  • who is best supplier of mirror effect vinyl?

    Posted by Jon Fields on 21 June 2005 at 18:11

    A customer has asked us to quote to place mirror image vinyl(one way)
    for security reasons..
    who is the best supplier for this and is it good material to apply to single paned windows etc..what is the best technique to apply?
    also when it’s dark outside/ light is on inside does it still have the same effect ie will it always mirror.or can you see through it .if that makes sense..

    many thanks

    i understand one-way vision (not the mirror bit) but have a look at these recent posts to see if this helps you

    hi
    it’s basically a mirrored film for windows for privacy..Ive seen offices around with this sort of material..
    mirror on one side so you can’t see in but you can see out ok ..
    wasn’t sure if it a type of car film or not.

    One way vision is down to the light ratio,ie 7 to 1, to obtain true one way vision there has to be 7 times more light on the outside so to speak as there is on the inside( area you want to keep private)

    We achieve this by using what you would class as limo tint 5% vlt, or by using both mirror tint, silver 20, and then the 5%.

    You are right when you say it works in opposite at night, ie when ratio is reversed, lighter inside than out.

    Phone Bekaert Specialty Films, 01905-640400, they can advise better and will send you some swatch samples.
