WindowShield's window film has us in general Positively surprised. The supplied equipment, especially the high-quality squeegee with felt layer, was very helpful and the aClear assembly instructions helped us to put the film on the window. With the help of 5 cm markings on the back (frosted glass film) or the parallel squares (mosaic sheet) was a precise cutting possible. The self-adhesive backing in combination with plenty of lye water liable on the first try very well at the window. Air bubbles that had formed could then be smoothed out with a squeegee. Nevertheless, it should be mentioned that the assembly alone is something Patience requires and much easier with two people he follows. Especially since a possible sticking of the back can be avoided. The mosaic film was generally easier to attach than the frosted glass film. Unfortunately, the latter throws at the Installation in damp rooms like the bathroom blowing again after showering, which have to be repeatedly wiped out with the squeegee.
Overall, the window film offers a good privacy by day and night without darkening and can in different rooms be applied.
The tested Frosted glass film and mosaic film models in the size 44,5 x 200 cm are also available in 60 x 200 cm and 90 x 200 cm or 30 x 200 cm.
