I want to cover the outside of a window in a location that is not exposed to elements--Will it stick if the mirrored surface is facing out? Thickness?

Hello, The adhesive is on the mirrored surface, so if the film is applied to the exterior of the window, the mirrored surface must be against the glass (and the black coating would be facing out)

I used it on an odd-shaped window and it worked pretty well. Don't expect it to do a perfect job in the corners.

I can't tell you for sure since it depends on whether you have a light-reducing coating on your windows... but... that being said... if you have a "normal, clear window" it should heat up about as well as it would if it was setting outside... another couple of things to consider are whether the window has any framing that might also reduce the amount of pure sunshine hitting it, or... if the window direction may limit the amount of time that it gets direct sun each day... my guess is... you're probably ok as long as you give it direct sun for several hours, without anything to shade it... Hope that helps!

I put mine on the inside, but it would probably stick just as well outside. Personally though, I am not sure how well it would hold up with weather elements.

I've done that with plexiglass and it's pretty close to a mirror reflection looking through the non-painted side.

I would not recommend this. The glass is not too thick. I put mine behind my existing window. The colors are really beautiful. I hope this helps you. Helga

It would partially depend on the circumstances of your window usage. If you're looking for drapes, maybe not so much. If you are looking for blacking out a room, heck yeah. Clean the windows first so it would stick well and be prepared to replace it should curling at the corners begin after some time. Also consider if you ever wanted to remove it. Heat from the sun hitting the sticky side may make clean-up PAINFUL if you are only wanting semi-permanent or temporary use. Oh! And fingerprints can make it not stick as well. Just a warning. It will stick but those would be the places that would wear off first and start bubbling or curling. It would partially depend on the circumstances of your window usage.

We use it to prevent the ultraviolet rays from harming our canvas artwork and this does the trick. The sunlight still shines through, but greatly muted. It is used for our above the door window so don't really have to face it directly. It functions as a privacy glass as well. Not sure if my answer helps you or not. Perry

Able to cover mirrors, a bit unusual for the intended purpose. Also any area behind the wallpaper that is empty of solid backing would be vulnerable to puncture or tearing

It could be mounted on the outside. I'm not positive if its water resistan but If it is I'm sure it will probably rust a little. I have little tit on my windows and mounted it inside and it's extremely bright even through the tint!

This film is applied on the interior side of the window. We do have an exterior version of reflective film: BDF EXS15 EXTERIOR Window Film Privacy and Sun Control Silver 15, Dark - 24in X 24ft

Yes, you must follow directions on which side of the film goes against the window and which faces out to reflect heat. I too had trouble with the film curling no matter what I did and ended up using tape around the edges and am unhappy with the way it looks although it does help reflect the heat.

I am using in door only, sorry I didn't tried it in out door and I have no idea about how to cover

We used it to cover our skylights. It isn't reflective but I guess you could make a shade out of it if you were an experienced seamstress or tailor. It would block bright light like one of those pull down shades you see at many restaurants.

I have some on my windows at home. You could try double sided tape but i don't think it'll look good. I would put it in a picture frame so it looks deliberate. Make sure it is tight so you get a better rainbow.

Yes, but you may need a strip of double face tape to secure it since the initial application wore off the sticky. Ideally the shade should be a tight fit to eliminate drafts. (In a basement window, I stapled the top of shade )

Thanks for the great question! Yes, the one-way mirror film will stick on plexiglass, but I can't vouch for other non-glass surfaces.
