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

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Good product, need 2 people for large sizes.

So glad I waited until I had help putting this up. Two of us struggled for at least half hour to get it on right. Used it on shower glass "wall" panel, had to cut around 3 of the glass fasteners. It stuck pretty well but we had to keep misting it with water and it was easy to accidentally pull back and have to re-wet and swipe with (old driver license, credit card etc.) straight edge to push out bubbles. After all was said and done, there's a strip down one side it is showing bubbling even though at first it was fine. So something is causing it to not adhere completely. I suspect hard water stains that I couldn't see. Most of it is adhering well, staying sealed down. Unfortunately we didn't see until we got to the bottom all on, that there's a manufacturing dark streak in the plastic. DARN IT. I haven't contacted sell yet as we just applied it now in September, but I bought it in July. As hard as it was to put on, I would still appreciate a replacement and will update my review if they say they will send a replacement. I am uploading picture of the finished glass application and a close up of the line running down the middle bottom, vertically. You're brave if you tackle this yourself! It can probably be done, but at our age with our achy joints and backs it was a bit of a struggle. A much smaller area such as cutting small 8x10 window segments or something would be a breeze, I suspect. But a whole shower glass which takes up all but an inch strip of the roll, best you have some help to juggle the roll, pulling back the film, a sprayer bottle, and straight edge to swipe out the bubbles from under the film. All in all it is a good product. I would buy it again. It does allow plenty of light through and you can see movement through it without a lot of detail. I didn't buy it for privacy though, I bought it to have something to protect the shower glass from our hard well water, while still having light come into the bathroom from the window in the shower area.

Pros
  • Allows natural light to enter your home without the glare or heat
Cons
  • May not provide enough privacy during the day
