In this article, we willl discuss the most commonly raised concerns about one-way privacy window film.
At Luxury Window Tinting, we believe that a knowledgeable consumer has no surprises! 😉 It is our personal and professional goal to provide only the highest-quality and beautiful window privacy products that will enhance the lifestyle and comfort of Langford and Victoria homeowners.
Answer 1: All one-way privacy films are designed for daytime privacy. Therefore, at dusk when the interior lights are on, window treatments/coverings (blinds, shades, etc.) are required to be drawn (just as with regular glass) to maintain nighttime privacy.
We mention this due to most door/entry glazings not having blinds that are able to be drawn closed at night.
Answer #2: Optimal one-way privacy is achieved when a room with windows only on one side (and a blank wall on the other) is tinted.
If there are other windows directly opposite the room to which the windows are being tinted, it can create a “light tunnel” through the room in which people from the exterior side of the building may be able see a shadowy silhouette of a person on the inside of the “light tunnel” between the two opposite windows/walls.
In situations where someone wants 24 hour privacy and has no window coverings, we also offer an opaque frost film product which enables light to transfer, but maintains privacy at all hours (including night time / after dark).
Frost window Film: The Best window film solution for 24/7 Privacy
For spaces that require privacy at all hours, we recommend frost window film (or blackout or whiteout film). All of these kinds of films will give your home, office or storage area complete privacy during both day and night.
The reason we primarily recommend frost film is that frosted film still allows some light to filter inside, creating a soft white glow and a comforting ambiance. You can rest assured that both privacy and aesthetics will be preserved.
Many designers and home owners alike choose this soft, white-gray frost film to provide them with the privacy they need in areas like bathtubs, toilets and garages or workspaces.
