Nice man! So I can you what I've been wondering about this static film: How long has yours been on? Any issues depending upon the temps with corners peeling?

it's been exactly one year now since I installed it. those are pictures taken today and so far with all the temp changes here in OH from cold winters and hot summers it's been holding up pretty good! what's great is these can be changed out easily with other designs if you ever get bored

I ended up removing it just like you would with car tint and I picked up the kits they sell at Home Depot. looks similar to the one you have. install was basically using a water and a squeegee. pretty easy to do.
Pretty much my exact setup. I did the huge, top window with this stuff. My door glass was already opaque so I was set with the doors. Kind of a PITA working on a ladder trying to get this stuff on perfectly, but overall not very difficult or time consuming.

We thought about doing the top window but it would than cover up the light chandelier. It looks nice at night when the light are on

Haha. We had the same problem and debate. We decided to err on the side of privacy.

Absolutely.

We had wood floors in our previous home as well. But this time 5in hand scraped and darker. We really like them! I've been in homes with tile in the kitchen. And Yue right, way too cold in the winter.
