Privacy Window Film is ideal for both businesses and homes to obscure vision into and out of an existing window. While allowing sunlight through your windows can be beneficial for our health and to provide natural light, in some situations, ensuring a certain level of privacy is essential to protect the people, furniture or technology inside.
Sureguard Window Films® offer a broad range of Privacy Window Films in many styles, colours, and finishes. Whether you are looking for a Total Blackout Privacy Window Film or a more decorative Frosted Privacy Window Film, all of our Window Films offer a range of exceptional functions to keep your properties private and safe.
There are two main categories of Privacy Window Films. Within each category, there are a range of finishes available:
Daylight Hours One-Way Privacy Window Film works on an imbalance of light. The brighter side is a reflective surface or mirror, which is “flooded” with the strongest light source (typically daylight). The opposite “darker side” of the Window Film allows you to see through the window in a usual fashion, usually meaning that those inside can see out, but people outside aren’t able to look in.
This type of Window Film requires a lux differential of at least 4:1 (60/40 ratio) in favour of the brightest side of the Window Film. During low levels of daylight and throughout the night, if artificial light is being used inside the room, the privacy effect will reverse.
To achieve the ‘one-way’ effect; the outside needs to be brightly lit (either by daylight or floodlight). People looking in from the outside will see a mirrored surface, whereas people inside will see a tinted pane of glass.
The opposite effect occurs when the light from outside is less bright than indoors, where people outside the property will be able to see inside and those indoors will see a reflection of themselves. In a domestic dwelling or commercial space, this tends not to be a concern due to the use of blinds or curtains of an evening giving people inside privacy.
Both types of Privacy Window Film are available in a wide variety of colours and styles, including: Frosted; Blackout; Whiteout; Coloured and Opaque Privacy options.
Frosted Privacy Window Film is a highly popular choice for homes, offices, and partitions, offering:
