So we did a customers house with RN07GR. It turned out nice and blocks a crap load of heat. Only problem is he really wanted the one way mirror because one big window on the front of the house. At night you can see straight through and into the master bedroom. Even with lights on outside the window, you can see right in clearly. So I need to find something. I figure no matter what we put on there it is gonna have the same effect. Can't put blinds on this window. Any one have any suggestions?

More light outside and less light inside... you can't fight physics.

fa sho V. your like me and post in every thread :trustme cept when your bashing me :lol2

but seriously TS, have them put a couple BRIGHT spots outside, and it should help. Other than that, theres not a whole lot you can do. I believe thats a 7% silver film? You can't go a whole lot darker than that.

oh yeah, try putting a dimmer on the inside lights. you can dim then to 50-60% normal power, and not tell a huge difference. as a archite, their always preching eco friendly to us, and a lot of the new retail stores are going all natural during the day. Powering a 100,000 sq/ft building(walmart, etc) with skylights can save $40,000 a year in electrical bills. While initially you will notice a light difference, after less than a minute you will be used to it and not really notice. It'll save you money, and provide more privacy like they are looking for. kinda light being outside in sunlight, then going inside your house or shop.....

I like the spot light idea... probably make the house look better to.

Throw some aluminum foil on that window... j/k :lol:trustme

I don't think the light idea is gonna work. I'll see if I can get a pic of the house. The window is on the second floor but you can see through it from the street and neighbors houses. What if I put a frost film over the one way mirror? I know they will lose visibility but I don't think they care at this point

I don't think the spot light will work either. Once they turn on the bedroom light at night you will still be able to see in the windows. You said shades were out of the question and im sure white matt would be too. DECO?

      TintX Puremax and Koolmax

      All Right cool. I've been practicing with an inexpensive tint I found on amazon. Its called Rockrose. I'm just about ready to make some cards to pass around to get clientele. I've been debating if I should start with Puremax cuz its a lot cheaper or Geoshield cuz of the great quality I've heard of. I'll probably go with Geoshield so I can make it easy on myself and make sure I do great quality work for my customers. Are you already doing doing jobs for customers? If so, did you stop using the Puremax and now only use Geoshield?

      Heavy Ghosting - Geoshield "Geo" Line

      Ghosting week require a smoother, more even and spread out shrink. Look at my old "ryk shrink" using 2 heart guns with an over/under setup. That would be my suggestion.

      Heavy Ghosting - Geoshield "Geo" Line

      Hey all, I am not a pro tinter but more or less just someone who likes to experiment / DIY. Wanted to ask if there was anyone here who has used the Geoshield "Geo" line for automotive purposes? I really like the color, but I get really bad ghosting for anything that requires decent shrinking. The film is specced as architectural, but has a PS adhesive so some use it in auto applications. I sent an email to see if that is the reason why it's for flat glass .. lol This is a sputtered TiN film and has a beautiful color imho. This reminds me of Huper Optik, and not quite sure but I think Johnson had a line called "InsulatIR" that I could never get my hands on to try. The film has a slightly purplish reflection (TiN I guess), when put on green auto glass, filters out and looks super neutral. ❤️ I've had it on my auto for a while but my rear window is a mess when the sun hits it (ghosting) and was curious if this is just not suitable for auto Any info would be appreciated. Skill issue, ie: shrink with lower heat? lol Thanks.

      chameleon window tint good quality

      If you don't mind trying to source some, there is a large Japanese manufacturer that makes a bunch of dichroic - looking films. It might be your style, but it would be hard to get your hands on some. https://www.braintec.co.jp/filmlab/ I believe some of the films do have decent heat-rejection, but because of the nature of the films, looking through them can be really funky. They are well-known in Japan and would likely be of decent quality. Also, very expensive. Depending on where you are, shipping would also be $$$.

      TintX Puremax and Koolmax

      I feel the difference in quality with geoshield. Not only is it easier to peel the liner off but shrinking feels better and I think the material feels slightly thicker(helps with not creasing) Only downside that the price noticeably different. For mainly everything Its atleast another 100 on top of for example stuff from tints Lexen. I haven’t tried solarfree either.

      Automotive Tint Comparison

      At least twice, yes. Although since we don't know what vehicle it is you're planning to tint, that was a bit presumptuous of me.
