I see the description says it blocks UV- anyone see an improvement in their utility bill (I.e. Heating&amp; air conditionin after installing this film?

Hi Don't bother buying this product. Very difficult to put on and does nothing to reduce to cost in utility bill.

I don't know about your specific situation but I do know that when I put that film on my front door, it really reduced the glare into my foyer. Without the film on the front door, you could see directly into our kitchen and into the utility room on the lower level. Now, you can't see in the house standing directly in front of the door. I really love the film. It also reduces the heat from the sun on my inside door. (Film is installed on the storm door.) Hope this helps.

Hello!! I called gila on this same question. They told me the platinum was designed specifically for the Home Depot chain. And it may be sold other places like amazon or independent sellers. The gila rep told me that the only difference in all heat control film is one blocks like 93 percent of UVA and UVB rays, and the platinum blocks like 95 percent, she said ultimately there is no difference in performance except the platinum because of it's Color , blocks out a couple more percentage points of sun rays. But I personally recommend the platinum this stuff is so cool! I live in a 2 story condo and my kitchen window faces the parking lot, I like to people watch and see what's going on out there, In the daytime, this stuff is a high gloss silver mirror to those on the outside, and I can stand and gawk and stare out the window at people and nobody knows I'm even looking at them! It's a great color, and provides great heat reduction! I highly recommend it..

It defuses the sun light. No squinting. Suppose to help with uv. You do not feel direct sun het. I like the product. Not easy to install.

While I agree with the other response that it does not stick all that well to the window (make sure you put the right side to the window), nevertheless I am grateful for it. I use it on my side windows and just stick it up into the window crevice. It is easy to put up and down. In this way I can have protection from the sun in the front and side. I have no idea if it blocks the UV rays; I just need blockage from the sun in my eyes while driving. I use it all the time.

It's supposed to block 95% of UV rays. The Shade Sail comes with large D rings at the corners and 3 pieces of nylon rope. I just hammered a couple of nails into the face of my front porch to hook two of the D rings and tied two pieces of the rope together to tie the 3rd end to a Palm Tree

I was quite satisfied with this film, but on its own it is not enough to provide privacy for a window. I used it on some glass cabinet doors that we store DVDs in, and I definitely can see through it to some degree. Used in combination with your frosted glass, however, it might be adequate. The big home improvement stores sell window film that is specifically for your purpose. It's more expensive but perhaps worth checking out.

One more thing.... I also added an Honeywell UV light in the duct to kill bacteria in the air and also is effective during the summer when the a/c condenser has water sitting on the coil or in the process of draining. You can purchase one on Amazon... and it is easy to install.

None of these extensions you find on Amazon are rated for UV. If this is a temporary installation, don't worry about it (though you could always enclose the wire in remnant garden hose and heat shrink the ends... if you were determined to do so). You'll be happier in the long run by having an electrician install outdoor outlets on a short post, away from the structure, which is probably the problem you are working around.

Steve,I believe its a great idea, I ordered this item but the quality is very poor in my opinion. The directions are a little difficult to grasp, also i said the same thing in a review to amazon. Check out some others UV sanitizers before you purchase this item. Good Luck!!

I purchased the dark tinted skylight and strongly assume it does block some uv light. I have not tested it to be certain.

Not at all I hope that helps. It meant to block the sun and possibly help with cooler inside your home. I have not noticed a difference though after four months, perhaps when it gets hotter in ca. Best of luck.thanks.

Website says blocks UV rays from up to 400 nanometers? Here's the link. http://www.bolle.com/technology/goggle/technology

I agree with the others that you may get a glimpse of it; it's inside the appliance. I don't believe it's exposing me to any UV light. It's the light on the front control panel that is BRIGHT (and why I covered it with black tape/paper so I can sleep)

nothing to noticeable, to be honest. we also have a heat bulb we can put in if cold, which reminds me I should put it in, lol. unit works pretty good for us.

Not the one I purchased. I remover the power plug and bypassed that filter. I should have returned it as the taste of the water was not good through the UV stage,but I did not bother too after reading the reviews. If you don't need UV for your water buy the 6 stage as I bought this unit and probably don't have a UV issue with our County water department. Good luck and have plenty time for following the installation instructions.

Dear Amazon User, I installed clear, colorless UV blocking film from Gila on the bottom row of my french window (with 4 rows) because the light only came through the bottom row due to the overheng of my roofline. I found that I cannot see any difference in the coated windows versus the uncoated. It is quite undetectable. Ken in So Cal.
