Review on 🪟 G Greenfilm Static Cling Window Tint 70% - Easy DIY Home and Residential Window Film (36" X 82") - No Glue, Hassle-free Installation by Alicia Hall

I live in a west-facing apartment, so in the summer it can be almost unbearable to be in my room where my desk is. I like the view but the heat will make it a little uncomfortable or just plain uncomfortable. At first I thought about tinting car windows, but didn't like the idea of removing the adhesive film on the 6ft windows afterwards. I found window tint for real windows, but still didn't like the idea of it being held in place with glue. Luckily I found it while browsing through a recommendation and I'm very glad it exists. While other blinds have been very dark or mirror-like, this one has a light blue tint that lets about 95% of the light through but doesn't heat up very much. I still feel some warmth from the sun, but not as much as without it. The application is pretty simple. To be honest I didn't need their liquid or their tools. I just used distilled water with a little dish soap (don't use moisturizer) and a bathroom mop. To determine the amount of soap, I used about 16 ounces of water and about 5 drops of soap. I guessed by eye but the way I determined the amount of soap to use is that the water should produce some suds but when you dip your fingers in it shouldn't be soapy/slippery. If so, drain some of the water and add some more clean water. There are many suggestions on how to do this if you google it. Measure the size of the window and add an inch or two on each side. Do not remove the film from the backing until you are ready to apply it. I made this mistake with the first window and it fell on the carpet. While not sticky, it picked up a few fibers that landed on the window. It's not bad at all, but it bothers me a little when I look out the window and see the extra fiber. The film has a slight flicker. I can't describe it properly. It looks like a bubble or frosted glass but is faint in my opinion. Thoroughly clean and dry the window before applying the film, then thoroughly wet the window with soapy water and apply the film. Depending on the size of the window, it would be better for two. After application smooth the edges and then take a sharp blade and slowly go over the edges to trim the film to fit the window. I found it easier to do the sides first and then the bottom. For now, don't worry about squeezing out the water. As you cut the foil to the edges, start squeezing out the water. Don't be too harsh on the first pass as the water will help remove most of the air bubbles. Check the edges again and trim off the excess, then squeeze out the remaining water. This will help spray the film onto the outside and push out any air bubbles so the squeegee glides more smoothly and doesn't damage the film. Even if there are air bubbles, the beauty of this film is that you can peel it off and reapply it. yet again. The only downside, and not very big, is that it doesn't help much with glare, for that I just close the light curtain, but the main problem with heat is solved. This film should be great for those who have plants as it still lets through most of the visible light.
