interior office...what film do i use?

[tintgirl2000]

I tried reading the latest thread about interior mirror and got totally lost. I was called by a doctor's office to come and make a interior office window one way private from the waiting room. She wants to look into the waiting room from her office but doesn't want them to see inside her office. I use global for my residential and have laid their residential. I took over a piece of siver reflective 20% but it didn't give them the effect they wanted. The lighting is probably 50/50. Please make it simple for me. I would rather use global if possible, but am open for best advice.

It doesn't get any simplier than this....watch a police movie where they have a criminal lineup. The bad guys have bright lights in their face, the victim is sitting in the dark. No matter what brand film you have, the doctor will need to be in a significantly darker room than the waiting area. The lighting creates the one way effect, not the film!

Optune 5% from Hanitek is the best choice. Non-reflective inside and very reflective on the outside. There is a dealer on here that can point you in the right direction--Haniteksouth

yeah Optitune 5 would be the way to go

Any reflective film will do it. Johnson SV-10, LLumar DR-15, Generic Silver 20 with 5% charcoal on the inside...it doesn't matter. If your lighting isn't correct your not going to get the one way effect.

Word.

The only problem is that they ultimately want the immpossible. Once you tell them that they have to sit and work in a less than typically lit room for eight hours, they usually just get the film and deal with what they get, and these guys are all right... Any reflective film will do as long as the light is significantly brighter on the patients' side.

Silver 20 + automotive 5% = NO way mirror.

Try 20% auto first.

Lighting is key.

yeah you definitely need to put a non reflective film on the side you want to see out of, if not you'll be seeing your reflection more than anything.

That is great advice. I appreciate it. They will have to understand.

Thanks guys
