Highly Mirrored or Light-Optimized? What You Should Know
Mirror films are closely related to sun protection films
In terms of technical structure, mirror films are identical to strongly mirrored sun protection films. Only window films with a very high chrome content (=highly mirrored films) are suitable as one-way mirror films. Only these can reflect enough light for the surface of the film to appear like a mirror to the human eye, making it impossible to see through.
Where there is light, there is also shadow
The high level of privacy comes at the cost of reduced light transmission. Rooms with applied mirror film lose approximately 25–30% of light (depending on the color choice) compared to untreated windows. This is often undesirable in living spaces, which is why we have developed a special Prolight one-way mirror film. This film contains fewer chrome particles. While the privacy effect is only slightly reduced, the light loss is cut roughly in half compared to strongly mirrored films.
Are there also anti-reflective films?
The mirror effect known from one-way mirror films also exists in reverse as an anti-reflective film for displays and televisions. This film uses a slightly textured surface to scatter incoming light, thereby reducing reflections. The protective film features a silicone adhesive layer that enables easy and bubble-free installation.
FAQs on spy mirror films
As a general rule: For modern windows installed after 1995, only external installation is recommended! For possible exceptions, please contact Velken customer service for expert advice.
Advantages of indoor installation- Film is protected from the weather, which increases durability.
- It is cheaper than the variant for external installation
- Outdoor installation offers the advantage of higher efficiency (approx. 4%) compared to internal installation.
- Solar control films can also be applied to the outside of modern windows.
- Films are resistant to the weather thanks to an additional protective layer.
Mirror films have chrome particles vapour-deposited on one side. As a result, they always reflect to the brighter side in daylight. It is still possible to see through to the darker side. Mounted on an external window, you therefore enjoy one-sided privacy protection during the day. Unfortunately, mirror films do not work at night for physical reasons.
The mirror effect of a reflective film is only sufficiently good in daylight, because there is then a clear difference in light. In the evening, when it is dark, you can see through the film again. This means that permanent privacy protection is not guaranteed.
Like a sticker, self-adhesive mirror films have a transparent adhesive on the back. This is covered by another protective film, which must first be removed. The adhesive side and the window pane are then sprayed with water. The film is then placed on the glass and the water is squeezed out from under the film.
To remove a mirror film, it is gripped at one corner and then slowly pulled off at the wrong angle. In the case of adhesive films, the film can first be heated by hand with a hair dryer to dissolve the film adhesive.
