d-c-fix window film privacy Opal – 45cm x 2m – self adhesive vinyl films for glass windows with a modern frosted pattern – opaque, decorative for bathroom, home & kitchen

Just fitted mine stuck down perfectly and no bubbles, looks great. My advice; leave it in a warm room for an hour or two before you use it, don't try to put it on a radiator or anything else which is hot to speed the process up. whilst your waiting clean the window or glass you are going to stick it to thoroughly and I mean right into the corners, I used a car window cleaner which worked fine. When your ready offer it up to the surface you want to cover and cut it with a pair of scissors just roughly over size, I cut mine 1/4 - 1/2 inch over size all round, do this with the backing paper still attached as this has grid lines printed on it which will help you cut fairly straight. Peel the backing paper from one corner only and stick the corner to the window, then start peeling the backing paper away a bit at a time lining the film up as you go make sure you have a flexible scraper or spatula or something similar to go over it as you are sticking it down, if you get any big bubbles or creases then gently pull the film away just enough to ease them out and re-stick it using the flexible spatula to help you. Make sure you have a new blade for your Stanley or craft knife and trim the excess film away all around the edges of the window and just pull away the excess film. Rub it over with a rag and if there are any very small bubbles just use a pin to pierce them or nick them with the knife blade and rub them over with a rag. I finished mine off by using a hot air gun the type decorators use and I used it on a warm setting ( I stress warm) and rubbed it all over with a rag to make sure everything was stuck as it should. This type of film does not apply well to cold or dirty greasy surfaces so do the prep and take your time and you will get perfect results but if you are like 90 per cent of the population and have no patience then ask someone who likes decorating to do it for you.

Firstly, this is more than easy enough to apply by one person. I used it to stick over my transparent glass desk, making it translucent. It took me approximately an hour from opening this package till I had it fully stuck on my desk, and that was with sticking it on both sides of the glass as I felt that one layer was still too transparent! Except for a few air bubbles that were easy enough to remove with a plastic spatula, the film stuck down fairly easy; I fully cleaned both sides of the glass, cut a piece of film that was an appropriate size (I found it easiest to cut a piece that was too large, then trim it afterwards with a Stanley knife, that way if it's a bit off you don't end up with missing areas). If you start on one corner and peel it back as you stick it down, while removing air bubbles as you go along, it's relatively simple to do - and looks pretty decent for the price! I am, however, giving this 4 stars as the last 10cm or so of the film was too damaged to be of any use

Arrived quickly and packaged well with bubble wrap and brown paper which was a good job as postman forced it through letterbox instead of knocking the door and may have bent it had bubble wrap not prevented this. I wasn't sure what to expect but this product was everything I hoped for. The plastic is good quality, easy to apply to window (I just used a cloth but made sure window had been thoroughly cleaned first) easy to adjust if mistakes made and the final product has given me the privacy I needed. Very happy.

This was a bad purchase from start to finish. The product arrived in an oversized box but was still crushed. However, I persisted. "I can smooth that out when I apply it" I figured. When I unrolled the film, it was buckled and coming away from the backing paper. I left it unrolled in a warm room overnight, hoping that would help smooth things out, but it was the same the next day, just less tightly curled. I cut it as per the instructions (which were minimal, but that's what YouTube is for, right?) and applied it to the scrupulously cleaned and squeegee'd windows, only the find that the film was warped and would not sit flat. I popped airbubbles that I could not work out, but it was still buckled and there was a large wedge shape that would not stick onto the bottom window. "No problem", I thought, figuring it may adhere overnight once it had a chance to settle. The next morning, not only was the wedge shape considerably bigger on the bottom window, but the opposing top window, which had stuck down beautifully the day before, had dramatically come away from the window also, and condensation had caused the film to become unstuck around the edges. The application of this product is not at all difficult, and I'm not overly stupid. I'm also pretty darned persistent and optimistic that things will work out if I do the work. But in this instance, there was nothing I could do to fix this. The fault is definitely with the product itself. I'm not sure if I got an old roll from the back of the stockpile, but if anyone else purchases this product (which I would strongly advise against) and their roll of film looks like the one I purchased when they unroll it, I urge them to return it immediately for a refund rather than waste time applying it, only to have to take it off their windows, bin it, and buy another roll elsewhere.

Ordered two rolls. Opened the first one and no issues. Opened 2nd roll just outside return window - has all these weird yellow patches.

Perfect for keeping out prying eyes, I've put it in my kitchen, it still lets in enough light, especially at dusk, that room is blinded by the sun normally, but now I can do stuff without squinting my eyes. It's so good I've ordered another roll for my bedroom, net curtains are just so dated. I managed to do this with the help of a ruler, scissors, loyalty card and a Stanley blade, by MYSELF, not sure why folk are struggling. As suggested by a previous buyer, make sure the roll isn't freezing and it will prevent bubbles, measure twice, cut once, keep it on the backing paper as you go along, trying to hang a giant piece without having the backing paper is just foolishness, you'll end up in a right two and eight!

Used on bathroom window as I don't have curtains or blind up. Works well, put 2 layers on though

A fine product, really easy to install, just use a couple of weights to measure it all out on the backing paper the cut it, peel off only an inch or two to apply and align on your surface then pull the backing down as you use a credit card to push out any bubbles etc. Really quick application, one cupboard front took me minutes. I have knocked it down a star as I wanted a more blocked off view, with the 'milky' description I was hoping that would be OK, alas it's still quite see through.

Fantastic for the layered filter in producing my transparent illustratedware.com masks

Usata per mascherare il lato di un vetro tiene bene e fa un buon effetto visivo. Facile da stendere.

Helaas niet wat ik ervan had verwacht. Ik heb deze versie aangeschaft voor het gebruik op plexiglas, maar het resultaat (zelfs na een week wachten) is teleurstellend. Strepen en luchtbubbels die niet meer weggehaald kunnen worden. Denk dat ik toch "eigenwijs" had moeten zijn en gewoon de statische variant moeten nemen. Kortom; ik kan deze versie, die dus geadverteerd werd als geschikt voor plexiglas, zeer zeker niet aanbevelen voor plexiglas. Ik had ook die d-c-fix rakelset met vilt e.d. erbij besteld, maar zelfs dat hielp dus niet en waarschijnlijk heeft dit dan ook voor de strepen gezoegd in de folie. Erg jammer allemaal... Deze heeft dus een soort van lijmlaag... Ik hoop dat dit te verwijderen is zonder schade aan het plexiglas. Ik hoop het, want anders is alles verpest alleen door deze folie. Ik vrees het ergste... Want je kan dus ook geen agressieve schoonmaakmiddelen gebruiken natuurlijk op plexiglas.

L’article est tout à fait satisfaisant, facile à découper car au verso il y a un papier millimétré ce qui permet de couper droit, il se fixe tel quel et est repositionnable à l’infini s’il y a des bulles. En tout cas facile, occultant sans obscurcir la pièce. Par contre je ne l’ai pas gardé sur ma porte fenêtre car il occulte aussi la vision depuis l’intérieur et j’ai besoin de voir qui est sur mon perron avant d’ouvrir la porte.

I recently bought a house that has a panel of windows in the garage door, and a garage side door with a window that goes directly outside. I'm a bit paranoid about people peeking in to see what I have and needed something to haze over the windows. 6 of the garage door windows are glass while 2 are plexiglas. This stuff went up very easily, though you'll probably have to play around with it your first piece. The curl kind of is a pain in the butt to deal with, so I'd suggest laying the pieces you want to put up under something to flatten them first. I wasn't patient enough for that so put them up as soon as I cut them to size. Peeling the paper backing off will make the film very static-y so keep that in mind. This definitely is not a vinyl cling. The sticky side is quite sticky. Your best bet to be bubblefree is to align at the top only in the top two corners press those, and then using your fingers only, press all the way across. Using your fingers only, go back and forth about an inch at a time down. Any bubbles that come up while you do this you can easily press and massage out. Very happy with the end result. It obscures pretty much everything and is like 'Mr. Magoo' vision wherever it's up. All I could see from the outside looking through it was a hazy red blob which was my car. If you don't cut quite to size, you may have tiny slivers of uncovered pieces between the film and window edge which really nosy people could peek through and see. I had this on my side door and to solve I just used some electrical tape to cover up those sections. Overall great product!
