“Good product especially if putting on a plain flat window/sheet of glass but if putting it on a Motorhome or caravan window with support stays and locking handles in the way, you need the window removed from the vehicle and the patience of a Saint!”
“Our second purchase of frosted window covers from Abode. Excellent quality, if a bit fiddly to fit even using cut to size. The reason for taking a star off was the recommendation to use tape to separate the protective cover. This removed the frosting as it was too sticky. I recommend using only one piece of tape (use the sticky label already on the sheet) on the disposable part in order to separate them.
If you use loads of liquid expect the film not to stick at the top and bottom until it’s drier. It is much easier to move but takes much longer to get perfect”
“I think this is a quality product. Because of its properties it is slippery to handle and I would recommend that one person steadies the product and the other cuts as it is difficult to do this accurately on your own. It's important not to allow the product to bend or the mark stays permanently when it's on the window. The film did move easily when put onto a soapy window and the tool provided is essential, again, two people make applying the film more manageable. The windows I applied it to are only 23" wide,I improved with practice.
The film does darken the room a little but for the privacy it provides and being able to take down the net curtains it is well worth this, I can at least see the garden now.”
“Great product, cut to size, with clear instructions. I was very pleased with the results. The only reason I didn't give 5 stars is, as I used sticky tape to separate the backing film, the tape removed a small section of the pattern. But unless you know about it, you won't notice. Thank you.”
“Really happy with it, very easy to instal when I got my head around the instructions (I think maybe they can make them simpler as it sounds more complicated than it is)
It looks good but in the sunlight the clear section doesn’t stand out as much but that might look different in different light. Overall good value and looks great.”
“I bought this window film for my living room bay window, as we were looking for extra privacy. I chose the made to measure option. Unfortunately, my order arrived damaged, due to not being packaged properly, which was of course very disappointing. However, customer services were happy to send a new set once I had sent a photo across. We love the look and finish but lost one star simply because of the inconvenience. Would reccomend!”
“Good company , arrived on time and good instructions. The only thing I was disappointed about was that when fitted to the window the seascape wasn't as dark as I presumed it would be.”
“Helpful staff and the film went on quite well with 2 of us on the job! 4 stars only though as the delivery didn't happen on the day it was supposed to and there were some phone calls with the courier required to sort it out.”
“Excellent customer service, very helpful, the product was everything g we thought it would be difficult to put on at first but soon mastered the technique very pleased with the result”
“This is the second lot of window film I have purchased great product giving privacy as described. Easy to apply however, one negative there is no longer a grid on the lining paper as my previous purchase to aid cutting to size.
I managed fine with a straight edge as a rule but would have benefitted from the grid.
Arrived well packaged and on time. Thank you.”
“First time I"ve tried to apply this or similar product. I think there are still some improvements possible in the instructions.
1. Separating the film from the backing: The diagram showing appling two strips of tape across a corner didn't work, only putting two strips directly to the point of the corner worked for me. And it's absolutely essential to fold the free lengths of tape back on the themselves to form to tabs that don't stick together.
2. Placing the film on the window in order to separate the film. Mybe it was obvious from the diagram, but on my first try I put the film on the window at the 'right' height, as the length of the strip was longer than the window and it never occurred to me not to put it in the right position. the result was that it kept falling down until it dawned on me to put the top edge on the window and let the bottom edge drop well below the window.
3. Reversing the film on the window: this was the trickiest bit, doing it without having the film fold irreversibly back on itself. Firstly it helps to cross one's arms first (the diagram shows the worker putting his arms up straight first, but that means the arms are crossed as one applies the film sticky side to the window and it's more difficult to control). Secondly it would probably help to temporarily fix a straight edge to the bottom edge eg a ruler. I didn't try this but I would in the future.
4. My installation is OK, but there are still a few very small bubbles when you look really closely, not sure if they will eventually disappear.”
“Not a bad price, the size was a bit larger than I ordered, which was handy. Applies really well. I sprayed the back of the film too (not mentioned in instructions) which helped with application. Lovely finish and exactly what I was after. Only downside was it arrived squashed in packaging. Luckily I managed to smooth out the creases.”
