At Tintfit Window Films, we recently completed a project focused on enhancing privacy for pupils at St John’s Catholic School & Sixth Form College. By installing the Dark Reflective Privacy 20 Window Film, we ensured that the ground floor classrooms benefit from increased confidentiality while maintaining a comfortable learning environment.
This professional-grade film is designed primarily for building applications but can also be installed on various glass types, including vehicles. Its dark mirror silver finish effectively prevents outside visibility during the day, allowing students to see out without compromising their privacy. From the interior, the film presents a dark blue-grey appearance, blending seamlessly with the school’s aesthetics.
In addition to privacy enhancement, the Dark Reflective film offers superior heat rejection and glare reduction. With up to 76% total solar energy rejection and an 80% reduction in solar glare, it provides a conducive environment for focused learning. The mirrored exterior ensures that the classrooms remain private while maximising natural light.
