That is probably the difference between a 'professional' film & a DIY one ??

Lol well in this weather is just great to be able to walk about indoors in your birthday suit waving at those walking by jumping up and down and they haven't a clue whats going on

dont do it in the dark though as you can see in from the outside if you have the lights on!

Maybe. But also forgot we have the conservatory then the front door so that's probably why as well.

Its definitely worth the cost as we still haven't put any air con or fans on yet and its lovely and cool when we come home.

Hi.

Was it difficult to apply from the roll yourself? I ask because neither my hubby nor myself are very DIY-able. Lol

Thanks

Kath

that rather depends how you approach doing it,  if you are good a wallpapering you should be able to do it, at first my husband was trying to get one corner perfect then finding the rest almost impossible to get right.

I approached it right from the centre at the top and made long  firm strokes downwards and continued working  from the top till i got to the sides. 

We have a very large patio door and window which we may do but i would imagine this would be more difficult.

If you are unsure i would imagine you would easily loose patience with fitting it yourself so i would suggest getting it fitted professionally though our finish is perfect, i am glad we  did it ourselves but we tend to do a  lot of diy.

Good luck in whatever you decide.... i think its been worth  the investment and time.

regards  Linda.
