    I have personally used this company and they are fab! Would highly recommend. We wanted it for privacy, to stop the harsh summer sun making our rooms so hot and also to protect the carpet. It does all of that! We wish we had had a few more rooms done, so will be looking into it at the start of next year.

    I do remember calling and getting some very good information, and also getting some samples to see which kind we wanted.

    They came and installed on both large patio doors and windows in two rooms, plus a large side window. They had it done in just a couple of hours!

    Pretty easy to install, clean window and spray with soapy water, take film off backing and stick on window. Squeegee the water and any air bubbles out from under the film. Most critical bit is getting the sizing right as there is little room for error. I applied it before installing the glass, so sizing was less critical as the trims would hide any slight errors.
