UPDATE: It's hard to believe I've had this film up for a year and a month now and there's not one single spot that's lifting, and I knew it wouldn't. I'm confident this will hold until I finally move. If you are looking for a film that's sturdy and reliable, this is the one. I'm very happy with this purchase.First off, I'll say I love the aesthetics of this privacy film. The way my windows are situated, it throws a prism of color all the way into my dining room, which is the next room over. The largest prism is on the wall opposite the windows. It's beautiful! Another aspect I love is at night, it looks as if the window is covered in icicles. They're so pretty! I love looking at my windows now. BUT, that's not why you're considering purchasing this privacy film. So, here is my take on it:PREP WORK: I didn't go all spring cleaning crazy. I sprayed my windows with the detergent mixture you'll use when hanging the film. Then I wiped it down, then I sprayed with Windex and made sure the dirt and grime was all gone. Yes, I even left my ADT sticker in place.MEASURING and CUTTING: Measure once, then measure again. I began cutting by using the straight lines created by my wooden floor and lined the straight side up to that from the film. Then I used a wooden ruler, and on the SMOOTH side of the film, I drew a marker line. I used scissors to cut the film. I've found that making short cuts, rather than long ones, keeps my lines straight. And using a razor blade tends to rip the edges of the film.HANGING: I did most of it on my own. Impatient Son helped with the 2 bottom windows. Remove the invisible, non-tacky, backing (from the smooth side). You'll need to work from a corner of the film using your fingernail.SIDENOTE: YES, there really is a protective film, you'll probably be able to remove it quicker if you apply a small piece of tape to both sides of the film, and pull it apart from the corner. Once started, lay it flat, on the TEXTURE side, so it doesn't crease, finish removing the backing. Leave it laying flat.The trick is to spray the window, not soak it, and then liberally spray the film on the side that will adhere to the window (the smooth side) with a large spray bottle mixture of water and 3 to 4 drops of dish soap.Adhere the film to the window. Match the top and corners first. Then run your hands down along the sides and middle. Once it's hung, begin from the middle, using a flat edge (Credit Card, squeegee, etc.) work from the center out smoothing the film and removing water and air bubbles. Put something down to catch the excess water, I used a hand towel. This part probably takes the least amount of time and is the most satisfying. :)DURABILITY: It's been hanging for two weeks now with no sign of peeling up, no bubbles, no ripping. This film is thicker than the film I bought from a major Hardware store and that film stayed put for MONTHS until we moved and it was removed, I expect this will do the same.PRIVACY: Does it do what it's advertised to do? Yes... and No. It blocks the view from outside in and vice versa, if you're not standing right next to the window/door. Either way, you're only seeing shapes. I walked outside and put my face up to the door, cupped my eyes and still couldn't see any of my interior. Obviously, from my pictures, if you're standing in front (right next to) the door/window you'll be seen. I didn't apply it for that purpose, I don't want my neighborhood seeing in my house. At the end of the day, you're NOT seeing the interior of your house, you WILL see what's in front of the window or door. In the photos, I've not done the upper windows, I ended up going back and doing them too. My son made the comment that it feels much more comfortable sitting in the living room now. In the photo, you can see the dog and the plant that's right up on the door/ window, but you cannot see the many other plants on the same table from outside.WHAT IT COVERS: 157 inches covered 2 doors and 2 full windows.Hope this help! Have a great day everyone!!

I am so so happy I chose this one!! It's beautiful! I am now searching my house for more windows I can put this on. We needed a little privacy on the bottom of our bathroom window. I hate having the blinds down all the time so this was perfect. Let's the light it but doesn't let everyone see what's going on. Oh my goodness the picture doesn't do it justice on the beautiful colors that come in from the sun hitting it!!I put it up by myself in less than 15 minutes from start to finish. I added a picture of what I used. A squeegee I use to clean my glass doors, scissors, and a basic utility knife. I did spray the window with my misting bottle of water, which helped it stick while I put it up. It stuck on nicely, I trimmed the bulk extra then used the squeegee to get most of the bubbles out and trimmed it with the utility knife. Then I did a final squeegee to get any remaining bubbles and water from the back and was done. So easy and it's amazing! I 100% recommend this. I can't say enough good things. Pictures from the night I did it and the next day showing the sun coming through!

Easy to apply..the hardest thing was peeling the film off the back after that smooth sailing! It was night time when I did the kitchen windows but you can see how it looks in the daytime from the laundry room window...absolutely beautiful😍 It provides privacy while allowing light to come in

I think it’s cute! I have an old medicine cabinet with a glass door in my bathroom and I wanted to give it some character. I wish it concealed the contents of it just a little more but overall I like it! Easy to install so that was great!

I love this product. Originally, I bought them for my front door to keep the sun from making my living room hot. I liked them so much that I put them on my french doors to my office. When the sun shines through, it reflects rainbows all over and it’s awesome! I bought more so I could put them on part of my back door windows. And I put them on my front side windows next to my bay window to keep the sun out when the sun is going down. It has been really effective to keep my house cooler! Plus, nobody can look in my windows and see inside which is another plus! It was super easy to read the directions first. Theybare fun, elegant looking in my view! They are fun! Get a lot of compliments! My grandkids love them as well. Makes my house feel cozy!

I bought this to cover my front and back doors and I'm so glad I did!! Very easy to apply and looks great! The only struggle was getting the film cover off the back, I made a little nick at the top with my boxcutter and that helped with removing it. Definitely recommend!

These add such a nice touch. Wanted privacy without sacrificing light, so didn't want blinds or curtains. These work great. The sun shines through them and creates beautiful rainbows over the room! Privacy is achieved, even at night.Although the pattern of the flowers DOES technically have a direction, we installed it sideways and it looks great.Installation was SUPER easy and they have stayed on well! Just make sure to use a lot of soapy water, and a good amount of pressure while squeegeeing the water out. I would recommend cutting a slight bit smaller than the window you want covered as it makes installation easier. I would not recommend cutting it when it is on the window already. it's better to have a small gap around the privacy film than to use a knife on expensive windows!!!

Me costo un poquito de trabajo instalar , peto vale la pena porque se ve muy bonito !!!

Very easy to put on. Looks nice, and gives you privacy!

Absolutely THRILLED with this product! Best purchase in a long time! I love having my windows open, but don't want my neighbors to be able to be nosy: mission accomplished! The film is easy to put up, but you do need to be meticulous about how you align it at the top and it's a 2 person job if you have big windows, like I do. It leaves no residue when removing it because there's no glue at all and it's easy to reposition if you put it on the wrong way accidentally (just spray water to help move it). After the film is up, it's so good to be able to open your window and no one can see what's going on inside, even at night with the lights on in the house. You can see outlines if something is close to the window, but if it's a little further, you can't tell what's going on inside (or outside for that matter). It also looks much prettier than regular window bluring film because of the flower design that reflects rainbows when light hits it.

Stuffs awesome! A little bit of water a old card and some time maybe with a second set of hands, It's easy to put up. I did end up putting it up all by my self but would of been easier with a bit of help. its strong as was easily cut with scissors or a knife, I just used a knife to cut it to size. 10/10 honestly would recommend.
