“Waste of money I'm afraid. Difficult to prise open and scratched the film. Top film didn't pull away as suggested in instructions so grappled with peeling it down thus damaging it more. Difficult to cut straight - why not have gridlines on the bit you throw away? Very disappointed.”
“I've just 'fitted' my second sample. It will be interesting to see how this pans out. I messed up with the first attempt and did not apply nearly enough slip, so the sample had, what looked like, a lot of inactivated adhesive which showed up badly on the window. This time, I did it according to the book and had a lot of slip on both sides of the film. After squeegeeing it out, it sat a lot better on the window.
Now I have a fair amount of very small water 'bubbles' underneath the film which I am hoping will dry out.
As it states, there is haziness looking through the film which 'should' disappear when the water between the film and the window dries out. Hoping it does, as at the moment, the view through the film is not clear. Time will tell, and if it does, I will have the confidence to buy the film to cover three windows. As it stands though, It's a wait and see . . . .”
“A great product and once you've mastered the tricky splitting of the two sheets, it is very easy to fit and looks great.
I will be ordering more - thanks”
“Just what we wanted. We ordered made to measure. All were the correct size and a doodle to install. All you need is a spray bottle and a cloth, everything else is provided.”
“An excellent company to buy from. Helpful and informative when we contacted them for advice, the products we have bought have arrived quickly. Definitely 10 out of 10”
“Ordered a sample of Prestige 70 Ultra Solar Control Window Film to gauge its suitability. Delivery was prompt, installation instructions comprehensive and a good quality film. The only downside for me was the bronze reflective tint when viewed from the front which I didn't like. This is just personal preference. I have ordered further samples of the Non-reflective light charcoal tinted solar window films to see if they are more suitable for my needs.”
“Very pleased with my window film as I needed to cover up some of my double glazed windows that had blown in my conservatory and always looked dirty.
I even had to call customer service to order the correct film to match the patterned window and was delighted with the help I received with my order.
Very impressed with quality and service :-)”
“Ordered 4 different samples, one of which was the Static Cling Silver Reflective Mirror Window Film, This product I found after applying distorted the view out of the window. I sent a message to Abode via the contacts page on the website asking for advice but they never answered.”
“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.”
“My original order had been produced incorrectly but the team were very helpful to create and send a new item, so I cannot fault the customer service.
Unfortunately, when the correct item finally arrived, I was not too impressed with the product. I have installed fablon film on windows before and had always managed to do a decent job. This product was different, and quite difficult to lay without air bubbles, and the installation tool provided was a bit too small to do a good enough job. I ended up using a window cleaning squeegee, which worked better. The product also marks quite easily if you have to peel it back up to re-lay in the event of air bubbles. Ultimately it's decent and does the job, but I wouldn't say it provides a professional finish.”
