Windows are a valuable source of light as well as providing a welcome view to the outside world. Sometimes, however, privacy is required and in offering a range of specialist privacy window films, The Window Film Company can help you obscure vision in a stylish and effective way.

There are two primary types of privacy that an application of window film can deliver:

• Full-time two-way privacy.
• Daytime one-way privacy.

Both types of film are available in a number of finishes and can be installed at your premises by The Window Film Company's experienced installation teams who operate nationwide.

Daytime one-way privacy can be achieved with an application of reflective window film. The film appears reflective on the brighter side of the glass, which is usually the external side during daylight hours, thus preventing vision through the glass. The view from the inside out is maintained. As the film works on the light balance, a minimum ratio of light to dark of 3:1 is necessary for the film to work in this fashion, and a ratio of 7:1 for optimum performance.

Reflective privacy film is available in different grades, in different colours and in both finishes suitable for both internal and external application. As well as providing privacy, reflective film can provide a range of other benefits including UV protection, the cutting down of glare and in some cases protection against solar gain.
