One Way Mirror
Solar Gard TrueVue 5 OneWayMirror is specially made for a one-way mirror effect, and is also known as a line-up film or spy film - like the ones used in some supermarkets.
Note!
To function correctly, it requires that the light is dimmed on the back side. This means that in the evening, it will be possible to look in when it's dark outside and the light is on inside.
If this is not desired, one can supplement with, for example, blinds or a curtain.
FAQ: Why can you see inside when it's dark outside?

Why can you see inside when it's dark outside?
In the evening or in dark environments, the conditions that affect how mirror film on windows works change. This is mainly due to the difference in brightness on each side of the film. Here is a more detailed explanation:- The Role of Light Conditions:
The ability of mirror film to create one-way visibility depends on a significant difference in brightness. During the day, when sunlight is stronger outside, light is reflected on the outer surface of the film, creating a mirror effect outward. This prevents people from seeing inside, while those inside can see out.
- Reversal of Light Conditions in the Evening:
In the evening, when it is darker outside but brighter inside due to artificial lighting, this effect is reversed. The indoor lighting now becomes the stronger light source, and therefore the light is reflected inward. This reduces or eliminates the mirror effect outward, making it possible to see inside from the outside.
- Lack of Reflection:
Without a strong light source outside to create the necessary reflection, the film does not function as an effective barrier for visibility.
To maintain privacy in the evening, it may be necessary to use curtains or blinds in conjunction with the mirror film. Alternatively, films that offer privacy both during the day and at night can be considered, but these typically also limit the view from the inside.
Is there a one-way film that also works in the evening?
No, a one-way mirror film works by reflecting light on one side. Therefore, it loses its effectiveness in the evening when the light conditions are reversed.A solution might be to install external lighting that is directed towards the film from the outside. This can help maintain a difference in brightness, allowing the film to continue working in the evening. However, this solution requires careful planning and can be energy-consuming.
