Make a BIG window? Here is information about the MATCH.

To paraphrase Tim Allen from Big Trouble, Strange Name. Good product". It's a good heavyweight vinyl which I found very easy to work with. Hidden areas are achieved using a fine diagonal prismatic texture on the inner surface which creates a pleasing effect. If you are making more than one or two windows , I highly recommend getting a kit like the ASIN B002YXPITY which includes the sprayer you will need anyway and enough pre-mixed liquid to clean your entire house.Direction of the pattern corresponding to the vertical length of the roll what means one roll covers an area of glass up to 35-1/2" wide by 78-3/4" high. If your window is larger, you'll need to consider how to fit two or more pieces together. (It's not a Coincidence that in all the product photos every window wider than a roll has dividers!) This CAN be done, but it's NOT like wallpaper where you just have to match one strip to the other horizontal repeat is 20-9/16 inches, which unfortunately is not a simple fraction of the width of the roll. This means you can start with a full-width strip, but then each subsequent strip will need to be cut lengthwise to the right size. Width 20-9/16", loss of 42% of material. The vertical repeat is 17-15/16", but it is neither "full tilt" nor "half tilt", but 7-1 /16" -- sort of a "39% slope". Since the repeat isn't a simple fraction of length either, each roll starts at a different point in the pattern. All of this means you'll be laying the rolls on the floor or the lay out your work surface and want to experiment to find the most efficient use of the material. My first picture shows these repeated pattern sizes graphically. For widths greater than 56" but less than 76-1/2" you should fill the first full-width strip in center and then add strips on each side to avoid a seam down the center.This is what I did for the domed window, about 70" wide - my second picture shows how the cuts were made (I'm useless without AutoCAD ) able to make very tight seams that are barely noticeable.

Pros
  • Lots of positive vibes
Cons
  • No show
