no successAnonymous reviewerAfter reading the reviews, I thought I’d give it a try and made sure to take my time and be precise. Unfortunately, I didn’t have much luck — the corners look uneven, and new bubbles appeared even a few days after application. I like the product, but I’m not skilled enough to apply it properly myself.2
DisappointedAnonymous reviewerEverything went well until it came to using the tabs to separate the film. I'm disappointed as I usually have great luck with Ikea products.3
Doesn't stickAnonymous reviewerFell out after two days. Followed instructions. Waste of £15 1
Not clearAnonymous reviewerYou can buy patterned or transparent. I thought transparent meant you ended up with a mirror type effect but it is really translucent. The clear film is actually the backing which is discarded. The instructions are therefore confusing because it looks like you end up with a window you can’t see through, but that seems to be how it is supposed to be? Is this an English translation problem?2
It doesn't Stick to the window Anonymous reviewerI bought 4 pieces and followed all instructions, but after one day, they started falling apart. The sticker doesn't hold. I tried again and agin to re-stick them, didn't work. m really disappointed that in the third day I had to throw them away.1
Easy installationAnonymous reviewerThis was a very cheap and easy way to add privacy to our dining area. I was worried about installing it but I needn’t have worried, it was easy and the tool included makes it easy to get air bubbles out. Would recommend to anyone. The pattern also means you can still see out a little bit but no one can see in. Perfect!5
Very difficultAnonymous reviewerThe product is very difficult to apply. The video looks very easy but trust me its like putting a screen cover for your phone, only this was is fairly big for windows3
Unclear Instructions Anonymous reviewerProduct is brilliant, but only once you have waisted a roll trying to figure out instructions. Can see some people advising of film falling off the next day - presumably because they never figured out the needed clear film removal (inner side e.g., window side).3
Good valueAnonymous reviewerTricky to put on. Directions not particularly clear. Managed - with an extra pair of hands. Looks great. 4
Difficult to apply wellAnonymous reviewerReally difficult to successfully apply well. End up with bubbles and creases, tried multiple times. Parts of it look good when they’re stuck properly but compared to other options from elsewhere it’s not with the effort to apply as others are so much easier to apply. 1
Warning migraineurs: Stinks of toxic chemicals! Anonymous reviewerThis is nothing like the window films I’ve used before, it’s thinner, the back is covered in glue and whatever glue it is, I suspect that’s what stinks & made me ill. I had to remove it after 26 hours as I needed a bath. Refunded. 1
Great results, great value. Anonymous reviewerI bought this to diffuse the light coming into my office and help stop plants on the window ledge from scorching.
When applying, take your time, measure twice, clean your window more than once and use far more water spray than you think you will need. 5
Not greatAnonymous reviewerDoes not stick to the window well even when following the instructions to a T. 1
Does the job Anonymous reviewerOnly four stars because of the instructions. It wasn't clear there was backing paper that needs to be peeled off so that's the only reason. Other than that it's quite a decent amount of privacy film you get for the price. Very good for privacy ( I used it on my living room window which passers by kept looking into), will have to pop any air bubbles with a small pin. Would buy again. 4
Really good value for moneyAnonymous reviewerGood product and such good value for money compared to competitors. Good quality and worth it. Easy to apply (make sure you clean window thoroughly)5
No peeking Anonymous reviewerDoes exactly what it's supposed to. Easy to cut to size and apply and allows enough light to come through whilst giving me the privacy I require5
Arrived creasedAnonymous reviewerThe roll arrived creased so the film has a few lines down it that won’t come out. This was throughout the entire roll. Ruins the look of it. Really disappointing.2
Not good as a privacy screenAnonymous reviewerI've installed and used privacy film bought from a major online retailer multiple times before, so I had no reason to believe this film would be any different. Well it is. It's much thinner than the ones I've used before, and yet stiffer/less pliable. Initially it applied well, air bubbles easily squeegeed out. But I found it hanging off the window the next day. I also found that when running a cloth over after to mop up the soapy water squeegeed out that the textured surface grabbed all the fluff of the cloth and was really difficult to remove.
Really didn't live up to expectation sadly.
I plan to use the film on my Cricut machine and cut out smaller shapes, perhaps they will adhere better than one larger piece.2
Looks effective, just doesn't stay put Anonymous reviewerFollowed instructions just unfortunately doesn't hold as hoped. 2
Brilliant Anonymous reviewerFirst time using this and it worked. 5
