One-way mirrors, also known as two-way mirrors, are often associated with observation rooms and security applications, where viewers on one side of the glass may look through the window without being seen on the other side. These types of glass mirror effects are commonly seen on television and in the movies. Clients seeking one way-mirror effect should be aware that light conditions are an important factor in achieving this result. The 'observer' side of the glass must be darker than the side of the glass that is being observed, otherwise you will be able to see back in. Think about mirrored glass buildings. In the daytime you can't see in only exterior reflections are visible. However, at night when interior lights are on you can see right in. For optimum results, the side of the glass which you want to be able to see should be very brightly lit, while the 'hidden' side of the room is completely dark. Adding darkening layers of film can enhance the effect, allowing a certain amount of diffuse lighting on the observation side. It should be noted, there is no such thing as a true one-way mirror--it defies the laws of physics! Apex Window Films can work with you to achieve the best mirror effect for your specific application using our wide range of quality window film products.
