The light will pass through, but you won't be able to see out because of the frosted effect.
I'm not sure, but it seems to hold up well in a window with steamy humidity inside and cold temperatures outside, so I'm guessing it'll be fine outside.
It's a clear window film. that is, there isn't a tinge of color - When used, it appears to be a pebbly-surfaced piece of obscure glass.
Because it's 17 years old, it has to be feet. I'm not even halfway through the roll, and I've used a lot more than 6 inches!

I like how it has a lot of light transmittance and self-adhesion. It's ideal for smoothing out LED flashlight and bike light beams and reducing tint shift by modding the glass cover lenses. I had a great privacy film on my bathroom window as well, but it wasn't nearly as much fun! 😛.
I recently purchased a home with a garage door with a panel of windows and a garage side door with a window that opens directly to the outside, and I was concerned about people peering in to see what I had, so I needed something to haze over the windows. Glass is used in six of the garage door windows, while plexiglas is used in two. This was a breeze to put together, though you'll probably have to fiddle with it a little at first. The curl is a pain to deal with, so I'd recommend flattening the pieces you want to put up first (I wasn't patient enough for that, so I just put them up as soon as I cut them to size). Peeling the paper backing off will make the film very static-prone. As a result, bear that in mind. br>br>This isn't a vinyl cling in the least. The sticky side has a good amount of stickiness to it. To avoid bubbles, align at the top only in the top two corners, press those, and then press all the way across with your fingers only. Go back and forth, an inch at a time, down using only your fingers. Any bubbles that appear during this process can be easily pressed and massaged away. br>br>I'm very pleased with the final product; it obscures almost everything and gives the impression of 'Mr. Magoo' vision wherever it's displayed. From the outside, all I could see was a hazy red blob that was my car through the window. If you don't cut exactly to size, you might end up with tiny slivers of exposed film between the film and the window edge that nosy people could see. I had this problem on my side door, and to fix it, I simply covered the sections with electrical tape. Overall, this is an outstanding product.
It is suggested that you use the "windex method. " We wanted to create privacy without blocking light in this basement window, which is next to our neighbor's front door. I left a small opening at the top so that I could see out if I needed to. I cut the excess from two sides of each window with a sharp blade and the windex method. My edging Corners aren't perfect, and the more you fiddle with them, the less they stick together. Overall, I like how things turned out and am hopeful that they will last.
For this purpose, the product performed admirably. The pattern lets plenty of light in while blurring what can be seen through the window and out. Things can be seen through it up close, giving the impression that the film isn't opaque enough. The view is acceptablely fuzzy upon application and with some distance. br>br>The application process is simple. I didn't use a "wet" method, instead smoothing it out with a plastic scraper as I went (the window panes weren't particularly large). br>br>I had two minor issues: I had to re-enter my password twice, and I had to re-enter my password twice. Pulling one piece up across the width of the film left "pull" lines. It was difficult to pull up in a single smooth motion because it stuck so well. After reapplying, the lines were barely visible. br>br>Another point that has been raised by other reviewers is - bubbles of varying sizes Only after it was applied did my bubbles appear. When I pressed it down, there didn't appear to be any, but after a while, a few small ones appeared. These are most visible at night, when the light shines through. br>br>The film hasn't curled or released at the edges or corners so far - Despite the fact that I was on top of the shower. br>br>The product performed admirably, was simple to apply, and met my requirements - It may, however, be best suited to small windows, where it can be easily handled and placed without requiring too much adjustment. However, I believe that using a wet application would resolve my problems.
I recently remodeled my bathroom and improved the privacy by using a DC Fix film in a different pattern (who puts a picture window right over the bathtub!). ) I was so happy with that product that I ordered this one to cover the windows in our living room so the dogs wouldn't bark when they looked out. br>I am extremely dissatisfied with this product because, unlike the other DC Fix film I purchased, it has a contact paper-like adhesive on the back, making it extremely difficult to apply. Bubbles are nearly impossible to avoid, and even if they are removed, the adhesive retains a ring. It appears to be a disaster, and my perfectionist self is furious.
I put this stuff to the test and discovered that it only reduces brightness by 4 percent. 25%. I was concerned about the amount of dimming it would cause, but it's insignificant. I hope this information is useful.
It was exactly what I needed, was simple to install, and worked flawlessly when I used the wet mount method. The material is thick and feels high-quality. Using a very small amount of soapy water, wet the surface. Using a razor, clean the surface and then squeegee it dry. Then re-spray the surface and let it sit for a while. Cut the film to a size that is slightly smaller than it should be. Spray the entire piece of film, including your fingers, with water. Maintain a moist environment by positioning the film and scraping it with a good plastic scraper (i. e. Blue Max) to get the liquid out of the way. Wait for it to dry completely. Simple, yet professional!.
I've used similar products in the past with no problems, but this brand is particularly difficult to work with. If you get a bubble, poke a small hole in it with a pin and then "push" the air out with a credit card. However, even after all the air has been removed, a white ring remains where the bubble was. I believe it has something to do with the adhesive, and this is a textured finish rather than a cloudy white/opaque film.
