Choosing my blackout window film
Discover the different types and characteristics of blackout films, to help you make the right choice.
Blackout film, frosted film, opaque film... These terms all seem to mean the same thing, but there are many differences.
How do you choose between all the glare-blocking films on offer? Luminis Films, experts in window film for almost 30 years, can help you choose your privacy film.
Frosted film: protects from view without darkening
The frosted film provides protection from prying eyes while letting in soft, diffused light. This day-and-night privacy window film is highly effective against prying eyes, providing 24-hour privacy. It also blurs glances from near and far.
The frosted film filters glances by transforming the pane into real sandblasted glass: it blurs the view. This film is particularly popular in doctors' surgeries, intimate rooms in the home, glazed offices and commercial premises. These are sensitive areas where visitors prefer to remain out of sight.

The one-way mirror film: seeing without being seen
Thanks to its specific composition, one-way mirror film turns glass into a real mirror, enhancing your privacy. This anti-glare window film is very useful for a window overlooking the street, or a bay window, for example.
When you're inside, the transparency of the glass is preserved, allowing you to keep your view of the outside world. From inside the room, you can see what's happening on the other side. The magical effect is that you become invisible to the people outside!
Want tocombine privacy and decoration? Some window films are tinted to match your facade. For a decoration full of finesse and detail!
Important: Mirror effect film only works when the light is stronger outside than inside. So, at night, with the lights on indoors, the film is not visible.
and the glazing becomes transparent again. Remember to close your shutters or blinds 😉🌕

The opaque film: cuts off the viewer and some of the light
This type of blackout film opacifies the window by partially obstructing the passage of light. In fact, this opacifying film lets between 1% and 5% of light into your home.
The application of this privacy film can transform the use of a room. With an opacifying film, your glass surfaces almost become real partitions!
For a permanent solution, opt for adhesive film. Want to remove your opacifying film easily and put it back on later? Opt for a glass-static adhesive!
Opaque film: suppresses light and visibility
This window film is 100% opaque. Applying an opaque film can plunge a room into complete darkness. It prevents light transmission from one side of the glass to the other. Opaque privacy film enhances your privacy.
This opaque privacy film ensures total discretion. The opaque film completely modifies your glazing, blocking out view and light.
