This window film adds a nice look to the window and is fairly easy to apply. While it does significantly increase our privacy, it does NOT completely block the view from the outside. We have a fairly small and high up window, so it keeps us completely modest. See video for an outside, night-time view. This video was taken with my wife waving her arms approximately 1 meter (3ish feet) away from the window.

Hope you find this helpful!

Still smarting after a recent wrangle with Gila film, I was hesitant to try Artscape's window film, but am pleased I did. Installation really was quite a snap (albeit a wet one), and with a little patience and good backlighting - you'll want to install window film during the day so you can better see and chase out any bubbles - I found myself with a quite lovely rice paper privacy window in under a half hour. It seems durable, and is very pretty. The real test of any "cling" style window film is whether they maintain adherence over time, so I'll update this review a few months from now to report on that. That said, this $20 impulse buy at the Home Depot turned out to be one of the most satisfying little home projects I've done. Huzzah Artscape!

The product is easy to adhere to the window, and the finished product looks nice. We applied this film to a window in our shower and were disappointed with the level of privacy it offered. It did not obscure the view into the bathroom from the outside very well at all.

Ok, we debated about buying this window film, because it was pricey, and we didn't know anyone who had actually tried it. We just wanted to have a little privacy in a bathroom window, when the curtain was raised, yet still let light in. We had no luck finding a similar product locally, so we finally bit the bullet and ordered this rice paper window film.

Let me just preface this to say, "...if anything can go wrong, it will go wrong when I'm installing, fixing, working, etc." My first mistake was assuming this was peel and stick. I should have read the other reviews more closely.

That being said, I can't believe how easy this job turned out to be. After following the instructions which entailed washing the window, then wetting it down with water with just a drop of liquid soap, the film sprang onto the window with little effort, and bubbles were a breeze to smooth out with a credit card.

It was still expensive, but looks good, and the ease of installation was worth half the price.

I thought this window film would be enough to make the window in my shower at my apartment, which is frosted, less see-through, but it didn't do anything. Very disappointed in this film. It's only function might be to dress up a window...it doesn't have any real function other than that.

For a client of mine I needed to purchase some window film for 3 windows and a door. I didn't have any experience with any of these manufactures so the question was where to start. I read the reviews here and decided to take my chance with a company called "Artscape" and purchased two rolls 24x36 and chose the rice paper look. I thought the price for the quantity was a bit high but with free shipping I went ahead and ordered. It arrived in less then a week and was happy to see that the second roll included a squeegee. Not having any experience installing window film before I expected the worst but found the whole experience wonderful and very easy to say the least! The quality and ease of use is exactly as the manufacture claims. The project was finished in no time and my client decided to have additional windows done so I went back to Amazon to make an additional purchase but this time made the mistake of choosing another manufacture called "Gila" because it was cheaper, for a larger quantity and also because I foolishly thought that all window was basically the same. Well let me tell you that was a big mistake!! The product arrived and it was a world apart from the "Artscape" product. The Gila is much thinner material, it has a adhesive material on the back (which tends to stick to itself if your not careful). It does not have the feel or look of the "Artscape" product. After about 30 minutes I just gave up and threw the product away and ordered a new supply of "Artscape" again. It arrived in a few days and worked perfectly as in the first installation. I couldn't be happier and highly recommended this manufacture for your window tinting jobs. Just a note: The second shipment did not include the squeegee as in the first shipment so if you order this product make sure Amazon ships the squeegee with it and if not have one handy. Its a must to do the job correctly!!!

This product is great for a second story bathroom window. It allows enough light through while obscuring the view from the outside to offer ample privacy. After reading many of the reviews prior to this purchase, it is true that this product may not offer enough privacy for use in ground level bathrooms. The installation was fairly easy, even mistakes are made. This product is very forgiving for beginners, and can be reapplied multiple times. The film is thicker than typical contact paper, and will not expand much or at all when applied.

This window film is easy to work with and does what it is supposed to: lets in light but gives one privacy. I would buy more of it but it is too darned expensive.

This is a great product and was very easy to install! I wanted a little privacy on my frontdoor window without sacrificing light. Looks great and expensive without the cost!!! Highly recommended!!!

I was a little skeptical of putting this on my window based on some of the reviews. However, I found it so easy to apply and it has held up beautifully. No bubbles. Let's nice amount of light through, but others cannot see in.
