ARTSCAPETexture Twelve Window Film, 36" x 72"

This film goes on easily and looks great when done. I installed on French doors by myself, but because of the size, another person would have been helpful. Cut the film slightly oversized and trim with a sharp razor once it's up. If you have to remove it, it will come off easily.

Installation was easy. After 5 years it's held up well with no signs of fading or any other types of wear. It is installed on a window that gets a lot of direct sunlight.

My husband and I live in an English basement condo unit. We have two bedroom windows above our bed. Our neighbors walk past this to get the parking pad in the back of the building and can easily look into our bedroom. I got this film hoping it would give us enough privacy from our neighbors while not blocking any light but it does not. It allows plenty of light which is great. But even though everything is blurred, you can still tell if someone is walking around or changing. It's probably not so bad during the day or when the brightness on both sides of the window (inside and outside) is about the same, but at night when we tested it out I could easily see my husband take his shirt off. If someone were to walk by at night and we had the light on and were doing...adult things, they could figure out what was going on. Again, it's all blurred, but for me, this is not enough privacy for a bedroom window. I think it'll be fine for our living room windows. Looking into getting a frosted glass film for the bedroom windows instead.As for the quality of the material, I think it's great. The window I applied it to was 24.5" wide and 34.5" tall and I installed it myself. The hardest part was trimming it after I applied it but that's because my box cutter blade has gotten dull. Make sure you have a sharp blade to trim the edges! If you don't have a squeegee just use a credit card. No need to buy an installation kit. I did not unroll the material and let it flatten ahead of time. I opened the box and then installed it right away. The backing paper is what keeps it curled, once you take it off the backing it hangs pretty flat.In conclusion, I recommend this item for its quality and ability to allow basically all light to come through. It does not provide absolute privacy so if that is your main concern, I'd go with something frosted or much more blurred.

I can not be certain for which texture film other reviews have been written. This review is for Texture 12; a sort of rippled/pebbled pattern. I very much like this window film. It provides excellent privacy, much more than I had expected. I have just finished installing it on my patio door. For looking in from the outside, it might as well be opaque. Excellent privacy and security while still allowing ample light inside. This is at mid-day, with all the lights on inside. I am eager to see how it will be looking in when it is dark outside. This is just for curiosity, as at night we draw the blinds. The one important caveat I have to add concerns installation. The instructions tell you to not let the paper backing get wet, but I do not think that they emphasize this enough nor do they inform you of the consequences. It was hot, and I perspired while I was trimming the door size film to fit. A few drops of perspiration fell from my brow and onto the backing paper. Wherever the backing got wet, it pretty much disintegrated and bonded to the window film. Seriously. It wasn't just a simply matter to remove it either. I was able to get most of it removed via judicious use of a non-stick safe dish scrubber. It took work. Seriously. This isn't just a matter of ease of removing a dry backing vs wet. Once the paper is moistened, the glossy surface that faces the film becomes glued to the film. Given that, I do wish that they had waterproofed the backing. So, just watch it if it is hot or you perspire easily. The little squeegee provided with the film was surprisingly effective. I did not need to use another, although I had others at hand. Post script: I purchased this in April 2014 for $29.99. I just now installed it in August 2014 because we had the patio doors replaced. I like it enough on the one door that I came back to by another, but the price is now $45.00 (a supposed savings of $4.98 off of the $49.98 list price). This is insane. No, I am not going to buy a second at 150% of what I bought the first just four months ago. I will let my 5 star review of the product I bought stand because I really do like this window film, but the lesser angels of my nature truly want me to change it to zero stars over this absurd pricing.

Have purchase two styles—very happy with purchase. With slow moving patience, measuring—works very well.To cut a piece of the film for my Milgard oval window I used aluminum foil, painters tape, the tool provided for scraping out air/water bubbles, a small blade/exacto knife and a spray bottle of water. Oh and I cleaned the window with water soap and rubbing alcohol then dried the window.I taped together two long pieces of foil with the painter’s/masking tape and brought it to the window. Secured the foil to the top and bottom of the glass where the trim meets the glass and proceeded to carefully and gently bend or mold or score the foil into where the trim meets the glass, making a cut-mark.I removed the foil from the window and used a pair of scissors to cut the foil along the score mark making an oval patternI taped the art scape to a flat work surface and then taped the pattern.I used a marker to trace the pattern, carful to stay outside of the cut line a bit so it would not show marks in the final oval piece.I cut the piece, peeled it, sprayed it with a fine mist 10 times, placed it on the window and carefully got out the bubbles.Where the film exceeded the edge of the window I carefully scored and trimmed it with the exacto knife.It took several times to get the bubbles out, but they do get out.
