One-Way Privacy & Solar Control
Do you feel like you're living in a fishbowl? Large windows are great for views, but they can leave you exposed to neighbors and street traffic. Curtains block the view you paid for. The solution is Privacy Window Film. From reflective "one-way mirror" tints that allow you to see out while preventing others from seeing in, to deep solar tints that reduce glare, Installix provides professional privacy film application for homes and condos in Burlington.
Types of Privacy Film
Reflective (One-Way Mirror)
During the day, this film creates a mirrored exterior look, reflecting the sun and prying eyes. Inside, you maintain a clear view out. Note: At night, when lights are on inside, the effect reverses.
Dual-Reflective
A high-performance film that is reflective on the outside but less reflective on the inside, allowing for better night views than standard mirror film.
Blackout / Whiteout
For complete opacity (e.g., hiding a storage room or spandrel glass), we offer 100% blocking films that stop all light and vision.
The Solution: Heat & Glare Reduction
Privacy is often the primary goal, but the side benefits are massive. These films reject up to 80% of solar heat, significantly cooling your home in summer. They also cut glare on TV and computer screens, making your living space more comfortable.
Why Choose Installix?
- Glass Compatibility: Not all films are safe for thermal windows. Applying the wrong dark tint can cause thermal stress cracks. We calculate the safe absorption rate for your specific glass type.
- Commercial Grade: We do not use "big box store" purple dyes. We use ceramic and sputtered metal films that never fade or bubble.
- Optical Clarity: Our installation leaves no distortion. It looks just like tinted glass.
Technical Specifications
| Metric | Benefit |
|---|---|
| VLT (Visible Light Transmission) | The darkness of the tint. 5% (Limo) to 70% (barely visible). |
| TSER (Total Solar Energy Rejected) | The true measure of heat blocking. Our films reject 50-80% of heat. |
| UV Rejection | 99%+ protection against fading of floors and carpets. |
Our Process: Expert Application
Step 1: Consultation
We show you samples. Seeing the tint in your actual lighting conditions is crucial.
Step 2: Cleaning
We deep-clean the glass to remove silicone residue, paint, and dust.
Step 3: Installation
The film is applied wet. We squeegee it dry and trim the edges. We instruct you on the curing time (do not clean for 30 days).
Pricing Factors
- Film Technology: Nano-Ceramic films (high heat rejection, low reflectivity) cost more than standard metalized films.
- Pane Size: Large panes are efficient to film. Many small panes (French doors) increase labor significantly.
- Height: Skylights or high foyer windows require special access.
