Need privacy, decoration, insulation, or UV protection for a window in your home?

Consider installing a privacy window film inside a glass window! We have a window that overlooks our neighbor’s entry area, and we wanted to create a little more privacy. So I recently tried this highly rated Rabbitgoo 3D privacy film in the window. I’m excited to share the great results with you today because it’s an inexpensive solution that totally works!

Reasons to LOVE Rabbitgoo 3D Privacy Film

  • It’s inexpensive! The current price is only $8.99.
  • It’s non-adhesive! Yep, it uses static cling to stick, and there’s no sticky glue involved.
  • Installation was fairly easy. It just requires a little measuring and cleaning the window.
  • It adds decoration and interest. There are different designs and patterns to consider. The square mosaic pattern I purchased is pretty to look at! It creates a rainbow reflection at a certain time of day.
  • There are so many places to use privacy film. You can install it on a sliding door, kitchen window, garage door, bedroom windows, office windows, and more!
  • It can be energy-saving! Heat-controlled window vinyl can help retain heat in the winter and cold air in the summer.
  • There are different purposes: Rabbitgoo makes coverings for decorative and for privacy reasons. Just be sure to read carefully to ensure you’re buying the right privacy film for the right room (and purpose).

Easy Installation Instructions: 

  • Clean the window thoroughly.  
  • Measure the surface and cut the film. Leave an extra inch margin on each side for easy adjustment.
  • Prepare a solution of soapy water in a spray bottle.
  • Spray the surface with the soapy water. Peel off the transparent backing film along a short side.
  • Install the film onto the window by pressing it to the area.
  • Use the squeegee to remove excess water and any bubbles while applying the film. Wipe off the water using the towel.
  • Trim off the margins.

Hip Tips: 

  • Improvise if you don’t have a squeegee! I didn’t have one on hand, so we improvised with a ruler (it worked fine to smooth out bubbles).
  • Don’t skip the measuring when ordering. I needed to order another roll to finish my window.
  • Make sure to clean the window well. I first used a rag with soapy water to get all dust off, then finished with Windex and paper towel.
  • I picked an easy pattern to cut straight! This mosaic grid pattern was easy to cut because of the square pattern.

Result: This is a quality window film!

Overall, I think this is a helpful product that serves its purpose to add some privacy, and definitely some UV protection! I’d consider installing it again in other rooms, as it was a simple project to complete, and I can remove it easily if desired.

A note on privacy:

According to Rabbitgoo, there are different privacy ratings on their 3D window film, with this one (shared above) having a lower privacy level – it’s mainly for decoration and some insulation and UV protection. Please keep that in mind when selecting a window film.

You can find the exact privacy level on the product pages of every window film on each amazon.com listing if you are not sure, or you can contact Rabbitgoo.com for any questions.

    This product and all their others get terrible reviews. I would not take a chance on wasting my money ona producy that is so difficult to install according to the many reviews. Great idea but not realistic for a klutz like me.

      Hi Mary! I personally bought some due to the great reviews and tested it out! I thought the install was simple because you get the window wet and it just sticks. It’s also easy to reposition if you mess up at first. My son helped me hold it straight and I felt it was helpful to have another person as a helper , but definitely doable 👍

    We bought this product and we love it. In our guest bathroom we have a round window IN the shower. Not very private. This did the job. Still lets in the natural light but we now have the privacy we so desperately needed.

    • Lina D (Hip2Save Sidekick)

      That’s a great solution! Thanks for sharing Michelle 👍

    Bought this the day I read your post, I was so excited that I didn’t have to buy the nearly $30 rolls for sale at Home Depot. Glad I measured, I needed two rolls. It did take me a few hours to measure it perfectly and get it up just right, but I didn’t have a second set of hands available. It was very easy to actually install and It was incredibly forgiving to reposition when I goofed up. Also, I purchased a print that disguised any seams. Love love love it. It has drastically cut down on my dogs barking like maniacs looking out the front door.

      Oh I’m so glad it worked out for you Rachael! Thanks for sharing with us 👍

    This is exactly what I’ve been wanting! I looked at some of the “etched glass” looking ones at Home Depot but they were not private enough. We have a huge window next to the toilet, it goes almost all the way to the floor. (Who designs a bathroom like that?) I’m sure no one can see through the blinds but I feel so awkward if I’m sitting on the throne and the lawn guy comes to mow. Lol!! Just a little added privacy would make me feel less conscious.

      LOL! I would feel the same way. SO glad these will be helpful!
