Does this look reflective on the outside of the house? I live in a building where only non-reflective films are allowed on windows.

I've just talked to my neighbor, they did their windows after they saw mine. They made the mistake of putting up the portion that is meant to be discarded. Be sure to read instruction carefully. I think that is why people have failure to cling to windows.

No it does not look reflective, although it is difficult to tell from the photo.

No. I also rent a condo with specific rules about windows, even drapes and blinds. My landlord couldn't tell the film was on my windows (and they are large) when I pointed it out. There is a slight and I stress slight gray blue cast to the windows but they are clear, you can tell if my blinds are open or closed. They are not metallic or silvery from either direction.

Depends on the time of day and where you are standing. I believe it will reflect which ever light source is greater. So during the day, the sunight will reflect off of the film, giving that sense of privacy on the inside but still allowing you to see outside. However during the night it's the opposite, when the interior lights are on, you wont be able to see anything outside, but everything is visible inside your home.

The clear film UV protection I bought must be applied inside as it wouldn't adhere in weather over time. ( As to the first question, to be honest I haven't been able to find anyone to install it yet--- we have a three story high indoor skylight and I'm still hoping the film will do the job to keep art from fading. )

It is for the outside of the windows, not inside use. Unless your tint is on the outside...................

I have a 46" of this model in a brightly lit room. NO PROBLEMS WHATSOEVER. I was worried too. But, one thing for me is that my window is on the side of my tv not directly behind. I,too, viewed it at several different Best Buys and it worried me how much reflection I saw. However, it's been strange to me. It doesn't seem as reflective since I got it in a home environment. One morning, with the blinds open even...I walked by and looked at the tv and had to stop because for a moment it almost looked matte.

I wish I could help! We haven't been able to get it installed but other similar film we've used does not have a mirror look from the inside though some will look that way from the outside. The kind we bought is not supposed to--that's the higher rated blocking kind, I believe. Also, it doesn't distort the view very much if at all. Sorry we can't speak to the exact roll we bought but we hope this helps a bit. Godf luck!

The screen is matte. Mine sits next to a bright window, I've never noticed any glare or reflection. It's like a bottomless pit for any light it didn't emit.

yes as long a potential reflection from light hitting the window pane does not interfere with the photo process

It's clear! We bought it for a window! Hope this helps!! And it's awesome!!

Mine is covering a mirror- but enough light bounces through it to make it look like a window. It's probably perfect for a plant that likes light, but not direct sunlight

You install this on the inside of the window - inside the house. As long as it's above 40*F in the house, you should be fine to install this window film.

This product is highly reflective. But, inasmuch as it is also flexible, it's more like a fun house mirror. I taped a section of it and fashioned it into a cylinder to use as a reflector for anamorphic drawings. Worked well for that purpose.

Absolutely! Ours is double paned. It is just a film that also can be easily removed. I am happy with it because it gives me the privacy during the day, no one can see in our home no matter what. However, at night it doesn't do the same. You are still a fish in a bowl through windows with the film on.

It's definitely more of a matte finish. . .no problems with reflective glare.

Yes and no. It is not intended for privacy. They make a reflective film for that. However during the day it is usually much lighter outside than inside and people can not see in. At night just the opposite is true.

i personally wouldn't tint the outside of any type of window because cleaning the dirt and debris will scratch the film. It would probably work on the inside. If you don't like it, use a clothes steamer and peel it right off!

The view isn't distorted, but since its a tint it is a lot darker. I had to add landscaping lights (bright ones) outside in order to see what the dogs were up to when I have them out back after the sun went down. I also have to turn the lights off inside as well to check on them without going outside. Not a complaint, but trying to give you an idea.Its not really mirror like except when light hits it just right. It does act as a really good privacy tint though and actually looks pretty good if its applied with no bubbles. You can't see inside from outside from more than a few feet unless it is brighter inside than out. (Nighttime with lights on inside) The view isn't distorted, but since its a tint it is a lot darker.
