There are several reasons why you would need window tints in an office, security being one of the chief concerns. Another reason is that most big corporations tend to use tilted windows and by simply following their example you can give your small business office an air of importance and sophistications. For whatever reason you may want to tilt your office’s windows, the One Way Mirror Window Film is your best option and it should not cost more than 100 bucks to cover a small business. You can easily apply the film by yourself and save yourself the cost of hiring someone to do the job for you. The only thing you need to know about window tints is that their opacity is measured in something called visible light transmittance or VLT. The smaller the VLT percentage, the darker the room will be. So a 5% tilt will make a room dark enough for comfortable video projector usage, which is to say very dark, 15% will be dark, 35% will virtually mimic a cloudy day outside, 50% give you something similar to the shade a tree would give you, and 65% will let most light pass in, but from the outside you will still get a mirror finish assuring the complete privacy of your clients and employees.

A completely different situation where you would use a window film is in a bathroom door or a clear shower screen that you need to blur out and yet allow all the light to pass through. For those situations the best choice would be the DC Fix 3460276 Pearl Self-Adhesive Window Film. It is perfectly water resistant, and it is completely mat, giving you all the privacy you would need while in the shower. You can apply it yourself, take it off and apply it somewhere else even after several years of use in the same place. It is actually thick enough that some people apply it on the tiles next to the cooking stove to protect them from oil and grease splashes, particularly since it is so affordable that you can simply change it every month instead of slaving away scrubbing the tiles clean.

Having a mirror finish on your windows in a nice neighborhood can send some mix signals, but if you need to protect your privacy during the day, while still getting a lot of light through you windows, then you will love the Gila PRS361 Daytime Privacy Window Film. It has an 18% VLT so you need to know that it will also darken your home, but it will also keep out those damaging UV rays. The one thing that you have to be absolutely clear about when using this type of privacy window tints is that they only work during the day because they need to have the exterior light level higher than the interior. So if you are going to turn on the lights at night and not draw the curtains, everyone will be able to see inside your home just as if there was no tint on the windows whatsoever.

The Gila PB78 Privacy Residential Window Film is an excellent alternative to the mirror finish window tint because all it does is it darkens the windows to the point where it would be almost impossible for someone on the outside to see in. However, because it is clearly a black window tint you can always argue that it is a simple protection against the bright light and the UV rays. In fact the Gila PB78 Privacy Residential Window Film actually does reject 99% of all UV rays and 94% glare. For that reason the one thing that you need to be aware of is that most plants, fish and reptiles do need UV rays to develop properly so if you have anyone of these things you will need to get a UV lamp for them or place them next to an unprotected window.
