We love this stuff. It blocks out the light and the heat, it is also pretty, you can cut it however you like, make an art deco design if you wish. I don't know how it lasts, but I'll let you know next year, because even if it only lasted a year, it still would be worth it. Super impressed!
I'm using this as an alternative to bedroom curtains for our dust sensitive family. It blocks light and heat very effectively in our Queensland home and looks good too.
Not hard to use but is quite time consuming on first set up as theres lots of measuring and cutting. I cut it bigger than the actual window itself so it overlaps around the edges so theres no light peeping through along the edges of the window frame. Comes off super easy.
Hardest part is cutting to the right size and getting it to stick straight.
Wish it came in a bigger size as we have big windows and they do not JOIN very well. I have just used masking tape to stop it from falling off where they join each other.
Otherwise, great product and really does the job! Awesome that you can use the window as normal and not obstructed.
I also have the Tommee tippee blockout blinds are these are way superior in blocking out light. Though the tommee tippee ones are super easy to suction on.
After a few tries of trying to put this up, I cut it into small pieces roughly 30cm long and that made it easier to line up and get onto the window smoothly with a ruler. I have had to use masking tape in some areas that kept lifting. It’s very fiddly to do and time consuming but once you get it up it works completely blocking out any light
Blinds came highly recommended unfortunately, there is no information that indicates if you have textured windows, they don’t stick. Spent the time measuring, cutting and placing blinds up only for them to start falling down within a day. They work fine on a smooth window surface but I would have liked a forewarning!
I put it on one side of my window to try. The room got a lot darker indeed but in a few days the blackout started coming out of the window. It looked like it shrunk as I cut the right size and a few days latter it was smaller than the window. I bought a tape to try to stick that to the window again. Hopefully it will work this time.
While this product isn't bad, it isn't as great as I'd hoped. I had to use tape on the window to get it to stick (even having followed the instructions) and it was quite fiddly/difficult to get it right to the edge of the window.
Product was easy to apply, though after about a week, it peeled from the window.
It doesn’t fit flush with our window trim to some light comes in thru cracks
With water adhesion it has come off window once or twice
