Window privacy film any recommendations
Jump to: Newest in thread
We have 2 rooms that we want to add a little bit of privacy to, one is a patio door in the kitchen which looks out onto the garden, blinds or curtains are not really an option. The other room is the lounge which is overlooked by people walking in the street. The kitchen door is more for security, the lounge is more for our privacy we like to sit around naked. I've done a bit of googling but unsure what's best.
We want to see out of both rooms so pres we need a one way film, but don't want blackout windows, maybe patterned.
Has anybody got any advice on this or know of a company who can come & tell us what we need? Thanks in advance. |

You can get mirror film where you can see out but looking in they just see mirror. No idea of suppliers sorry, I just know it does exist. |

A bit costly, but there is such a thing as LCD glass. Basically it's got a switch and power supply. You flick a switch and it makes the glass frosted. Flick it off and you can see through it again.  |

"Yes did look on the bay, there is a lot of blackout film but that's not what we want. Want us to be able to see out & others have a restricted view in. "
Oh it's not blackout stuff I've been buying. Can't remember exactly what I put int he search option but there was a huge selection.  |

The only drawback with the mirror film is at night.....if you have a light on people can see straight through from outside. |

Also you can get double glazed units with blinds built in between the glass...but I think they will be costly too. |

Most of what I've seen does add privacy but also blocks our view of the garden from the inside. We'd like something patterned but don't think they offer one way privacy, the only thing that looks suitable are tint films like you'd put on your car, which are dull & boring. TBH don't think what we want is available sadly. |
