When high-level solar control and strong light reflection are top priorities, our 80% mirrored one way window film offers the ideal balance of function and appearance. Specifically engineered to reject up to 80% of solar energy, this advanced reflective film provides excellent heat control, a strong mirrored finish, and a sharper one-way effect than standard mirrored films.
We supply this film to both commercial and residential customers across the UK who need more than just privacy – they need a solution that performs in full sun conditions, improves energy efficiency, and enhances the look of their glazing. Whether you’re dealing with conservatories that overheat, offices with excessive glare, or street-facing windows, this high-performance film delivers on all fronts.
What Makes This 80% Reflective Film Different?
This product stands apart from standard mirrored films thanks to its higher reflectivity and greater solar rejection. While all mirror-effect films work on the principle of light balance, this particular grade features a more intense metallic layer that delivers a more defined mirrored appearance on the outside, especially useful in environments exposed to strong, direct sunlight.
It’s especially suited for south-facing windows, fully glazed buildings, and properties where overheating and glare are persistent issues. While the reflective finish delivers a modern, uniform aesthetic, it’s the technical performance that makes this product a preferred choice for commercial buildings and energy-conscious homeowners alike.
Key Advantages of 80% Mirrored Film
Exceptional Heat Rejection
This film offers up to 80% solar energy rejection, making it one of the most effective window films available for reducing solar gain. If you’re struggling with rooms becoming uncomfortably hot in summer, this film will noticeably reduce heat build-up, helping to maintain a more balanced internal temperature and cut down on cooling costs.
Strong One-Way Mirror Effect
Thanks to its darker internal tint and higher outside reflectivity, the film enhances the daytime one-way mirror effect even in brighter settings. The mirrored surface on the outside significantly limits visibility into the room, while the view from inside remains largely unaffected. It’s ideal for use in reception areas, shopfronts, and any glazing that needs stronger performance than standard reflective films can offer.
Maximum Glare Reduction
With up to 80% glare reduction, this film is particularly useful in office environments, display windows, and homes with large, unshaded windows. It helps reduce eye strain, screen glare, and the discomfort caused by harsh natural light, making it easier to work or relax in naturally lit rooms.
UV Protection for Interiors
Like all our high-quality window films, this 80% mirrored version blocks up to 99% of UV rays, offering essential protection for soft furnishings, flooring, artwork, and displays. This helps extend the life of your interior and maintain its appearance, especially in sun-exposed spaces.
Ideal for Challenging Environments
This film is designed for settings where performance matters as much as aesthetics. It’s particularly effective in:
- Commercial properties and office blocks with large, south- or west-facing glazing
- Retail premises requiring sun protection for products and displays
- Conservatories and garden rooms prone to overheating
- Glazed extensions and modern architectural designs
- School or healthcare buildings with large windows
Thanks to its stronger reflective properties, this film is often chosen when standard mirrored films do not offer enough light control or heat reduction.

FAQs – 80% Mirrored One Way Film
Is this film suitable for home use?
Yes, especially in conservatories, garden rooms, and sun-facing living areas. The high reflectivity helps keep temperatures down while reducing glare, even in strong sunlight.
Can this film be used on double glazing?
It can be used on many types of double-glazed units, but it’s important to confirm compatibility first. Films with strong solar control can occasionally cause thermal stress on certain types of glass.
How does this differ from standard mirrored film?
This film has a darker internal tint and stronger reflectivity, which results in greater heat rejection, better glare reduction, and a sharper one-way effect – especially important for commercial or south-facing applications.
Does it work at night?
As with all reflective films, the one-way effect depends on light balance. At night, if lights are on inside and it’s dark outside, the effect reverses. For full night-time privacy, we recommend using blinds or curtains.
How long does it last?
When applied correctly to internal glazing, this film offers a service life of around 7–10 years, with little maintenance required apart from occasional cleaning.

I wasn’t going to leave a review but after the last few days I wanted to rave about this product. Last year we really suffered in our small office with the heat. No amount of fans aided this. We found Lustalux and decided to give the reflection film a go and we are so glad we did. The heat wave this week was a big worry but I cannot compliment it enough. We still needed the fans but with the film it made it very comfortable indeed. I wish I had known about this and bought this years ago.

Brilliant service and product. Didn’t crease like the cheaper mirrored privacy film that I’ve used before.
