City Lights Window Privacy Film by Artscape - Decorative Stained Glass Design, Static Cling, Blocks Views, Not Light, Fade Resistant, Easy DIY Installation, Made in USA - 24 x 36 Inch

We have the very narrow and very old door from our mudroom to our pantry in our old Victorian farmhouse. Unfortunately the glass is glazed a bit unevenly where the wood of the door has been abused over the years, so its not a perfectly straight line there. That made fitting the vinyl a bit trickier along the bottom, but I just put the rest in place and then dress an ultrafine point sharpie across the film to mark and score the where the glaze was. It worked pretty well. A basic plastic bread bowl scraper worked to remove the bubbles. It does allow a decent amount of light in, though this pattern is a bit darker than most. More than anything I needed to block the view of a certain 5 month old German Shepherd puppy who likes to jump up and peer thru the glass when we go into the mudroom for her kibble. As she gets bigger, I guarantee she will punch thru that glass if we don't block her view. She already tore down several iterations of curtains, so here's hoping this works. 🤞 The decal definitely adds privacy to the door, maybe too much. I can't decide. The only one's looking thru that particular glass are our chickens from the coop, and I rather liked being able to glance out and see if there were predators out there. So we really only needed to block the bottom half. In other words, this might be too much privacy for me, but its easy enough to remove when puppy training is done. In the meantime, its quite beautiful, not cheap looking at all, and easy to apply and remove, so I have no complaints. My only other concern is whether it will stay put when the weather turns cold. The mudroom is unheated, so it freezes each winter. Will the film stay put with one side warm and one cold? Stay tuned for that answer. 😉

I ordered this film to cover a clear window in my front door which I didn't care for. The negative reviews and high return rate gave me pause, but after reading the negative review it became apparent that people seemed to be basing their criticism on the fact that they were evidently expecting a longer roll than what they received, which is frankly on them, as the listing description accurately state the size of the product. As to the product itself, it is nice and thick, seems to be excellent quality, and was easy to work with in terms of trimming, removing the backing, and installing on the glass. It also includes instructions that are easy to understand for anyone who has never worked with this sort of material before. As you can see in my before and after photos, this product made a big difference in how my front door looks. We love it and I highly recommend it, especially for the great price.

This was easy to install and looks awesome. It is not see-through at all so provides excellent privacy while still letting light shine through.

First off, this stuff is a quality product. It is much thicker than I expected and does not feel like some cheap cellophane style ones that are out there. Installation is pretty easy as long as you follow a couple of key steps. Many of these have been said already, but after installing five of these. I feel the need to include my two cents. 1: Get yourself a spray bottle and fill it with water and several drops of liquid dishwashing soap. 2: I found the small squeegee that comes with the kit to actually work really well. I had a larger one, but smaller is better in this scenario as it is easier to get the bubbles out. 3: I would HIGHLY recommend making a template of the window with some Rosin / Butcher paper before cutting the film. Cut the paper out to a perfect fit, then transfer the template to the actual film. If you cut the film 1/8” larger than the opening, it is next to IMPOSSIBLE to cut the film while it is on the window. I know this sounds absurd, and I did not believe anyone else who said this, but it is. I have a precision set of Exacto knives that will slice anything with the slightest touch (basically they are scalpels). For some reason once the film gets wet, and you try and cut any excess that is sitting on the edge of the frame or weather stripping, it pulls the film away from the glass. I have a mild case of OCD, so I spent over one hour trying to prove that I could cut it. Well I cut it, as in my finger, and the film, but of course not where I intended to. So after all that, make a template, cut it exact ahead of time, or slightly smaller than the glass. You really can’t tell if the film is 1/8” smaller than the opening, so don’t stress out if you are slightly off. 4: So now that you have the film cut, spray the window with a bunch of water / soap, peel the paper back and coat the inside of the film. Place it into position, and spray the heck out of the film, BEFORE using the squeegee. Start in the middle and work out all the bubbles and water from inside. Keep the film coated with water so the squeegee slides easily. As you get close to the edge, you will see the last drops of water coming out. If the film is slightly larger than the glass, then the water will be trapped inside and will not fully stick to the glass. If this happens, slightly pull up on the film as you squeegee to help the water come out. The final result looks like real stained glass, and all and all, a fairly easy process. Cheers!

Firstly, this is gorgeous and I love it! Secondly, the thickness is perfect, and it's a super simple installation with perfect stickiness (it's not actually sticky at all; it CLINGS to the window when you wet the window properly). Thirdly, this is 100% private (love this because my dogs can't see outside and cannot see the houses/dogs across the street! Sun protection is great, and when the sun is shining, the panels allow plenty of light through. So based on these things, I would recommend this product. If you have windows you want to cover that are LESS THAN 36" in HEIGHT, this is perfect for you. *****MEASURE your project according to HEIGHT so that you purchase enough***** *******I wish these were available in LONGER lengths like the ones you can find from other companies********

Vraiment très joli. Facile à poser, adhère bien. En plus livré avec la petite raclette. Tout est parfait

Makes looking at my window enjoyable. Great privacy and light filter

Il disegno è proprio molto bello. Io ho rivestito un plexiglass e non un vetro. Devo dire che non è proprio felice di starci attaccato. Il vetro sarebbe stato perfetto mentre sul plexiglass ogni tanto bisogna schiacciare gli angoli.

It’s priced more than the other brand I ordered for another project. The other product was so tightly wound and thinner material when I cut pieces to size, the material had a curling I have yet to remove. Making it Impossible to use. This product went on super easy with zero problems. Took minutes. Best quality and absolutely beautiful! Will definitely buy again. Made in America and you can tell by the quality and functionality.

The product is a nice thick quality film. It's simply applied, by mixing some dishwashing detergent with water, in a plant sprayer, then giving the glass a good soaking (light spaying will not do the job). IMPORTANT: Take care to cut the film to the correct size and ensure you cut it on a SOLID surface, otherwise cutting could be difficult. Ensure you squeegee out, all the water and any bubbles, after positioning the film, using the supplied tool. I fitted some Dimmable LED strips to my cabinet, to back-illuminate the film, if you look at the pictures, you can see how effective that is. Just don't rush the installation and you'll be very happy with the results.
