I need a glare control film for the top window of a greenhouse window. The film will be installed upside down. Will this film stay up?

I have used this on both the underside of skylights and the outside. The corners start to peel back after a year or so on both the inside and outside applications. Nail polish works.

I have not tried the film in this configuration, so honestly don't know, but there are adhesives that work with film and are transparent

they really don't hold well, even on regular windows, some fell off in a few days.

Maybe initially. But it will peel and fall off over time. Maybe within a week or so.

I am not sure if it would stay upside down. The instructions indicate that, if it starts to peel at the edges, you can use clear nail polish to adhere it to the window.

Yes. We have a plant in the hallway were have a window with this film and it's doing great, although it's not a plant that requires full sun exposure.

You may want to check out the transparent film sheets that stick to your window. They come in all different patterns and I had one up for 12 years before it fell off. People cannot see through them and they have some pretty patterns. Not sure exactly what they are called, but that should work.

The clear film UV protection I bought must be applied inside as it wouldn't adhere in weather over time. ( As to the first question, to be honest I haven't been able to find anyone to install it yet--- we have a three story high indoor skylight and I'm still hoping the film will do the job to keep art from fading. )

It's meant to reduce glare so it helps a bit. I haven't used it outside or in extreme or harsh sunlight so I can't really say but near a window it seems to work fine.you should also be able to contact the seller if you have any more questions they may be able to help you further.

I have only used this window film on an interior window I do not really know how it would do on an exterior window. It might do okay but I would see the manufacturers recommendations for use and decide from there. Good luck with whatever you decide wish I could be of more help, but I don't want to tell you to for sure get it when I have no experience or reference for it for exterior use.

I think it would peel off. Actually I used mi no to cover shutter louvers and it wouldn't stay. I believe the film is best suited for metallic surfaces.

I cannot answer as to how long it will last as I've only had mine up a few months. I can say that before I had our greenhouse anchored a very strong wind came through and blew the structure over - completely upside-down. There were no tears or rips in the plastic when we righted it.

Yes. That is what I have. I had more than a little trouble getting the screen to be lint free before installing .... and the air bubbles drove me crazy. After only a few hours I yanked it off and chalked it up to experience. I should have gotten the anti-glare screen in the first place.

I would expect that you would notice a reduction in glare, if you tune the orientation of the filter sheet. Be aware that there is an overall reduction of light through the sheet, even when it is not affecting the glare.

Yes, it will give a glare. However, the farther from the glass, the less pronounced it will be.

Thanks for the great question! Yes, the one-way mirror film will stick on plexiglass, but I can't vouch for other non-glass surfaces.

I found this information from Gila's web site: Apply the Glare Control films to the INSIDE of single-pane windows, and to the OUTSIDE of dual-pane windows.

If you install it properly and don't rush through it will. Make sure you don't clean the area with windex prior to applying this film or it will counteract and fall off and not stick. Then you want to use the application kit spray (can be ordered on amazon).. then you just spray that up in the window and take a squeegee with the film and apply. I found out since I have 2 skylights I rushed the second one and it fell down but the first window stayed up perfectly. Just don't rush the job and use the application kit bottle. However, my skylights are leaking so now I'm getting them removed from my roof. I've HAD it with skylights. If you install it properly and don't rush through it will.

i did not have artscape, but if it is like the regular energy glare you will need to clean the window and make a squeeze bottle with a little soap and water. Spray both sides of the film and have a squeegie to help apply the film.

Dear Amazon User, I installed clear, colorless UV blocking film from Gila on the bottom row of my french window (with 4 rows) because the light only came through the bottom row due to the overheng of my roofline. I found that I cannot see any difference in the coated windows versus the uncoated. It is quite undetectable. Ken in So Cal.

Jon - Yes, all of our materials (other than rear projection film) block essentially all light from passing through. This material will work great for going over a window. Thanks!
