I put this stuff on the windows of our bay window and it was remarkable the difference. I think it said not to use it on windows that have double panes though. Apparently it builds up too much heat between the two panes of glass. It was easy to apply and was still in good condition when we put in replacement windows. Those are double paned so can't put the tint on them.
