Hi Richard,
It all depends on the lighting.
No matter what film you use it will not work when you have less than 1 in 7 variation in lighting either side of the glass. Try installing lighting directly over glass on the side you want to be mirrored, this can work if positioned correctly.
Hope this helps.

HI Rich, hear this all the time from my clients, I mention Police TV shows like the Bill in the interview rooms. They sit in near darkness one side and brighter the other to achieve the effect.
My ratio is about 70/30 light split.
If you can direct a spotlight onto the film this helps solve the problem

Your customer sounds like most these days… "oh it MUST do this and that, but cant be expensive!"
bit like… "oh i must have those Versaci Jeans, but can only afford the price of Wrangler" 🙄 then Wrangler it is, wise up skint boy! 😛 :lol1: -
