Can it be used on the inside of double paned windows?

The question is not 'could' it be used, but 'should' it be used, on the inside of double paned windows. All I have read from the makers of them is NO.

You really do not want to break the seal on double-paned windows, especially if you have a better modern window unit. The reason is that they create a partial vacuum during manufacture to increase its insulation value, and they also make sure that what gas remains within the assembly is dehumidified. That's why on undisturbed double-pane windows you never see condensation between the panes, but if they have had the seal broken, a pane replaced due to breakage, etc. you will see condensation between the panes.

I have had not problems using the product in my bathroom. My door to the bathroom has 10 windows and I applied the product to the inside of the door. My guess is you will be fine using it.

I imagine you could do either, I found worked better on the inside of the window

Yes but their is signal loss through the class mounting. The least amount of loss is through single pane un-tinted glass. The loss increases with tinted or UV blocking glass. It will not work on double pane glass

I would not recommend it because the surface area that contacts the window is not large and would put a strain on the glass.

I found this information from Gila's web site: Apply the Glare Control films to the INSIDE of single-pane windows, and to the OUTSIDE of dual-pane windows.

Probably not. I actually put the film on my storm windows so I can see the depth of the windows. You might want to place the film under those white inserts? The pretty side is only really visible from inside.

I find it can be used for windows inside and out. Paper towel should work fine.

You always apply to the inside but I would not recommend gila if you had to ask that. It is a very thin tint material.

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.

If the windows are glass. I used on both the inside and outside of my windows. I would think you could use paper towels. I mixed in a bucket and put in on with the scrubber/sponge side of a squeegee. Hope this helps.

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

I believe it says to do it on the inside. I'm sure you could do it on the outside, but when I used it, I used the seal on the inside. It does work as advertised. I will say, I had to work a bit to get it off in the spring though. I think this year I am going to use this but I'm still going to use the plastic on the windows. I still felt the coldness, but it's probably because the windows in my apartment are just really old.

Yes, and it works on triple panes also. I have several large windows (7x9 FT) and many large sliding doors. Small windows (2x3 FT) I do by hand.

It works on the inside of the window. I have sliding windows and it works great. I don't know about your double hung windows.

If you are applying it to the inside surface which is not etched, I don't see why you couldn't use it. But on an etched surface,it will not stay as well, and you will see where it doesn't lie close to the glass.
