Is this easy to cut and trim into desired window shapes? I am trying to cover triangle windows.

Yes it is. It was also easy to peel and reposition so I got it exactly where i wanted it. Love it!

It's pretty easy. It does curl pretty badly so I would either have someone help you hold it down or use a couple heavy objects so you can get a straight cut. It does have a grid printed on the back for easy measurement.

Julia, yes it is. I used it to cover up the top part of a front door that has various shapes. Triangles, ovals etc. Very easy to cut.I didn't have scissors handy and I used a knife easy.

I would make a paper template to trace onto the film backing. Just put the piece of paper in the window and trace the outline and cut it put to trace on the film. It is easy to adjust by removing and resticking once you have your shape cut and are trying to place.

Yes. Just use a ruler for straight line cut and you can cut any shape even a design if you are creative.

In my opinion, this item is not meant to be trimmed. If you tried to trim the edges you may be able to get away with it, even though I would not recommend this. The material is pretty ridged, but flexible enough to snap into the window frame. There is really not much room for trimming, as they fit exactly into the window frames on the Clopay garage door.

Yes, I had mine done in less than 5". Instruction are basically the same for either type of sliding window. UPDATED 5/11/2015: This will work in a casement/crank-style window with a little ingenuity, please see my review on how others have fixed this problem.

3 feet by 6.5 feet, this product cuts easily with regular everyday scissors. I found it easiest to cut slightly larger than the window and trim after applying. I used their instillation kit, which I found at Menards (amazon also has it) it's around $8. I think you could use a razor blade to trim it if you don't want to spend the money. It comes with a solution to apply and a smoothing tool in addition to the cutter. I think at the least you would need the solution to install this product.

I do not think it would be very easy to cut down. Not sure what the fabric is it is well constructed. You might be able to cut down if you were really, really crafty but I would not try.

Yes, very easy, a light weight pair of scissors works, no need of any heavy duty cutter.

Not really the ideal unit for those style of window. You'd most likey have to use a bit of wood and SECURE it above to fill in the space above the window. You also have to consider the width of the window. What I have done with most of my widow units is, to cut a peice of thick treated ply board and fill the entire window frame with it. Unfortunately you lose a window and gain an AC unit. We have jalousy (sp?) Window's, and they too aren't ideal for window units.

I *thought* I'd be able to do this....but the pattern does not match up along the edges....it would have to be trimmed to get the pattern matched....which means I now can't use it for my front window because while there's enough film to cover it, there is not enough to trim it to match the pattern across.... :(

I've been able to shrink the window down by grabbing the lower right corner but there is a limit to how small you can make it. On my computer I can shrink it to about 20% of the total screen area.

I cut it for those very kind of windows and they work very well. I did put a dab of a waterproof glue stick in each corner, but I don't know if that made any difference. Staying up and works well.

Yes, it's easy to cut any of the shapes. Save the extra, too. I make them last as long as I can.

I used the trim piece called Sandstone window trim in the Buff color. There is also another trim for inside corners and outside corners that you can use. If go to their website you can see what your options are

Well this is our third one & if you are real careful it is easy to cut with a very sharp cutter. But I would make a template of the window first then lay it on the graphic & cut just wear the windows meet. You then will cut any extra off after you have it on the window. It is really beautiful! But we can't put ours on until late Spring when the weather warms up. Good Luck

It's very easy to trim, it is about as thick as the one side of plastic that covers small electronic packages. Very easy to work with. I ended up being able to use this on two different vents since I didn't need the full length. Since they are covered by furniture and don't show, I was able to use the one that had the raw edge ( the left over piece ) on another vent. I have had them now for quite a while and they really do work great.

You can cut it, but the problem with that it becomes a bit too small to cover the window. I used it to cover my rear window in a Toyota Rav4 and it covered well but there were still areas that were uncovered that the sun came through. Just a suggestion, go to an automotive store that has tints for windows, it's just as easy to get them on, they come in a variety of shades and you get a better fit. Good luck.

It's very easy... I did it myself. Have an good x-acto knife, water and something you can smooth it with. (A hard squeegee or even an old credit card.) it's easy to use and this pattern is so easy to match.
