Anti FadingĪll our mirror films have the added benefit of reducing the negative effects of UV light by up to 99.9%. Unfortunately, the reflective mirror effect will not work at night due to the lack of sunlight, and therefore there will be no privacy benefit. These types of films are very common on office windows, but home owners have now starting to use silver window film for one way privacy, or to conceal valuable items for added security. On the darker films, the high reflective silver finish when combined with sunlight will restrict the view through the glass. Daytime privacyĪ beneficial benefit of the mirror finish is the enhanced privacy. If heat rejection is the main concern, especially with double glazed windows, we would recommend applying an external reflective film as it is more efficient as stopping the heat before it is trapped within the pane. The mirror finish also helps rejecting the excess heat before it has a chance of entering the room through the glass, by simply reflecting the sunlight. Think of it as putting sunglasses on your windows. Reflective films are tinted films which once applied will help reduce the amount of daylight coming through the glass, thus reducing excess glare. Window film is durable, waterproof and has a scratch resistant coating. Once applied to glass, the mirror effect will be immediate.
