The technology behind privacy films

One-way mirror privacy films have this name for a reason: the outer layer performs like a mirror from the outside, making it impossible to see through your windows. But at night privacy films lose their protective property and everything that is happening in your house can be seen from the street. So you might need to install curtains or shutters if this is an issue.  

There are privacy films with frosted or textured surfaces out there on the market- they rely on a pattern or their opacity in providing that extra layer of privacy. All of them block visibility from the outside during the day while still allowing natural sunlight to pass through. 

The benefits of using a privacy window film

• Daytime privacy — outside viewers will no longer be able to see inside
• Good visibility — you will still be able to see outside and admire the view
• Good light — unless you ask for a shaded film that also reduces heat and UV rays, a privacy window film will allow for sunlight and heat to enter the home
• Flexibility — the film can be cut to any size or shape, and can easily cover any type of window or door, regardless of how it looks and how big or small it is
• Practicality — easier to clean compared to blinds or curtains
