If you have double-paned windows, do you apply to the inside or outside?

I am no expert on this, but I believe you would apply the film to the inside part of the windows. I know that's were mine went. I have heard of people installing the film on the outside, but it would seem to have a shorter life time due to the elements. Craig

We have double paned windows and we don't hear anything. I think the wood may act as an insulator. Seeing the birds nesting from your bedroom window is the best!

In my opinion I think it can use on the outside of the window as well. However, it will have a higher chance of debtis scraping off tge paint and/or easier to collect dust due to new semi rough surface after paint is applied. If you are trying to apply this on 2nd story or higher ground it may have less chance if debris hitting the window.

I have a large SUV so I needed 2 on the same window to provide full coverage. I'd say double up if your windows are not tinted at all, but if they offer a little protection, then go with one layer.

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!

No - pretty sure the directions specifically state not to. Designed for single or double paned windows. Long list of types of glass not to use it on was included. As a side note - it seems to heat the surface of the window some - so I would worry about it propagating cracks or chips as well.

I used this for 2 bathroom windows. I would suggest buying 2 if you have the 2 doors to do. Better to have more. Plus you may have to do more then one coat depending on your preference of privacy.

There is a flange around the grid, which slides under the frame that hold the glass. If you want both inter. and ext., you need to order double the amount, otherwise, exterior should be used.

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

Yes, that's how I use these. a large window with 2 sides open from side-to-side. I placed these screens in front of the existing screens. this is to avoid my cat from ruining the existing screens. the width fit my particular window and I opened up the screen as far as it goes. I then taped a small piece of cardboard into the section where both pieces meet. It stays in place, has not fallen down. it's in the outside channel, so I can still open and close the window, if needed. Another brand, more expensive, comes with white instead of wood trim. i intend on painting the wood on mine, so it blends in with my window that faces the front street.

i covered my picture window with two sheets of plastic. measure the coverage you need and then look at the coverage on the box. i ran the plastic from the top to the bottom, that's why i needed 2 sheets of plastic

Yes. I first purchased it to use on exterior windows and have since found uses for it inside as well.

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)

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 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. Screw an "L" bracket to each of the two window panes to hold them in position

Depends......the entire unit is made of a heavy material that make it impossible to see in or out......however the front and side windows have flaps that can be folded down to let fresh air in......which can be seen through from inside to outside.....and if opened at night.....can be seen through from the outside into the RVI love mine
