Can this be applied to rounded or arched windows?
423058
Yes but it is a little harder to apply on rounded corners. The film can be moved around while installing as you will use water solution or water mixed with baby shampoo.

Theoretically, yes. Practically, it can be done but places a premium upon your preparation, patience, technique, and the cleanness and sharpness of your cutting blade. When you are applying the film it is wet and slippery, and trimming even a straight edge is a challenge. When being trimmed, the thin film has a tendency to get caught on the blade, bunch-up, and pulled off alignment, resulting in creases, a jagged edge and uneven line, or a tear - a situation that would be greatly exacerbated when trimming curved edges. Have a clean cloth available to wipe residue from your blade before each trim stroke. Theoretically, yes.

Yes, our new house has what I would call an "eyebrow" window that is 82" wide, 8" tall on opposing ends, and 16" tall in the center. A very strange shape to describe, but it looks nice over the 3-window installation below it.I had my dad help me and we were able to hold it up when we were both on ladders and put it in place. We cut it rectangle first, then after it was up, took scissors to it and trimmed it to fit a little better. Then at the end, used the installation cutter to trim to a perfect it.

Sure it will just be a little more painstaking. This install was actually really easy on my windows but I do recommend a helper if you have one.Lorena

Never done it but I don't see why not, obviously the cut in would be a little tricky. Remember that if you make a mistake on the edge that a small scrap piece can be applied the next day and it's likely noone will ever know except you. I had 2 such places on my first window and the patch is virtually invisible

Yes you can use it on the windows but it tears easily and being white and transparent it may not be as effective as a bamboo or shogi shade over the window.

Yes u can however there is going to be a good chance the window will be smeared up the same way your screen it.

No, and it should NOT be used on windows at all as the product is alkaline and can etch windows. Use it for all your other surfaces instead.

no. this is not appropriate for such a large surface area. think of it as a way to accent smaller areas...

I really don't know for sure, but I do not see why you can't. I used it on the windows near my art work so that the sun shining thru would not fade the paintings. I don't see any reason that you cannot put it directly on the glass that covers the photos or art. The only thing that I can think of is the clarity, typically you want the glass over the photos to be super clear, this is a film and you may get a slight reduction in the clarity. It would be better to put the film on the windows that allow the sun to shine in. Hope this helps.

I suppose you could technically apply it to the outside, but it would not last nearly as long, because of the exposure to weather. I have been installing this type of film for over 30 years, and I have never seen anyone install it on the outside of the window.

I would think it would be fine on Plexiglass. Check the manufacturer'so web site to be sure. But I don't think it would be good on the outside of the window, because it uses water to adhere to the glass. I would be concerned that rainwater would cause it to peel off if it were applied outside. Why not apply it from the inside? I think you will still get a nice effect.

If the glass surface is flat. I attempted to apply to sunglasses with a slight curve and they did not stick

This does not have an adhesive side for directly applying to windows - the most common method is to stretch it over some sort of frame and mount the whole assembly.Thanks!

I used mine for corners but I do not see based on mine why they could not be used where a straight one was needed.

there is a wider flat piece that you could use on windows...it works nicely.

I,ve never head of it used on exterior sides of windows but maybe Lexen.LLC could answer your question.That is where I ordered from.

I bought this specifically for my car/truck windows. Yes it works great with contoured surfaces.

No, I used it outside on vinyl windows to match doors in Greenhouse. It is a combo of paint and primer. Great stuff!

I cut it for those very kind of windows and they work very well. I did put a dab of a waterproof glue stick in each corner, but I don't know if that made any difference. Staying up and works well.

It needs to go on the outside. However, note that these did not work for cardinals attacking my windows. It made no difference.
