How temporary is this product? I want to use it on huge bedroom windows, but be able to remove it when the temp is mild.

It is self contained, it needs to have some sort of tape to stick it to your window. Pulling the tape of the insulation will rip it, but just pull the tape off your wall or window and you can re-use it. My thoughts

We use it in our motorhome to block more sunlight in the morning. We put these up using little velcro tabs and remove the shades when we pack up or if we just want the windows open for a breeze.

We used the tape recommended and it went up very easily. I'm sure it would be just as easy to remove it. We are extremely happy with the product. It really keeps the heat out here in Phoenix, Arizona.

It is as temporary as you want it. There is no adhesive backing or anything like that. If you just cut it to fit, it will stay in place, even under overhangs. This stuff is great and I couldn't be happier with it.

This product should work fine for that purpose. Ease of seasonal removal will depend upon the type of adhesive / 2-sided tape you chose for your temporary isntallation.

It will be as temporary as whatever you use to affix it to the window is. There is no adhesive on this product. This is like the stuff used to make sun visors for car windshields. Think bubble wrap with silver covering. It is very sturdy and you should be able to reuse it many times.

I am thinking you need to scrape it off the glass with a razor. Then soak and wash the window with an ammonia based liquid.Good Luck. It should all come off. You should wear a mask while scraping and vacuuming up the paint off the window.

I used it in the winter on the plastic window of a convertible, but inside an unheated garage. I'm sure the temperature was not above 60. It worked great. Hope that helps.

As far as I know as long as you wipe the surface down with alcohol (where you will be placing the double sided tape) allowing it to dry I don't think the temperature will affect installation - the tape adheres well to any surface I have tried so far. The plastic is used to cover the interior side of windows; not outside of the window. I have also discovered it is best to place clear packing tape across the bottom part of plastic - on the underside of window sill - BEFORE shrinking with blow dryer. It helps to prevent plastic from pulling upward and eventually making it's way off window.

I've just talked to my neighbor, they did their windows after they saw mine. They made the mistake of putting up the portion that is meant to be discarded. Be sure to read instruction carefully. I think that is why people have failure to cling to windows.

My experience was indoor use. I used it to cover some gaps around an older window frame.This product appears to be nothing more than clear packing tap. I applied it in the fall and when I removed it in the spring, it took off most of the paint around the window frame. Not what I thought was going to happen.

Hi, it's very easy to remove. I recommend this product the heat in my room got so much better.

It would partially depend on the circumstances of your window usage. If you're looking for drapes, maybe not so much. If you are looking for blacking out a room, heck yeah. Clean the windows first so it would stick well and be prepared to replace it should curling at the corners begin after some time. Also consider if you ever wanted to remove it. Heat from the sun hitting the sticky side may make clean-up PAINFUL if you are only wanting semi-permanent or temporary use. Oh! And fingerprints can make it not stick as well. Just a warning. It will stick but those would be the places that would wear off first and start bubbling or curling.

Well I can imagine this could damage the seal to the window if left in place 24/7. You basically have to ram those lower two "sticks" (for lack of better terminology to call them) into the lower portion of your window - between the window and that little flexible piece that rests against the window. So it does push that back a little. And then there is that top part. When you roll the window all the way up, obviously that is going to make an impression in the seal. My advise would be to only have it "installed" if you are actively using it. When it is not needed, just take it out so the impressions in the seals don't become permanantly warped or damaged.

Absolutely this can be removed and reapplied. You'll need to clean the window really well - and press it on. I put it on and took it off once and it's fine. Hope this helps. Good luck.

You paint this on first as a base coat and then do chalkboard paint over it. Just expect to have all your windows open after you paint. It's really noxious.

I agree about using double-sided tape ... think long term ... when you want to remove again, you can scrape it off again to reuse ... be sure to use WD-40 too for removal. I think your Super glue will be more difficult to remove when the time comes to remove the residue for an unscratched window.

I moved mine to another room. The velcro removed some finish on first window, but I used it again in second room! So far so good.

Not at all in my experience, but I'd expect to at least use some Windex after you remove it. You're likely to smudge the windows pretty badly putting it on or taking it off.

I just forcefully peel it off starting from the top corner, my thin windows didn't get damaged when I did that... I no longer use this as it has failed to give back any power after being a week in the sun..

If I'm thinking correctly of what your windows are...I think you would have to take it down each time you open them. But, it has velcro and is very easy to take down and put back. I got an extra strip of velcro and use it in a Different spot when i need to. (Before I just buy another one)

I haven't tried it to be honest. It says on the back of the package "when using this product in cold weather, it may be necessary to soften it by holding over a warm air vent until it becomes pliable." I wasn't happy with how it worked in the summer when it was hot because it was constantly falling off so I bought something else instead. I bought the BRICA Stretch-to-Fit Window Shade and I love it.
