Purchased '65% Silver Window Film' to fit onto shed window panes. I'd previously bought cheap film from a popular online shopping site with disastrous results! After seeking advice I ordered slightly more expensive one way mirror window film privacy from Lustalux for attempt #2. I was half expecting more disappointment but was relieved when the film was applied easily. I was thrilled with the finished results. Lustalux made the purchase straight forward: plenty of communications, fast delivery, item well packed and excellent fitting instructions. I would highly recommend them for one of the best mirrored window film. Thank you.
