Review on πŸͺŸ VViViD Shatterproof Security Window Vinyl Film Roll - Clear Protective (Combo Pack of 2-Rolls, 30 Inch x 6.5ft) by Derrick Bellando

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Self-adhesive, thick and easy to install. But no instructions.

I can't tell if this product works as I would have to break a window to find out. I can say that it was not difficult to install as it is a self-adhesive product. There were no instructions so I don't know if some water/soap solution could be used to smooth the product and get rid of any air bubbles. You'll need something thicker than your average credit card to smooth out the air bubbles. I quickly found that you can't tear it off the window without leaving glue behind. I wanted to test this out to see if it would stand up to the abuse my dogs might put window film on. I had a dog who "ripped off" the thinner film from the window. The same dog also smashed a window and cut his nose and paws so I'm hoping this will prevent this from happening again. I'm also hoping this film will provide at least some weather protection as I have incredibly miserable windows in my apartment (they are 50 years old with aluminum partitions). In one winter there was ice on the inside of the windows! The last time I installed the film I had to cut it to fit each pane of glass (I think mine is nine by nine). Anyway, it took forever. This time I decided to be extremely lazy and just glued the foil directly onto the aluminum dividers. The way I installed it is wrong and ugly because there are air bubbles which I didn't even try to smooth out and since I went right over the aluminum spacers (which stick out about 2mm) there are there is a gap all around. each of those. If my dogs don't tear it up I trim it neatly and order more for the rest of the windows.

Pros
  • Commercial point of sale displays - Stop theft of electronics, jewelry and other easy to steal items
Cons
  • Questionable purchase for the elderly
