Great stuff can be tricky to cut but easy to apply and remove

This is great stuff. It's very easy to apply and the application process is very forgiving. Just clean your windows spray on a soap and water mixture peel the backing and apply. You can re-position it to get it just right and the use a credit card to get the water out from under the film.



It looks great. Very professional. And it's easy to remove.



It is rather tough to cut though. The roll is 36 x 72 and if you are cutting long pieces it can be tricky to get straight lines. I used a carpenter's T but I still messed up a bit.



The following comment is not about the product but about Amazon's packaging. I also didn't deduct stars for this:



The packaging is extremely wasteful. The roll itself is packaged in a rectangular plastic box but Amazon put that box in a massive box that could literally have held maybe 100 rolls. The box was stuffed with paper to take up the extra room.More detail ...

Great item can't beat the price!

I got these today and put them up about an hour ago - it took all of five minutes. I was debating whether to try them and to tell you the truth the review that made me decide to get them was the 1-star 'don't buy this product' review - it described exactly what they were and it sounded like they were exactly what I was looking for.

I live on a street just off of a major road in a very collegiate neighborhood. During the day I get a LOT of sun and at night there is a very bright streetlight just outside my window and it being a busy neighborhood there are usually fire trucks going up the street at night (those wacky college kids and their candles...) As I rent I didn't want anything too permanent and I wanted something easily replaceable and affordable in case of any problems that might spring up. I put these up behind my white roller shades and they're going to work fantastically - I can't wait for my day off when I can finally SLEEP through the morning!

They are heavy but flexible very thick paper thinner than oaktag/posterboard but very dense. The accordian pleat is very stylish. You raise and lower them by gathering the amount of shade you want to raise and clipping them with the plastic clips that are included in the box. To cut them don't use a knife - a simple pair of scissors works just fine as long as you don't try to cut the entire shade in one fell swoop.

The box of 6 shades was $30 with free super-saver shipping - at five bucks a pop they're well worth it (I certainly couldn't fold posterboard this accurately that's for sure!) My roomates will probably use a couple and again we have extras as well as the lengths cut off from the shades to use for something I'm sure.

They're probably not good if you want to raise and lower them often as I'm not sure how long the adhesive would hold but even so you could just get a roll of heavy duty double-stick should they come down.

I'm quite happy with these.



Edit: And now it's mid-March and I've had ZERO problems with these. I raise and lower them once daily and the adhesive has held just fine. "Sleeping In" is now my favorite (in)activity thanks to these.More detail ...
