Silver P18 (P18ARL)
A high-performance silver architectural film, the most efficient sun-control film 3M makes. Built for buildings where heat reduction is the priority, with an abrasion-resistant coating for durability.
A bedroom that faces the neighbours, a boardroom behind clear glass, a clinic window on a busy street: they all need the same fix. Privacy film blocks the view in while daylight keeps coming through. Some films do it by day; frost and mirror finishes hold it around the clock.
Clear glass gives everyone outside the same view you paid for inside. Curtains fix that by killing the daylight; walls fix it by killing the room. Privacy film fixes it on the glass itself, and the right choice depends on which hours matter to you.
Reflective and dark films give strong daytime privacy and reject heat at the same time, the choice for street-facing homes, offices and storefronts. Frosted and mirror finishes don't depend on daylight at all: bathrooms, meeting rooms and clinic windows stay screened at midnight as at noon.
Privacy film comes in two kinds. Reflective and dark tints hide the room by day and cut cooling bills as a bonus; frosted and mirror finishes block the view day and night while keeping the room bright. We match the film to your hours.
Same glass, different hours. Each situation has a film built for it.
Neighbouring windows and the street look straight into the rooms your family lives in.
Glass partitions keep offices bright but put every meeting and screen on show.
Patients, tellers and back offices sit in full view of a busy footpath.
Rooms that need light through the glass but never a view, at any hour.
One-way mirror and dark reflective films use the light balance: as long as it is brighter outside than in, the street sees a mirror and you keep your view. The same coating rejects most of the sun's heat, so the room gets cooler as it gets private.
One honest caveat. After dark, with your lights on, the balance flips. For rooms that must stay private at night, pair reflective film with curtains, or choose a frost.
Frosted film turns glass translucent: daylight keeps pouring through while the view is obscured from both sides, at every hour. White matt and opaque mirror films go further and block the view completely. Our day and night mirror film passes just 1.5% of light for observation glazing.
This is the film family for bathrooms, meeting rooms, clinics, and any bedroom window where night privacy is non-negotiable.
Frosted and gradient films obscure the view, not the light. Rooms stay bright and open where curtains and blinds would shut them down.
The dark and reflective privacy films are solar films too, rejecting up to 80% of total solar energy while they screen the room.
Day-only or around the clock: we specify by when the room needs to be private, not by what happens to be on the shelf.
The films that screen bank counters, boardrooms and federal government offices are the same ones that keep a family lounge out of the neighbours' view. Every recommendation states its VLT and finish, so you know exactly what the glass will and will not show.
Reflective daytime films sit alongside frosted and mirror finishes here, because privacy is a job several families of film can do. Open any film for its full specification.
A high-performance silver architectural film, the most efficient sun-control film 3M makes. Built for buildings where heat reduction is the priority, with an abrasion-resistant coating for durability.
A brilliant frosted film that gives clear glass a refined dusted-crystal effect. Elevates partitions and facades aesthetically and adds privacy where it's needed.
A tinted anti-shatter film that pairs glass retention with serious solar performance, 43% heat rejection and strong glare control at a deep 6% VLT.
A one-way mirror built for the evening problem: standard mirror film weakens once inside lights outshine the sky. MDN 500 passes just 1.5% of light, so interior visibility after dark stays far more limited than a standard mirror's. Rooms run darker and lean on artificial lighting. Suited to overlooked ground floors, clinics and executive offices.
The high-performance one-way mirror: the daylight side sees a mirror, the darker side sees through. Crystal PET at 80 microns for ground-floor offices, meeting rooms and overlooked homes. Mirror privacy holds while outside stays brighter than inside.
The total mirror: 100% silver, reflective on both faces and scratch-resistant. It turns glass into a solid mirror panel for gyms, studios, retail walls and partitions.
An exterior silver film delivering 79% solar rejection, the strongest continuing line in the Reflectiv external range. Crystal PET at 85 microns, suitable for every glass type including large double-glazed units. Built for west-facing facades under full afternoon sun.
A deep 17% VLT in the sputtered Infusion Pro range for glare-heavy facades. Rejects about 79% of solar energy with 100% UV and near-total infrared control in a neutral, low-reflective finish.
Sputtered-nickel film with a porous structure that dries fast and resists oxidation and hydrolysis. The deepest Infusion tint at 20% VLT for the highest heat rejection with a neutral, low-reflective finish.
A 125-micron tinted film that strengthens glass and rejects heat together. Holds shards in place on impact while cutting 73% of solar energy at a private 15% VLT.
A gold hexagonal lattice drawn on the lattice screens of traditional architecture. Printed on 23-micron PET for partitions and feature glazing that want warmth and rhythm with light passing through.
An embossed static-cling film with a granulated, sandblasted texture you can feel. No adhesive: it grips the glass, repositions and removes cleanly, so it suits rented offices and shops.
An embossed static-cling film with a shattered, broken-glass relief that catches the light. No adhesive, so it repositions and removes cleanly. A dramatic decorative finish for feature glazing and bar fronts.
A full-white frosted film at 80 microns that can be cut and printed for logos, signage and custom privacy patterns. A versatile base for branded glass.
An interior silver-metallized film that rejects 75% of solar energy, strong heat and glare control where the film must go on the inside face. For single, tempered and smaller double-glazed panes.

Day privacy or day-and-night? The survey confirms the finish, the VLT and the right side of the glass for your rooms.
Yes, one-way mirror film. It reflects on the brighter side of the glass, so in daylight the street sees a mirror while you keep your view out. The effect depends on the light balance: it needs to be brighter outside than inside.
It depends on the type. Reflective and dark tinted films rely on daylight; once your lights are on after dark, the balance flips and the room becomes visible, so pair them with curtains at night. Frosted, white matt and opaque mirror films do not depend on light and keep blocking the view around the clock.
Frosted film. It turns the glass translucent, so daylight keeps flowing through while the view is obscured in both directions, day and night. That is why it is the standard choice for bathrooms, partitions and street-facing rooms that cannot afford to go dark.
Most offices use frosted film, either covering the full pane or as a band at seated eye level, so the room reads as discreet without losing daylight or the open feel. Gradient films that fade upward and cut patterns are common where the design should stay light.
For total concealment, opaque mirror and white matt films block the view completely from one or both sides. Among see-through options, our day and night mirror film passes just 1.5% of visible light. The right choice depends on whether you still need a view out, confirmed at a site survey.
The dark and reflective privacy films do both jobs at once: the same coating that hides the room rejects most of the sun's heat, up to 80% of total solar energy on our strongest reflective films. Frosted films are chosen for light and concealment rather than heat, though they still soften glare.
