Privacy coating, glass

tealady

Hi all. Iam considering approaching companies to put a coating on some windows.
Ideally I want to look out with people being unable to look in.
Also I want maximum light to come in.
Has anyone any recommendations of companies who could do this please as I am hopeless at any sort of DIY.
Thanks

Great story about Jeremy Clarkson having this installed the wrong way round in his London flat bathroom window. Didn't find out till it was too late.

I think all privacy glass works on the difference between inside and outside light levels.

It sounds as if you are looking for one way mirror glass, but that only works when it is lighter outside than inside. This link will give you more information. https://www.purlfrost.com/privacy-window-film/privacy-one-way-mirror-film/



Any decent handyman should be able to install it. I put frosted equivalent onto our porch windows. The instructions provided actually make it seem much more difficult than it actually is.

My bathroom window in already frosted, but I got a patterned version of this to make it even less see through.
