Case Study: Privacy Upgrade in Durham
Living in a bungalow right next to a footpath sounds convenient – until you realise how many people can see straight into your home every day. For this homeowner in Durham, that meant keeping blinds or curtains shut from dawn till dusk. The house felt private, yes – but also dark, closed-in and uninviting.
Our solution was Dark Reflective Silver 20 Window Film, installed across 15 m² of glazing. The change was immediate. From the outside, the windows now show a sleek silver mirror finish, reflecting the surroundings and preventing passers-by from seeing in. From inside, however, the customer can still enjoy a clear view out during the day, but with none of the exposure.
Performance highlights
- Daytime privacy: 60% external reflectivity stops unwanted views.
- 79% solar energy rejected: noticeably cooler rooms in summer.
- 83% glare reduction: no more squinting at screens.
- 99% UV block: protects interiors and reduces fading.
- Durable finish: scratch-resistant, non-fade, fire-rated (M1).
- Backed with a 7-year warranty.
The homeowner was delighted. For the first time, they can leave their curtains open all day and enjoy the natural light without compromising their privacy. What was once a daily frustration has now turned into a sleek, practical upgrade that looks as good as it performs.
