It is not a good idea.

Our commercial window tinting and residential films are made for architectural glazing, but any film changes how a pane absorbs heat, so the glass type matters. Thermal stress breakage is uncommon and is usually a question of matching the film to the glazing, its size, orientation and any shading. That is why the existing glass should be identified before a film is chosen.
