I originally bought this to restrict anyones view of inside our home, we have two neighbors that are up a hill and have a perfect view of our kitchen/living room. we just moved here a few months ago and I had noticed that when aproching my house from the back street I could see directly into my kitchen window and kitchen back door, I was shocked that the previous residents didnt already have privacy added to the windows as I did! After I put the tint up it took no time at all for me to notice how convenient it could be. I asked a friend what she thought about it and if it looked okay, and she started telling me she wouldnt have put it up on the back windows of the house, that she would put it up in my livingroom so that people passing by could see it. although I did not get it for people passing by to look at, I realized alot of my friends dont like the look up close but from far away they are fooled. I got it for privacy and to block small amounts of sunlight. I picked the amber color because my entire house is painted yellow, with white trim. so this workes wonderful and is beautiful in the daytime. I cant see through it and thats perfect because thats why I got it. I also bought an additional one for my bathroom window and for the same reason, privacy, not looks, but it will shock you just how amazing it looks in the daylight, or at night with a porchlight on. in my bathroom it elluminates the light and makes the bathroom all golden yellow. its so peacful and pretty in the mornings when i get up. dont let the look of it all rolled up and not applyed to the window yet fool you, it does look rather fake and stupid looking when in the box rolled up, but once u put it up on the glass its so pretty! I would advise getting one for every window in your house, even the little window in your back door and the glass screen doors with the windows, SO AWSOME. its so pretty too. makes your house look very nice to.

Iam very happy with my purchase.it was easy to apply. in my case i used plexiglass. it worked really nice. the key to fast and painless application is a really wet surface to lay it on, then sqeeze out the water starting at center. i used a credit card carefully not to scratch it.
it was easy and it looks great.i was surprised at how real it looks.

We have an old house with a beautiful old front door. It has a large window. We have plantation shutters on all the windows for privacy and a curtain on the window of the door looked silly. This film went on so easily and looks wonderful. It really does look like a stained glass piece from outside. I get my sunshine and light and the privacy I was looking for.

We have used this product before; once in a bathroom window and another in a commercial application. And like those, this was as easy as it gets. The commercial application is going on 3 years with no issue.

I would rate it a 5 except for the fact that 24x36 seldom fits any window you are wanting to do. In this case, we had to turn the pattern on its side and cut along one of the black edges and repeat the pattern to get it to cover the width of the garage window. Same with the older application, and that one not being a geometric pattern, you can see the cut.

I put this on the 'above the kitchen sink' window that offers a lovely view of my neighbors wall :/
I was pleasantly surprised at how good it looks, it looks even better from outside, especially at night when the light is on. I'll be out front with my dogs & I will just stare at it, it is convincing. I have the Magnolia version of this product in a bedroom window, it is also very nice. The sunlight coming through this casts a warm glow, I like it.

What a great looking product. We previously used this same product to give a FLW look to our windows in an old house we used to live in before we built our new house. Everyone was always commenting about our "stained glass windows" & couldn't believe they were just window films. When we sold our house, we had to tell the realtors who told us many of the people looking at our house also thought we had stained glass windows until they got up close to them. In our new house, we used the film we just got on our shower door. WOW!! It instantly classes up the shower door to give it that arts & crafts FLW look. Very satisfied with this product over the 7 years we have used it. Highly recommend it to anyone wishing to jazz up their windows (works really great in our bathroom windows for privacy) or regular windows or shower doors.

The two sheets arrived in great condition in just 2 days! They were easy to cut to fit the multi-paned door. They look great, and get compliments from all my visitors.

One word of caution. Be sure to keep the backing dry, dry, dry. If it gets wet, it will stick to the film, and will not be removable.

This is such a great item. They work wonderfully for their purpose (giving me much needed privacy in my apartment, because my windows look directly into my neighbors); however, they perform this function while adding a lot of color and making the decor more fun. The previous reviewer who said the item looks ridiculous in the box was right--- I looked at it while it was still on the contact paper and thought "uggghhh, this is ugly, I'm returning this thing." However, I lifted an edge off the paper and looked at it in the sun, and noticed that the material looks very nice with the light shining through it. So I put it up, and I think it looks great. So happy I went with this item that I'm buying more. They are also incredibly easy to put up--- I cut up the geometric rectangles and actually reconfigured them into a new design to go more with my taste.

I've always loved this style and was pleased to find it at such a great price. It was eazy to put on, however I still didn't get all the small bubbles out, but using a credit card is the best. I put the film on my front door windows and have had nothing but compliments on how real the stain glass effect looks. I would definitly recommend this product anyone.

I bought a frost window film by the company, Gila, for bedroom privacy. I viewed the videos on how to install it. I definitely needed to follow the detailed instructions to the letter, as well as having to need a helper. I expected the same precise instructions for the Amber Window Film by Artscape. No so! The Artscape film is much thicker and has a stretch quality to it. I had no helper and installing it was a cinch.

Some helpful observations and tips:
1) Whatever you do, DO NOT get the paper backing wet. It sticks to the film and I painstakingly took a long time scraping off dots of paper with a razor blade. 1 or 2 dots show on the window but fortunately they're at the bottom.
2) When I opened it I thought I bought the wrong film. With the paper backing still on, it looks cheesy and fake so I was skeptical on the final look. If you're looking for realistic stained glass, you will be disappointed. If you need a pretty-cool, semi-private window covering, this is for you.
3) At night you can see objects in blur. I'm paranoid so I shine a desk lamp directly at the window to further obscure the transparency. On the upside, the amber looks awesome when the sun shines through it during the day.
4) Adding panels isn't hard. There is a stretch to the film so when you're squeezing out the water with a squeegee, be sure to keep checking whether the film is still in place. Any gaps can be stretched over.
5) I used soapy water, a one dollar spay bottle, a $3 dollar straight edge covered in heavy duty paper towels from the hardware store as a squeegee, and sharp razor blades. Have a ruler and a marker and don't bother buying any expensive kits.
6) I checked the orientation of the length and width to determine I needed 3 panels. Save time and money by maximizing the panel's surface area and orientation in relation to the window.

I'm really happy with how my office window looks! It's prettier than all my neighbors windows (which isn't hard since some folks have bedsheets or blankets up...ugh!). It's not only a nice aesthetic worth the time and effort but it's a simple thing that looks impressive!
