I noticed that Artscape has a couple of commercials on YouTube.
One is for their decorative film and one is for their Energy Saving film:

Check out the new Vienna, it’s really cool! There are links above to Light Effects on “a certain company” and “a variety of retailers.”

Thanks for the question Steve. Typically, this type of film is applied to the interior window. So unless the trees actually break through the glass, the interior window film should stay in good shape in terms of any potential branch scraping. : )
In a perfect world, the film should last a long time. If you think about properly applied automotive window tint, it generally lasts many years in a pretty extreme environment (with cars being exposed to a lot of sun, cold and heat). With that said, if durability is THE consideration, then consider having your glass actually etched (done with stencils/etching cream or in some cases sand-blasting), or replace the window in question with glass manufactured frosted or etched. If you do any windows, let us know how it goes!

Any word on durability? we’ve got some film applied to two or three windows on the house and they are only 3 years old, but branches have scraped them and they aren’t looking great. It would be fun to replace with a pattern, but only if it is going to last.

All that the author wrote here is true, these films are very decorative and give a designer look and they are also very easy to install. Here's a frosted window film installation video
