The film looks just as pictured. For me, it is used on a window that does not have light coming through so the water effect of the film is a bit lost. On a window that has light coming through, this film would have so much more depth, sparkle and effect. I am looking for other places to use it because it is really nice and easy to put up. The backing has a grid for easy cutting and sizing!

The window in my laundry room is in the direct line of sight of my neighbor's office window. Putting the Velimax Rain Glass film on this window was a perfect solution - light comes in but images are blurred. And it looks good inside and out.

Did exactly what we needed it to do, just a huge pain getting all the bubbles out. Wish it came with a tool to help!

Used it in our RV for the shower doors, they were clear and hard water was spotting the doors, this helped the shower doors look and stay cleaner, Easy to install would definitely use again.

We have a sunroom with French doors, and we wanted something opaque to cover the windows instead of just sheer curtains. We have 2 panels about 21 x 62 and used the film on the side of the window facing the inside of the house. The installation instructions were not very good I didn't think.

Before ordering: Measure properly! I should have asked for help holding the tape measurer on the long window and was a few inches short and had to order a second roll (had to allow for a little extra on all sides) as I was trying to do both windows on one roll.

1. I bought a quart spray bottle and travel sized bottle of plain baby shampoo, already had a squeegee, single-edged razor, plastic putty knife and metal yard stick (to help with trimming)
2. Fill the bottle about 3/4 and add just a few drops of the shampoo. This will help the film adhere to the glass and allow you to reposition it if necessary.
3. Clean the window thoroughly. I used windex, wiped well with paper towels, then scraped the surface with a single edge razor to get off any stuck paint or dirt particles. Scrape to the edges so the plastic can cling all the way.
4. Then I sprayed on some of the soapy mixture and cleaned again to get the windex off (supposed to be bad for film) using a squeegee to clean it again. If it's not clean and scraped off, the plastic won't adhere to parts of the window.
5. Cut the film at least an inch bigger than the window measures. I did about 1.5-2". It's easy to cut because of the grid marks on the backing.
6. Because ours pieces were long, I needed my husband to hold the corner while I peeled away the backing. If you are using shorter panels, you may not need help with this part. There is a sticker that helps you separate the backing.
7. I layed towels on the floor and then laid the film down with back facing up (since it's textured, it's easy to distinguish) and squirt the film with the soapy water.
8. Then squirt the window liberally with the soapy water
9. Put the soapy film onto the window, texture side up of course, and make sure there is some of the plastic sticking out on each side - soapy water helps you reposition if necessary.
10. Have some hand towels ready and use the squeegee to start moving the water to the edges and allowing the film adhere to the window. Get it snug. Easier to get rid of the water than to pull off and add some because you didn't use enough
11. When you are ready to trim, it's easier if someone holds a metal ruler at the edge (you are supposed to allow 1/16" around for expansion/contraction) and use the single-edge razor to trim. The corners are the trickiest. You can use a credit card or plastic putty knife to work the corners and bubbles out.

It has been on several days and so far, so good! I found a few videos online of applying tinted film and thankfully, this is easier to apply than that since there is texture, but you might benefit from watching one.
