Answer 2

Go to www.gilafims.com and read there.  I have installed on several house windows and very happy with results.  The biggest thing is getting the windows clean beforehand and keeping them clean during the installation.  Lots of fluid sprayed front and back of the film.  Do it on a cool window. Window cannot have any cracks or signs of stress like a shot from a BB or it will crack worse with heat.  Some films can come off easier than others.

I put window tint on mine and it looks nice :-)
