Reflective Window Film
There’s no denying that one of the keys to a successful business is telling the world about what you do and trying to entice customers or clients to look your way. But, that doesn’t necessarily mean you want people peeping through your windows when your employees or colleagues are trying to work. That’s where reflective window film comes in.
This self-adhesive privacy saviour provides a mirror-like view from the outside when applied to your windows and glass doors. It can even be used indoors too. Ideal if there are parts of your business premises that need that extra little bit of discretion.

What is Reflective Silver Window Film?
Sometimes known as one-way mirror film, it is a type of self-adhesive window film that offers increased privacy when applied to any flat glass surface. From the inside, you can still see out but other people can’t see in. They will simply just be staring at their reflection.
It is available in a range of stylish colours and levels of privacy too.
How Does Reflective Silver Window Film Work?
How much privacy this window film provides depends a lot on where the light is coming from and how bright it is. Put simply, the side of the film that is exposed to the brightest light will look like a mirror.
During the day, it will be the exterior side of the silver window film that?s reflective. But at night, once the sun has gone down and everyone in the office or commercial premises has the lights turned on, the effect is reversed.
If you need two-way window privacy, don’t worry. You would simply need to opt for a frosted film, rather than a reflective silver window film.

Do You Put Window Film on the Inside or Outside?
If you want your window film to stand the test of time, it’s best to make sure you apply it to the interior side of the glass. That means it is safe from unpredictable weather and less likely to be subject to the scrapes and scratches of general wear and tear.
What are the Benefits of Using Mirror Window Film in a Commercial Setting?
Your commercial building may be the most contemporary, stylish or well-branded premises around, but if the people inside are lethargic because of the constant heat, squinting at the glare on their screens or just can’t concentrate with a large footfall passing outside, something needs to change.
That change? Adding mirror window film.
Aside from the increased privacy, you can also enjoy reduced heat (and money saved on energy through not having to crank up the air conditioning), lower levels of glare, and also fewer harmful UV rays.
Frequently asked questions about reflective window film
Will Reflective Window Film Block Out Natural Light?
As a general rule, the window film stops the view from outside, not the sunlight.
Can You See Through Mirror Window Film at Night?
So, if it is dark outside, but someone inside has turned all the lights on, the interior side of the film is the one that will become reflective. In this instance, anyone outside would be able to see in.
If this presents a bit of a problem, drawing any curtains or blinds you have will be a very quick fix.
Is Reflective Film Easy to Install on Commercial Windows?
How Long Does Reflective Window Film Typically Last?
You can expect your mirror film to last at least 5 years. That’s why we offer an industry-leading 5-year warranty.
Are There Different Levels of Reflectivity Available for Mirror Window Film?
The SX-SG09 Silver / Grey One Way Daytime Privacy is more traditionally mirror-like, so much better for stopping by to check your appearance.

Does Window Film Provide UV Protection?
But, thanks to reflective film, you can filter out roughly 99% of harmful UV light. And by reducing the UV light levels in internal rooms, you could also be saving money on your furnishings budget too.
Can Window Film Reduce Glare on Computer Screens?
Mirrored film can reduce glare by filtering out the harshest sunlight, while still letting comfortable levels of light pass through. A bit like putting a light pair of sunglasses on your windows.
An added benefit is that it can help you manage the heat, so summer days in the workplace don’t have to equal discomfort.
Can Reflective Window Film Help Improve Security?
Window film can also hold glass fragments together should someone try to smash the window during a break in or as an act of vandalism, as opposed to it shattering into countless small shards.
How Do You Maintain Mirror Window Film?
Allow 30 days after installation for it to adhere properly to the glass, and then clean the film with non-abrasive cloths and mild soapy water.
It’s best to avoid industrial-strength cleaners or pads that could scratch the surface however, as this will affect the overall appearance.
