Review on 🏒 Niviy Etched Privacy Window Film - Frosted Glass Static Cling Non Adhesive Window Frost Film for Home or Office - 17.5" x 78.7 by Robert Lemons

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Good product, need 2 people for large sizes.

I'm so glad I waited for you to help me install. We both struggled for at least half an hour to get it right. I used it on the shower stall glass wall, I had to cut 3 glass fixings. It stuck pretty well, but we had to keep wetting it with water and it was easy to accidentally push it away, and it had to be re-wetted and run with a ruler (old driver's license, credit card, etc.) to pop the bubbles out. From all that has been said and done, there is a streak down one side that shows blisters, although it was fine at first. So something is causing it not to fully adhere. I suspect hard water stains that I couldn't see. Most adhere well and stay tight. Unfortunately, until we got to the bottom of it, we didn't see that there was a dark manufacturing stripe on the plastic. LET IT DOWN. Haven't contacted the seller yet as we only applied it in September but I bought it in July. As hard as it is to put on, I would still appreciate a replacement and will update my review if they say they will send a replacement. I'm uploading a picture of the finished glass applique and a closeup of a line running vertically through the center. You are brave when you can do it yourself! It's probably doable, but at our age with our sore joints and backs it was a bit difficult. I suspect that a much smaller area, like clipping out small 8x10 window slices or similar, would be an easy task. But a full shower glass that takes up the entire strip of the roll to within an inch is best for you to juggle the roll, pulling back the foil, spray bottle, and straightedge to remove the bubbles from under the foil. In general this is a good product. I would buy this again. It lets in a lot of light and you can see movement without much detail. I didn't buy it for privacy, I bought it to have something to protect the shower glass from our hard well water while still allowing light from the shower window into the bathroom.
