Reflective privacy films for windows are very popular due to their efficiency and ease of installation, as well as a very long lifespan and easy maintenance.
The desired effect
Many people want to make their windows non-transparent from the outside and transparent from the inside. Reflective films provide great privacy effects for windows. Make the windows of your house opaque for neighbors and passers-by.
These films can be installed on any window. Perfect privacy mirror effect on one side of the window and transparency on the other side of the window for your comfort! BUT please...
Take the intensity and the direction of light into account!
Does it sound complicated? Everything is easy! Imagine that a reflective film is installed on the window in order to ensure privacy and to protect from prying eyes.
During the day. When it is lighter outside than inside the room, the window looks like a mirror from the outside and is transparent from the inside.
In the evening or at night. When it is dark outside and the light is turned on in the room, the effect changes its direction. The window is transparent from the outside and looks like a mirror from the inside!
Unfortunately, these films provide privacy only during daytime and only in the direction of a greater light. What are the solutions?
- Use curtains or blinds in the evening.
- There should always be more light outside. Consider installing outdoor lighting above the windows. In addition, the room should be darker than the outside in the evening. It is necessary to adjust the illumination from both sides of the windows.
These films have the same effect as other reflective films and mirror window films with similar properties do.
If you use the darkest film
If you use the darkest window film (for example, 5 % or even 4 %), almost nothing will be seen when you look outside in the daytime. What is more, nothing will be seen when you look from the street in the evening and at night.
