Privacy Window Film

Legacy_user

Moving into an apartment with floor to ceiling windows. We want some privacy so have looked at the option of one-way mirror film. I’ve tried some on a window at my current place however it does make the room really ‘dull’. Are there any alternatives to this or any brands better than others?

Thanks in advance

I have used the mirror film on some windows but you can see through it once a light goes on , ive bought blinds .

You can get film that's just like a frosted appearance, so still lets light in

I have used frosted from https://www.purlfrost.com.
They have a large range and each product has the percentage of light that still comes through shown starting at 90%. So if the one you have tried looks dull maybe you will find one here. I bought from Amazon who were cheaper.

I also have some sheer blinds but they could cost a lot more and the film was easy to fit with a soapy water spray, a squeeze and a Stanley knife.

If the windows are floor to ceiling, could you just put the film on the bottom half of the window?

With large windows you could have other issues: heat loss in winter, heat gain in summer, furnishing fabrics/ carpet bleaching out. If so you may wish to select a multitasking window treatment.
