Review on Niviy Blackout Window Film - Sun Blocking Removable House Privacy Tint | 17.7" x 78.7" | Frosted Glass Window Cover by Melvin Boss

I live in a town house community with very small and practically public rear patios. I have a lot of expensive equipment in the same room adjacent rear patio which meant I never opened the floor-to-ceiling blinds. I have since installed this window film and it has been great. I get a ton of light in that room with less concern that my home will be targeted for theft.I would recommend watching a ton of YouTube videos to understand what the install process will entail. It is a bit more involved that I anticipated but totally worth it. Some people still might opt to having a professional do it. I think most people will be able to install this film on their own, I would recommend buying a second sheet as a backup in case you have a learning mistake your first sheet.One thing you definitely need is professional spray bottle. I bought one at Home Depot years ago. It produces a lot of fine spray which you will need to install this window film. You add a water/dish soap mix into the sprayer and liberally apply to the window. For me, this window film did not have any adhesion aside from the water/soap mix. This mix works surprisingly well, it's been installed for a few weeks now and does not seem like it will be coming off until I peel it off when I move out.Optionally buying a hard and soft edged squeegee would help with the installation but I found carefully using an old debit card worked for me.Lastly clean glass is soooo important to the installation. Seriously can not stress this enough! Any specs of dirt will be very noticeable because air bubbles will form on-top of the dirt. I would recommend cleaning the window how you'd normally clean the window (Windex, what have you), then razor blade the entire window to take care of any paint spray from when the house was built (or just stubborn dirt), then clean again with Windex (or similar product) with a microfiber cloth. The edges will most likely bleed out dirt, especially toward the bottom. So flush as much fluid and then some more when cleaning the window before installation.Good luck, you can do it!
