BDF NA05 Window Film Daytime Privacy and Sun Control Natural Black 5 (Very Dark) - 36in X 12ft

I installed the BDF NA05 Natural Black 5 window film on two south-facing windows in my home office and living room. This is a true 5% VLT (visible light transmission) film, meaning it’s very dark — almost like there are heavy rain showers outside during a full sunny day. From the outside during daylight hours, you get excellent one-way privacy; people walking by or neighbors can’t see in at all. It gives the windows a sleek, classic black-tinted look that complements modern homes. The sun control performance is impressive. It rejects a good amount of heat (claimed up to 55%), noticeably reducing glare and keeping the rooms cooler in Texas summer. Application was straightforward with the standard soapy water method — the film is flexible and cuts cleanly, though it does require patience to avoid bubbles and creases. Overall, if you’re looking for maximum daytime privacy and sun/heat control and don’t mind darker interiors, this BDF NA05 Natural Black 5 is one of the better affordable options out there. It does exactly what it promises for privacy-focused applications.

The BDF NA05 Daytime Privacy and Heat Rejection Window Film does a fantastic job of providing daytime privacy while noticeably reducing heat from the sun on my southern exposure windows. The film is very dark, which works well in blocking out sunlight, and it's great for keeping my rooms cool without the need for heavy blinds or curtains. I applied it to the windows in my den, and the room is much cooler and darker, which works well for video calls. The Kit has a small squeegee, a razor knife, and a small squirt bottle. Do yourself a favor and purchase straight-edge razor blades, a large squirt bottle, and a bigger squeegee. Use the razor knife to cut your tint from the roll (I broke the blades after every four cuts to keep from tearing tint), and use the straight-edge razors to trim tint when applying to windows. It's essential to take your time to avoid bubbles. Use your squeegee and soap and water mixture to work out bubbles. The results are worth it once the tint is in place and dried. Overall, it is a solid product that serves its purpose well!

Works pretty well. I used it on my garage doors to help keep the garage cool. Went with the darkest color. It really works well. Unfortunately it’s really dark in my garage unless you have the lights on, but well worth the temperature difference. Fairly easy to install, just cut the pieces over sized then use the razor that comes with the time to trim to make exact size of frame. You can’t pre cut due to inconsistency’s in the window frames.

Clear instructions and functions as described. I'm not sure it's as effective against heat as they say, but it certainly helps. I was able to apply it to the smaller windows (24"x48") by myself, but needed help to do the larger ones (46"x48"). It settled in nicely on the windows - even the spot where we got the cling stuck to itself and had to force apart. It's very durable and so far, no lifting despite the extreme heat to that window (it's been on about 3 weeks). I like the privacy it gives during the day, too. It definitely darkens the room, but we were living with the curtains closed all the time anyway. Use plenty of soapy water - you really can't overspray. I thoroughly sprayed the window and the film. Then hung it and spent a fair amount of time working out the water and air with the squeegee provided, trimming edges, and using the squeegee again. It actually is not hard to apply, just need to take your time and be thorough... follow the instructions!

Great. Very dark. Was having issues with my fish tank getting sun. This fixed the issue. Very dark. Cannot see in from outside

SOOO much better than the previous product from Volcanics that I tried. This product has a darker finish, a LOT easier to apply, and it was only a few dollars more. I highly recommend this product. Just make sure to read the instructions on the box and wet the film and window a lot for easy adjustment when you first stick it to the window.

We get a lot of sun on the back of our house. We have two slider door’s. We put this on both sliders. Works great. Let’s light in, but blocks that brightness from outside. Love it.

I HOPE THIS SAVES SOMEONE ELSE FROM MAKING THE SAME MISTAKE! I ordered the BDF NA05 Window Film Daytime Privacy and Sun Control Black (Very Dark) in Oct of 2022, but was too nervous to attempt it. WELL, there is a video on their website that is amazing! This is so easy to do, I did it by myself on 36x28 windows while my husband was at work! JUST TAKE YOUR TIME and follow the video. Mistake 1: did not read what was included, ordered a window tinting kit --- did not need it, they included ALL of the tools you need, except the spray bottle. Mistake 2: AGAIN, I did not read all of the instructions, and ordered the NA05 --- I have double-paned windows! This is not for double-paned windows - apparently, it traps the heat, or something, between the glass and can break the glass! OPPS! See photos! No, my panes did not break, but you can see the temp difference! Mistake 3: Order 36x100 ft (because I want to do my entire house) of the S05 Mirrored style for double-paned windows. The numbers are similar, NA05, S05 - I thought it was the same color tint! I was worried about ordering the darker ones, I did not want darker windows, I LOVED the shade we had! THIS IS NOT THE CASE! The S05 is significantly lighter than the NA05. I am so bummed over this! I invested $250.00 and I am just not thrilled with the results! So overall - the product is super easy to install, and great quality - so much so I ordered $200 more - HOWEVER, the product number is misleading. YES, a "table" illustrates the shades, but the S03 appears extremely darker than what we had! The S03 would have matched the NA05. So my results - not very happy, just ehhh! Do I recommend it? I guess so, but I recommend getting a tester sheet before infesting a total of almost $300! NO, you could not tell it was going to be lighter before I cut it, this is MIRRORED!

Great purchase, easy to apply, tools that's needed were included with the purchase. Awesome tint, looks great,you won't regret!!

Producto bastante bueno, para exterior vamos a ver cuanto tiempo dura, pero hasta el momento el producto se ve de calidad

Lo volvería a comprar es un excelente producto

The product was exactly what I was looking for. I installed it on inside bedroom doors. I had to cut it in 12 different pieces, and still worked great to install. You need patient and a bit of DIY....

Tardo un poco en llegar, sin embargo valió la pena. Midiendo bien, mucha agua con jabón y que además viene con accesorios para instalar, me fue fácil colocar, incluso dónde me equivoqué, se volvió a utilizar sin problema. Lo recomiendo al 100. Compraré los que me hacen falta.
