    Thanks

    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.

    It worked great during heat wave.

How to Guide

When installing window film, patience and preparation will serve you well.

First Steps:

Preparing the glass is a vital part of the process. In a spray bottle, mix clean water with a few droplets of washing ups liquid. Spray the glass and thoroughly clean it, paying close attention to the edges. If there are any specks of dirt or paint, use a small scraper to remove them.

The Film:

Unless your film has been pre-cut to the exact glass size, measure your glass at the top and bottom to ensure accuracy. Lay your film flat and cut it to your required size. If you prefer you can cut the film over size and trim on the glass.

The principles of handling film are the much the same no matter what kind of film you are using. Once you are happy with the size of your piece of film, lay it on a clean surface and slowly remove the clear liner. Get someone to help you if it makes it easier.

Spray the adhesive surface of the film and the glass window surface with more of your soap mix then hang the film to the glass. The two wetted surfaces will not immediately stick and some adjustment is possible.

Squeegee:

Once you are happy with the positioning of your film, liberally spray the surface of the film. This will act as a lubricant for your squeegee or felt edged tool.

Starting in the centre at the top edge and using firm pressure, push the water out from behind the film towards the side edge, then repeat in the opposite direction. Then from the centre of the top edge push the water down towards the bottom edge so you have a ’T’. Your film should now be securely in place.

If you are applying a solar or safety film, apply as much pressure as possible to remove the water. You may need a specialist squeegee for this process.

Starting at the top and working down to the bottom, push all the water out towards the edges. Repeat on the other side.

Run a credit card and a sharp craft knife down each edge and across the bottom to trim off any excess film. The thickness of the card will allow for a small gap for any excess liquid to be squeegee’d out. Once the film has been trimmed, wet the surface and run the squeegee over again using the same technique as before.

Final Checks:

After the film has been applied, dry every edge and the surface with a paper towel. Be thorough and careful, especially in the corners. Make sure all the water, or as much as possible, has been removed from behind the film.

Check your installation from both sides of the glass. Often something will not reveal itself unless viewed from a different perspective, especially with reflective films.

If you notice small bubbles that start to appear after all the water seemed to have gone, this is perfectly natural and part of a ‘curing process’.

Finally, stand back and admire your work. We would love to see how you did, tag us in your post on social media at @Lustaluxathome.

After Care

Visit our dedicated After Care Instructions page for details.

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.
