This window film is quite easy to install and looks great.Learn from me, if you've never used these window films before, and don't make the following amateur mistakes:1. There is a smooth side and a rougher side. The rougher side is what faces out, the smooth side goes against the window. I know, seems quite obvious when I write about it here, but for some reason my brain didn't want to do the logical thing and kept wondering, "Huh, why won't it stick to the window better?" Because it's the wrong side, silly!2. The smooth side has a film that has to be removed so it's that much more clingy and sticky. Once again, quite obvious now, but I was thick when first approaching this window project.3. Measure, measure, measure. I approximated and figured the width of this particular one would work but it was actually too narrow. I ended up using one of those window films that's grey on the inside and reflective on the facing out side. The reflective film blocks the sun a bit better for my purposes (a tree had to be cut down outside this particular window and too much sun blasts that side of my house now and I live the desert.) BUT, I still used this stained glass film on top of the other one and so I get the stained glass effect AND significant sun block.4. This panel doesn't come with tools. Some of the manufacturers of these window films do provide cheap basics. Just make sure you set yourself up with a squeegee, a spray bottle of soapy water, and a box cutter. Scissors and tape measure if you're going to cut before you install.5. This is only one panel. For some reason I thought it was two, but it's only one. Still a good price for what you get quality-wise.Overall, this is a pretty product and unless you're inspecting it up close, it looks like stained glass and the quality is great. Highly recommended.
