This product was much harder to use than one I’d used from another company. The window film was less robust one the backing film was removed and a nightmare trying to hold it to actually adhere it to the window.

Hello Brenda We are so sorry to hear that you found the film difficult to fit. Once the clear liner of the film is removed the thickness of the film does reduce and sometimes an extra pair of hands can be helpful. Films can vary in thickness depending on which film you have ordered. We are always happy to give advice if you are struggling and recommend you call us should you find yourself in this situation again. Hopefully you were happy with the end result once the film was fitted. Kind Regards Lissa

Ordered ok on website. Parcel tacking was a waste of time, as it came early when I wasn’t in.

We like the colour. But disappointment with the end result as it not truly translucent. When viewed through the glass it does not appear clear. It gives the impression of being greasy which it is not.

Your ordering and delivery was great, The problem I had was the product, Your chameleon window film was great to shrink but the finish was very sub standard, Mega patchy, no consistency in colours, totally unlike the photo you show, Now I order from star vinyl and there’s is perfect.

Its not as apaque as I expected after reading all the reviews. I purchased this for bathroom window for privacy and applied on top of already frosted glass. However, at a distance from the window inner activity in the bathroom was easily detectable. Complete waste of money.

Hi Thank you for your recent order and your review. The film will give a similar appearance to Frosted glass in a bathroom window and if you are fitting it onto already Frosted glass the change in the appearance and privacy levels of the glass will be negligible. As the film has a high visible light transmission you will always see shapes behind the film. As you mention most customers are extremely happy with the film but it seems you have not ordered the correct product for your requirements. We would always recommend ordering a sample of any film you are interested in before making a larger purchase to ensure it is suitable for your purpose. We do hope you have now found a solution for the privacy you require. Kind Regards Lissa

Didn't meet expectations

Hi We are very sorry that the film didn't meet your expectations but as we explained in our previous review that the only reason the film would fall off the window is because the fitting instructions weren't followed and the clear liner wasn't removed before fitting the film. If the liner had been removed the film would have adhered to the window and I'm certain this would have made all the difference. Kind regards Lissa

Too thin to be easily fitted to window, easily creased which makes it unusable unless you like creases. The colouring of the flowers isn’t as bright as in the pictures, very dull when on window. Extremely hard to remove once on the window Not really fit for purpose, wouldn’t order again

Really disappointed with how hard it was to peel away from the backing and how easy it was to kink on application because of how thin it was. Much prefer the ease and price of DC Fix. Using the washing up liquid made it 10x more slippery and therefore 10x harder to apply. I didn't even get enough to cover my front windows.

Hi Thank you for your review. We are sorry you had trouble removing the fine clear liner. This can be tricky but we do provide advice on how to do this in the fitting instructions. We wish you had contacted us when you were struggling as we would have been able to resolve the fitting issues you had with advice over the phone or by email. Is it possible you ordered the wrong quantity if you didn't have enough film for your windows but again if you had contacted us when you received delivery to let us know we would have course resent more film if it was a packing error. If we are unaware we can't correct a possible error. Kind Regards Lissa Green

Hello Robert, Sorry to hear a disappointment in your review after knowing the fault was not ours. I rang you last week to help and assist you, and after our phone call you thanked me for my help and advice. As we both agreed that if you have a full range of kitchen cupboards and you are trying to match just one door, the only option would be to paint match or change the broken kitchen door to a glass door to match your top kitchen cupboards. Sadly, we are unable to colour match and all ivory/creams come in different shades, as you discovered trying to match our ivory. Please don’t hesitate to contact me if I can help you any further. Kind regards, Liza

Don’t bother. Good quality film but we struggled to put it up and it creased so was ruined. Husband screwed it up and put it in the bin! Such a shame.

Hi Sue We are so sorry you were unhappy with the film, luckily you only ordered a small sample. A soapy water solution is used to fit the film which makes it easy to move around on the glass and squeegee out leaving a nice clean finish. I think you maybe fitted the sample directly to the glass. If you would like us to send you another sample free of charge please email us, we will be happy to do so. Kind Regards Lissa

Can't recommend for domestic use. I'm sure these work fine when professionally installed, but these weren't that inexpensive and yet essentially it was money thrown away, as after installing two both of them have too many imperfections in them to keep on. Not just bubbles, but also creases the films arrived with. I don't know how many times I'd have to buy this product to get a decent installation, but it'd certainly be far more expensive than a blind.

We are very sorry to hear that you had difficulty fitting the window film and were unhappy with the finish of the film once fitted. The majority of our customers fit the film to windows in their homes and without any issues at all. You mention that the film arrived creased and we do ask in our terms and Conditions that if the film is faulty to contact us before fitting it. If it has been damaged in transit which can occasionally happen or is faulty we would of course send replacement film. We are always happy to answer an email or telephone call is fitting advice is needed. Kind Regards Customer Services

Film arrived without instructions . Couldn’t separate the film from backing as per you tube . Assumed out film didn’t have an adhesive backing as it doesn’t say on website . Placed it up and it fell down overnight . Called the support line to be spoken to by a very rude unhelpful woman . She said as she gets older she hasn’t got the patience and we should of waited until we spoke to someone from Abodr . You have no support at weekends when we needed to do the job . Shame we was going to a lot more but due the unhelpful rude assistant we won’t be ordering from you again . . Are you aware of the way staff speak to customers ?

I am hugely disappointed at the size of the window film that I got. I thought that they were just samples. I can not use these small bits for what I had planned.
