      I got the solution with the frosted film and just used my shower squeegee to smooth out the film and get ride of any moisture left. It worked pretty good. Also I sprayed a lot so it was really wet so it wouldn’t stick to itself why’ll I put it up on the window

    I use this Gila DIYsolution, today. I did my bathroom window with Gila's stain glass window effect window film. I use a plastic scrape I had from pampered chef. Worked perfect. I watched this video before I did my window. I used the tip about the tape. Thanks to your video. I felt confident I could do my window. What a sweet little family.

    You guys are hilarious! I don't usually like when people ramble or leave a lot of unnecessary info or recorded parts but i like that you left things unedited. It was silly and cute without being annoying and I think that's hard to pull off in a tutorial. Great video!

    So, I was hunting around for videos for this film having just brought it home from Lowe's. I removed the framing and cleaned the window. While I was watching this, my window fell out of the its casing and fell flat on the floor. It didn't break. However, now, I need to recaulk it. Nice job on yours. Especially working over the sink.

I’ve heard (yesterday; not sure if true, but more than one said) it is never good to complain to management. Doing so will have you evicted. Yikes! I was wondering if caulking would hold it in. Thanks. Reading the comments helped.

    It makes me very uncomfortable since I used to live in a bad area and I'm not used to a nice neighborhood even after a year now here -im also generally very introverted haha

    This product is awesome, bought the same thing at home depot but I installed a solar light outside so it turns on during the evening with the light facing the window so it still appears like a mirror from the outside and nosey neighbors can't see in. As long as there is a bright light hitting the window from the outside, people cannot see inside your house.

      I like that it’s simple and easy to take off if say you live in a rental home. Plus it blocks 99.9% of UV light that can damage say hardwood floors in the summer time when the UV light at its strongest. I didn’t notice much heat blocking but that’s okay did block a bit of heat so that’s something

    • @ryans413
      @ryans413 Před 2 lety

      No instructions say two person job but I did it by myself trick is first take the solution and wet a flat clean table like a kitchen table then roll film out. Go measure the window and cut a couple inches bigger then your window. Take the solution and spray the glass clean any dirt off the glass before wetting the glass with the solution. Spray the film all over get it nice and wet then when you start to peel the adhesive off spray the sticky side so the film doesn’t stick to its self that can be very annoying. Stick the film to the window use your hands to smooth it out. Now spray the film again grab a squeegee and flatten out all air bubbles keep spraying the solution until your happy with it. Clean everything dry and I took a pocket knife and cut the access film off and then let the adhesive dry it took a good day after I applied it to fully cure. It sound difficult but it was pretty easy

    I haven’t noticed any real heat blocking but the UV rays are the most important one. The UV rays destroyed my hardwood I don’t have AC and the UV rays heated up my floor too much humidity and destroyed them. Since I put this film up and I fixed the floors had to cut out the broken warped boards and replace them this film as stoped that from happening so very happy.

    I love these window films but if you live in the area where you have birds then you want to cover both side of your windows. Birds see there reflection and hit themselves on the window. Sometimes breaking the window or hurting themselves. I have this many times, but i still use these films. In a pinch you can also cut gorcery bags and paste them up with soap and water solution.

Is the gluey residue left on window. The wife is concerned about that. Please help.

    @linden5576 Před 2 lety +1

    I’m thinking about mirrored window cling tint and a few of my windows. Not for heat or light purposes but for privacy purposes of being able to see out and not see in. I don’t like the idea of the inside mirror at night so, I was wondering if I put the mirror tent on if I could put like a slightly dark tent over top of the mirror on the inside. That way it will be a little darker all together with the amount of light that comes in but would it cut down on the mirror effect on the inside the window at night? I live in a northern state and we get winters and with the snow on the ground at night it’s never pitch dark like in the summertime the snow lightens things up so I’d like to have my window open and be able to see out without a mirror effect on the inside! So I’m hoping if I get a slightly dark film and apply it on the inside of the window as A second layer on top of the mirror film (mirror side facing out the window), if that would cut down on the mirror defect on the inside when it’s dark outside. I can’t add a dark only tint to the inside of my windows , Because it will absorb heat from the sun of the south facing windows and break the seal on my double pane windows and maybe even crack the glass! So I thought maybe I’ll try to films one over top of the other. Any advice?

    This product is either defective or does not work. I cannot see out but u can clearly see in when my lights are on. All i can see is a reflection. The adhesive was taken off while applying solution. I past that sticky side against the window and then u tell yourself this has to go this way. But mine must be a defect. Because i definitely can see in more than out. And it isnt that i applied it on backward because the adhesive cover is removed from the side that sticks to the window.

    You're not suppose to use strong cleaners like Windex as they contain alcohol & ammonia (will cause color distortion & streaking), next time use a soft detergent like baby shampoo. Otherwise good job! :)

    Anyone know what is a good solution? Just water and soap? What kind of soap if so? I’m not buying the gila spray solution for another 30/40 bucks 🙄
    Thanks
