Perfect!
I bought this film to cover the first floor windows of my mother's assisted living apartment that looked out onto a parking lot. She did not want to be on display while in her home.
I spent an entire evening researching different types/prices of window film. I needed opaque that also did not look bad from the outside looking in, since the facility was really unsure they would even let me hang it.
Unlike some of them that require soapy water to apply, this is just like contact paper - a peel-able backing that has a grid on it for easy cutting. Easily repositionable. Good width that makes it easy to handle, and the price was excellent. It's tacky enough that it really sticks to the window, but pulls up and reapplies multiple times without losing its stickiness - and absolutely NO residue.
This still lets lots of light through the window, but you can't see any of the parking lot from the inside, and nothing of the apartment from the outside (even at night). It looks a little like pebbled shower glass, and with the blinds over it it just looks a little sparkly.
Mom is so happy - and several of the other ladies there have asked me to install it on THEIR windows! A great, inexpensive alternative to heavy drapes or keeping the blinds closed all the time.
