    This was so hard to install that it didn’t turn out and I had to take it off leaving behind two French door windows full of residue. How can I efficiently remove the glue?

    Answer This Question

    Hello Emily, I am sorry to hear about your experience with Gila Window Films. To remove the adhesive we recommend ventilating the space and spraying the adhesive with ammonia or an ammonia based degreaser. I recommend putting down a towel or something to prevent liquid from resting on the floor and spraying the adhesive with a good amount of solution. The most important part is that the solution be given time to be absorbed by the adhesive. Once this happens it is much easier to remove using a window scrapper or a large razor blade scrapper. Please be careful if you use a razor blade to remove the adhesive. If you run into any problems during the removal process please reach out to gila@eastman.com

      Can I apply this to an outside window

      Answer This Question

      Hello Noreen, Yes this film is adhesive backed so it can be installed outside but will not last nearly as long as if it were to be installed inside your home. This film is safe to install on dual pane or single pane glass.

        Answer This Question

        Hello Trak, We recommend installing the film in a comfortable temperature. Installing below 40 degrees can cause issues with the curing of the adhesive and installing above 80 degrees is not recommended. Installing film on a hot day is ok if the glass has been in the shade for some time. On a hot day in direct sunlight the glass surface can be much hotter so this is what you want to avoid.

          Answer This Question

          Hello Mario, This film does not peel off as it has an adhesive backing on the film. We do sell a 3'x6.5' PVC film which works as a static cling type product without adhesives.

            Hi Suse, as long as the surface is made of flat glass it will adhere to the surface. This product has an adhesive backing.

              Can his be applied to exterior plexiglass?
              ByOct 11, 2025
              1 Answer | 
              Answer This Question

              Hi Nana, we do not recommend our products for plexiglass. The reason being is that the plexiglass can warp and shift which can cause the adhesives to fail and unmount. Although our films will stick to plexiglass for a short period of time we do not cover this application under our limited warranty.

                This stuff is a nightmare
                This stuff is a nightmare. The adhesive offers no forgiveness. This film IS NOT repositionable. It leaves behind a massive mess of glue if you take it off. I folowed the instructions for my first garage door window and ended up with a complete mess. I tried the next window with the backing on and it didn't stick on the edges. Two windows kinda have the film on with backing, one window was a disaster without the backing and one window the film curled up and fell off. I've installed these films before and it went much better. I wish I would have read the reviews on this product so I could have avoided a few hours of frustration by not buying this product. I wish 0 stars was an option because, that's what it deserves, zero stars.

                  Easy application
                  Applied to my deck window, very easy install and came out perfect . You just need to use soapy water and a squeegee . With those tools it's very forgiving

                    Flip a coin
                    If you're lucky, it works and looks nice, but it's much harder than their cling film tint products. Solo is easy for small windows and nearly impossible for larger ones. Doesn't look great up close due to install failures but otherwise looks good from afar. Unlike the tint this isn't repairable. Took a few attempts and scrapped film to get the process down. The large windows are very difficult. You need to flood the window with soap every time and some dust will get stuck which needs a redo. Once you think you're done and it looks nice you'll wake up the next day to what feels like a 50/50 chance to see bubbles that weren't there before and are impossible to remove due to the adhesive. The corners never look good and I've accepted that.

                      NOT a recommend in the least.
                      Less than Zero stars if I was able. Nearly impossible to get the backing apart from the film, It sticks to itself, is NOT reposition-able, and the adhesive it leaves behind requires industrial chemicals to remove. Very nearly destroyed a brand new $8000 window and took HOURS of cleaning and chemical treatment to remove it all. Absolutely STAY AWAY from this product.

                        Terrible instillation. Terrible removal.
                        Bought this last weekend and put it up two days ago. The instillation was a nightmare and impossible for one person. It stuck to itself and dented so much that it no longer stuck to the window and left multiple bubbles I couldn’t get it. Took it off two days later because I hated it and the “easy removal with no residue” is completely false. My window is now covered with residue after only being on for two days!

                          More overpriced cheap crap
                          Absolute garbage. Installation is overly challenging for one person and offers nothing I couldn’t get from something else that is far easier to install. Incredible waste of money.

                            Absolutely do not buy
                            I did not purchase the application kit so it's possible that would alleviate these issues. But I'd used other films and founds them very easy so thought it would be fine. This is not easy. It took forever to peel off and left such an intense residue - I've used multiple rounds of goo gone and scraping, and when the goo gone/window adhesive I've scraped off has fallen onto the wall below, it has been so mushy and adhesive I've had to wash it off with a scrub brush, damaging the paint and still not completely removing the residue. Pictures don't show it well but I have to upload them in order to leave a review.

                              I’m sure it works great but if everyone or everything in your house has hair, the hair will find its way onto the sheet while you try to apply it. And good luck not denting the sheet while trying to cut it. Absolute garbage
