Love Love Love Good for window decals and films

Great product! We covered all the windows in the solarium with this material. So I knew exactly what it was about. Our entire solarium has glass windows so this was our top choice for privacy. My favorite bonus is being able to watch the kids play in the garden and they have no idea they are being watched. It is very bright during the day. If you look out of the windows from the outside, just look at yourself in the mirror. Viewed from the outside from the inside, it's just a light shade. However, at night you can peek inside a bit, especially when the interior is really lit. The lighter inside, the better the view. This was never a problem for us because at night our moving lights are on and the landscape lighting is on so it's not completely dark outside. I received this order for our front door which is all glass. I'm so happy I did. I have a really nice bird feeder that I put on our porch that is filled with blue jays and cardinals and our cats can sit 2ft in it and watch them and the birds have no idea. It is also good that nobody can look in from the outside, neither passers-by, lawyers nor the postman. I can open the door wide and still have privacy. From the outside it looks like a big mirror, which is good because it reflects the landscape and flowers. Night time is not a problem because firstly we don't normally have the door wide open at night and secondly if we did the porch light would be on. The key to removing the backing from the foil is to put a piece of tape on each side and slowly peel back. The key to successful application is full impregnation of the glass. I used invisible glass and it worked great. The wetter it is, the easier it is to apply. If it sticks and doesn't slip off easily, you need to spray more. The key to the successful use of the squeegee is also to spray the outer film onto the pane after it has been applied. This will make your mop's job much easier. Hope that helps! I am attaching a photo of the inside and outside.
