Questions & Answers

If someone looked at this with a flashlight from the outside, would they be able to see in?

Answer This Question

Greetings! I appreciate your inquiry! The Gila Mirror Privacy Window Film provides superior daytime privacy. However, it does not offer nighttime privacy. When it is dark outside and lights are on inside, the film no longer conceals views, meaning someone looking in with a flashlight would likely be able to see inside. For nighttime privacy, products like frosted, rice paper, or decorative films are recommended as they obstruct the view and filter light.

    Which product will give me daytime privacy but will let in the most amount of ligit possible? Im only interested in privacy, not light reduction.

    Answer This Question

    Hello Stevie, our Heat Control Light product has the highest visual light transmittance, so it is "lighter" than our other reflective films. Our reflective films offer privacy during the day as they reflect solar light. We also have a Frosted film that filters light that is not as dark as the reflective films. However, it is frosted 24/7 and you cannot see through it.

      My TV faces the windows. Will this prevent glare from the light coming in? Will you be able to see the TV show from the outside?

      Answer This Question

      Hello, our Privacy Mirror film is one of our darker films so this blocks up to 82% of the Sun's glare. This should be a good fit for your application. It also will block up to 99% of UV rays.

        Can this be used on mirrored closet doors?

        Answer This Question

        Hello, if the objective is to mute the reflectivity of the closet doors then yes, this product would work and would apply to the mirror closet doors as long as the glass is flat and not warped.

          Can it be installed on double pane windows?
          BySep 3, 2025
          1 Answer | 
          Answer This Question

          Hi Stan, due to the heat absorption with this film we do not recommend this product for dual pane windows unless you install it on the exterior side of the glass. This is a vinyl film so it will weather much faster outdoors.

            Hi Steve, we do not recommend any of our product for Acrylic or Lexan type products as they are designed for glass.

              To have complete privacy at night and during day. Can I apply the reflective film and then apply a second layer of the rice paper on top of it?

              Answer This Question

              Hi Chris, we do not recommend stacking films as the heat transfer properties can interfere with the adhesion of the film to the glass. This could create air bubbles under the film and would cause the films to unmount.

                  Works great- when the roll isn’t flawed- corners are challenging
                  Defective roll - at 36 inches and 24 inches a ripple on the entire roll - I’ve used this product on 15 windows a couple years ago- needed a new roll to cover more and after hanging the product saw a ripple across the window - I can’t avoid it due to measurements of the window. Will have to return - sigh

                    Does the Job but Tricky
                    It's definitely a mirror film! Can be tricky if you're not careful. Has a tendency to roll back into itself getting stuck, so I'd advise sticking some on the window first then taking the film off. The more soapy water you use the better too. For night privacy you can use bright exterior lights to shine near the window film.

                      Yes and No don’t do it by yourself
                      I thought this is going to be easy just like putting a screen protector on my iPad or my cell phone. This literally took me three tries and that’s all I had enough for. It’s hard getting the bubbles out and if you mess up and it looks really bad. You can see it from the outside. I would suggest you doing this with a second person. I do like the fact, but it’s gonna be very hard for me not to get all the bubbles out of it

                          Excellent product, it provides the protection from the sun as we wanted. Very important to wet film and window a lot to prevent sticking too prematurely, otherwise, simple to instal

                            Both items had been previously returned by another customer and apparently the customer service desk didn’t review the boxes before accepting them. Both had been cut and ruined and I will now need to return them for a refund. I wish your customer service desk would review returns before placing them back in stock.

                            Not for privacy
                            Easy to install and trim. This should not be labeled privacy though. Picture was taken at night, could see everything. Daytime, works ok.
