Blocking an unattractive view with window film

Submitted by Cheryl Bower on April 17, 2009 – 10:45 AMNo Comment

I love this solution!! We live on a busy street and didn’t want the view of cars and pedestrians nor did we want to feel like fish in a fish bowl when the drapes were open. This window is also huge at 12 feet across and drapes faded quickly due to southern exposure.

Problem solved with the installation of a window film. It is available in a few patterns including our first choice of a rice paper type of pattern. This product is great!! It lets in lots of light while providing privacy. It also allows the window to be unobstructed with curtains and curtain rods making the room seem more expansive.

In the evening there is a really cool kaleidoscope effect with the backdrop of car lights reflecting off the window, making the bamboo cast a moving shadow across the window.

This product is also quite reasonably priced & comparable to buying a nice set of drapes but without the maintenance!  Our installer, Steve Clark with Window Innovations was great and also able to accommodate our request of making a small cut out in the lower left portion of the window so that our kitties wouldn’t miss out on watching foot traffic and birds landing on our bamboo.

I’m happy to provide a referral if needed!
