Privacy

We love windows because they give us a view of the outside world, but without blinds, shades, or curtains, the outside world can also see inside. Although windows are beneficial for many reasons, privacy isn’t one of them. Sometimes you don’t want to obstruct the outside view or cover up the window to prevent spying eyes. That’s where privacy window film comes in handy. Some privacy films make it harder to see inside but don’t restrict the view looking out, while others provide two-way privacy.

3M Privacy Window Film Solutions

At WAO Garage, we specialize in all types of window privacy film, including:

Frosted Privacy Window Film

You’ve probably seen frosted privacy film before, whether you realized it was a window tint or not. This type of film has a frosty, matte appearance that gives it a blurred effect, making it great for glass conference room walls, office doors, or cubicle partitions. Glass conference room walls don’t offer a lot of private space to conduct a meeting. Adding frosted privacy film can deter onlookers from peeking in while still letting natural light pass through.

Frosted glass finishes can also give your personal office more privacy, whether you need to reduce distractions or work on confidential information. In an open floor plan, cubicles create more workspaces, but with glass partitions, they don’t do much to enhance privacy. Frosted film can add more separation so that employees feel like they have their own space while still fostering an open and airy workplace.

One-Way & Mirror Tint Window Film

If you don’t want people to see anything inside, you can select a one-way window film. One-way films usually have a mirror tint, as the reflective quality blocks visibility. This mirror-like appearance makes it a good option for security rooms where guards may need to see out without being seen themselves. Retailers and other shops sometimes use one-way privacy window film so managers can keep a close eye on everything while going unnoticed. An important consideration for this type of privacy film is that its one-way characteristics depend on lighting conditions.

Opaque Window Film

While frosted and one-way film let some light through, opaque window film eliminates all light and visibility through the glass. It provides the most privacy as nobody can see either in or out. Opaque film comes in different colors and finishes, so you can use it to enhance aesthetics as well.

Add Privacy & Save Energy

Along with its other benefits, privacy window film by 3M can also help you save energy. By reflecting a significant portion of infrared rays and solar heat, privacy film can reduce your energy consumption. It can help moderate the indoor temperature, so you don’t have to use as much energy to heat or cool your space. This improved efficiency means you’ll also save money on utility bills.
