The Ultimate Guide to One-Way Window Film

Introduction

How can you add privacy into your windows with a one-way privacy window film? You’ll find out how it works, how we install it and all the questions that are most commonly asked. One-way privacy window film can also be known as two-way mirror film or daylight privacy film.

If you are looking for night-time privacy, you’ll need a highly reflective one-way privacy window film.

One-way privacy window film is a thin poly material that incorporates many layers to control different properties of the film, such as UV light, glare and privacy while enhancing privacy. It also makes your windows more energy efficient by reflecting the suns rays. It also helps with glare on your TV and other screens.

For many homes, this answer is simple, get some solar-powered exterior lights that point directly at your windows. As long as it is lighter on the outside, you will have privacy.
