I added the film that helps keep the heat from the sun out of my house to the windows on the southern side of my house.

I put the film on the interior side of the double hung windows. It does work really well. It was easy to install - but as noted - it can be difficult to get it to be perfect. Especially if you don't have a helper to help with the installation.

I have window treatments - curtains or blinds that hide my crappy job of getting the film on the windows. I even patched together pieces of the film on one window - but I'm the only one who knows it looks bad. The curtains or blinds hide the seams and bubbles and crinkles.

With the film I can leave my sheer curtains on year round or leave the blinds open most days during the summer without adding more heat to my house.

If you need your window to look flawless - I believe there are professionals who will install the film for you. Or maybe you and another person or two can work together to better get the film installed with fewer flaws.

I did mine by myself. And I'm pretty sure I could do a better dramatically better job if I had a "helper" - an extra set of hands.

Be aware of privacy issues... at night, with a light on inside, you will no longer be able to see out the window (it's reflective) - but anyone outside will be able to see in. I can watch my neighbors across the alley - when they are in their kitchen and I can see into their upstairs bedroom (well the ceiling fan and door frame - and their little kids when they use their bed as a trampoline ) They have tinted windows and no window treatments - I'm guessing because they do not realize it's easy to see into their home at night.

Best Window Film for Your Home

Window film is a micro-thin layer of polyester or vinyl film. It is applied directly to the glass in your home. Adding window film is easy enough for any motivated do-it-yourselfer. However, deciding on the best window film will depend on what you want the film to do.
