At night if you have on your lights and outside it is dark you will be able to see inside. However, a way to prevent being able to see inside at night is by having an outside light above the window.
@@horvardsongly1477 aren't you supposed to close your blinds/curtains at night. That's why the tiny is used for daytime when you open your windows for fresh air and sunlight
This was very informative and easy to understand. Thank you so much for the video, I started watching a video about how to do this but the chick was so irritating that I couldn’t get past a minute of it.
I am looking for a film that we can see outside and not have hardly any tint, but you cannot see inside the house from the outside... Trying to stay away from blinds and or curtains.
Maybe helpful but the main advantage imo is the reduction of heat and insulation more than for privacy. During the day you will reflect most of the uv light and head well at night you will reflect most of the heat back in. In terms of energy consumption I believe it’s estimated to reduce your cost by 10%. Annually that adds up.
Good video. Can you guesstimate about how much light is reduced from the inside looking out? What percentage darker from inside looking out should I expect with a regular privacy tint? We want our rooms to be as bright as possible during the day. A before and after comparison video from the inside looking out on a sunny day would be a nice follow up.
hi there! I want to have a film which allows as much natural sunlight in the room as possible but others ouside can not see me, day or night, what type should i use?
Hi Mai, That depends on window size, orientation, glass type, etc. I would be best to consult with a knowledgable window film dealer. Are you in Southern California? If so, please call 800-580-9997 M-F 8-5 and we will happily assist. you.
@@doubledark2 Our 3M Night Vision 25 film is very popular for privacy, while still allowing plenty of light in. Be sure to close the blinds at night though. Privacy window film only works during the day.
Damn! Can't believe anyone would give a thumbs down on this video! Well done Brad! miss you, Brother! Although there is a lot of idiots out there and apparently they watched this one.
I want to always see the outside from inside my home without anyone on the outside being able to see me at all, day or night. What product would I use then?
Translucent films are not directional. The effect is the same on both sides. You can only get one-way privacy using reflective film and outdoor lighting. There is a directional film called Lumisty you may want to check out, but it is still only effective from certain angles and the same from either side. glassfilmenterprises.com/lumisty.htm
Please help, my house window glass are bronze stained. before i hanged curtains they were dark and could reflect from the outside and now with curtains hanging they are just clear like a normal window panes, what causes this?
Adding film to dual pane windows can also cause the internal airspace of the panes to exceed the rated pressure and blow the seals between the panes. Be very cautious when putting any film on dual pane windows!!!!
Most manufacturer's now have dual pane safe window films backed by a replacement warranty. These films are engineered to maintain a low level of absorption so that expansion and temperature changes are extremely minimal. 20 years ago, this was a problem. Today, not so much, as long as you stick with a well known major manufacturer like 3M Window Films. Ask to see the dual pane protection warranty. Thank you for the feedback.
Would a tinted film with sheer curtains be able to keep good privacy at night but allow you to look out? I'm trying to avoid frosted film so I can still see out.
Have you done a video on the film's that have a switch to add frosting? You mentioned in the beginning of the video those need their own video and I was looking for more info on that specific type of window
Anthony Goncalves we have not, however we have that in queue. Looks like beginning of 2020. In the interim, feel free to call us. Our switchable film expert will be happy to discuss them with you. 800-580-9997. Thanks for the feedback. It’ll be a fun vid to make.
Dante Rubio it depends on which product you use, but typically the sun is far brighter than interior lights, so even on a cloudy day it is relatively easy to get decent privacy with a medium or darker film in the conditions you described. Thanks
Ok, thanks you very much, so, what is the difference with a two way mirror? does the two way mirror not work at the same way? Both serve as privacy mirrors, so what's the difference? Thank you very much for answer my question
@@danterubio8499 Yes, a 2 way mirror works the same way but is a shinier look. More metals = more mirror-like finish. You do not need to have a "chrome" look to get privacy and most home owners do not want that silver look.
Hi Pamela, Excellent question, and we get that often (note to self: we should do a video on this). Plants get all they need from the light, despite the reduction in infrared heat. Here is an article with more details: madico.com/blog/residential/did-you-know-that-window-film-helps-house-plants
That depends on your preferences. Best to contact a local dealer to discuss in more detail. If you are in SoCal feel free to contact us 800-580-9997. Thank you
What if u have the reflective, mirror tint. And at night when it’s supposedly lighter inside the house, but you have a front porch light on outside would that keep it private still?
Great question. The outdoor porch light would have to be brighter than the interior lighting. You’ll need a bright bulb outside and dimmers inside if you are to achieve this. It’ll be tricky.
We'd need to know the makeup of the glass to better understand what/where the coatings are located. You wouldn't want to hinder the function you originally invested in. Your best bet would be to contact the manufacturer and ask them. Thanks!
Juan Hernandez you may want to ask a local window film dealer to visit or mail samples. Holding the various film up to the glass will give you a much better idea so you know what to expect. Difficult for me to advise you without know more about your specific wants and needs.
depends on what your looking to accomplish - heat rejection, less light, or just no one seeing in. Do YOU want to be able to see out!? Like the other reply, get samples from a local tinter - have them actually install samples that you can look at in ALL lighting conditions!!!
Yes it does. In fact, the refracting nature of frost film spreads the light throughout the room, helping to eliminate overly-bright spots and dark corners.
Our technology does not fade and lose color. Older films did, but that has all been engineered out. All our films have a lifetime warranty with 100% replacement for film and labor should that ever occur. Thank you for the feedback!
Campbell Window Film fantastic! Lifetime warranty is the real deal. My previous comment was directed towards general tint that fades. Thank you for clarifying and improving your techniques.
Thank you so much. Moving into a tiny home and thought this might be the answer for me. Thanks for saving me time and money. Back to square one.

Don't we all.
@@dropndeal not a bad idea

I am looking for a film that we can see outside and not have hardly any tint, but you cannot see inside the house from the outside... Trying to stay away from blinds and or curtains.

Thanks so much. I’m tired using blinds for years but I can use just curtains for nighttime only 😊 simple

Have you tried our visualizer? Here is a link, and thanks for the question. campbellwindowfilm.com/residential-window-tint-visualizer/
Depends on exact film
When I first saw the house I thought it is the house of Michael.
Same
beautifully shot demo video....nice job!
Thank you for your feedback. That means a lot!
best description of how a reflective window film actually works on the internet at 1:30
Or let ur kids draw on the window with permanent black marker
Why don't u do it dumbass
@@@soluspot3493 get a sense of humor dumbass
They do draw on everywhere don't they. You'd be lucky if they draw only on the windows lol.
Good info, thanks

Very informative thank you
I got annoying neighbors. Hope it'd solve my problem for my bed room. Its mostly in front of the house.
Did not tell from which side we should stick the film ? From inside of the glass or out side of the glass it's very important to know pleas
What is the translucent film called where you can see out ok but no one can see in ? I especially want this for night time

does this work to keep the heat out

now there is glass invisible during day and night too
does it help against the noise, too? if not, is there anything else you cold recommend? THANK YOU!
Windows films do not appreciably diminish sound transmission.

Yes, using translucent film, such as a frosted film. If that is not what you want, then correct. You will need blinds or curtains at night.
one way two way mirrors like in stage illusions
Thank you for sharing the video. What is th name of the song in the background?
What would be your recommendation for an interior window with a privacy film? Both rooms having close to the same light. (For a baby room in a church)
That depends on your preferences. Best to contact a local dealer to discuss in more detail. If you are in SoCal feel free to contact us 800-580-9997. Thank you
when light on inside can see thru from out side the house?
Yes
yes exept when you use the frosted version

Does condensation form on windows wtih low E film?
No more so than pre- film conditions- if any.
Can those films be installed on electrically heated windows?

I need privacy to much fadt people around
Might be a stupid question, but if I want privacy but still want the sun to still shine in my home is frosted film the best option?

Does frosted film still let the light in?
Yes it does. In fact, the refracting nature of frost film spreads the light throughout the room, helping to eliminate overly-bright spots and dark corners.

Fades though in the heat and looses color
