It is not a good idea. Automotive films are specified for vehicle glazing, while residential products are made for architectural glass and for the way houses are glazed, including insulated units. Using the wrong product can create heat build-up in the glass. Choose a film intended for residential use, and have the existing glazing identified first.

Glass and film need to be matched. Different glazing types absorb and hold heat differently, so the film specified for a window matters as much as the shade. This is why a dealer will ask what the glass is, how old it is and which way it faces before recommending anything.
