quick on, but it pulled up easily and stuck right back on.
3) make sure to measure and cut it a little larger than needed. I noticed it worked well when I did that and once it was applied I just went back over it with a razor blade for a clean edge.
All and all I am VERY pleased with this product! It was easy to apply and took less than 20 minutes from start to finish, and it looks AMAZING!!!!!!
It looks not only beautiful but it does exactly what it claims to! I am amazed at how much light my window brings in now that I am not afraid to open it all the way up. I don't have to worry about snooping neighbors anymore :)
PS DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY ON THE SPRAY ON FROSTING. THEY DON'T WORK NEARLY AS WELL AS THESE SELF ADHESIVES!
Now I am going to have to scrap my upstairs window from using the cheap frost spray and buy more of this beautiful product for up there LOL
