The “OFF” state (unpowered state) of the film is opaque, so if you lose power, the film will immediately turn opaque, and your privacy is protected. Power must be present to turn the film clear (ie, “ON” state).

Yes, when the film is in the “OFF” state, it will turn opaque and it is not possible to see any detail through it, unless the object is within just 20-30mm from the window. Daytime privacy will generally be close to 100%. Depending on your room layout, it might be possible to see shadows inside the room at night, but no details are visible, and your privacy is maintained.

When the film is “ON” (clear), you will get around 90% of the light transmission achieved with no film. When the film turns “OFF” (opaque), there will be around 50% light transmission into your room, which will appear like an even soft glow.

Yes, aside from white, which is our most popular colour, there is also grey and black film. When these are “ON”, they do not turn clear like the white film, but will allow you to see out and in through a grey or charcoal transparent layer, somewhat like tinting. When these films are opaque (“OFF”), they allow much less light into the room than white film and will provide much more light blocking into the room during daytime.

No, the output from a transformer can be shared across multiple films. Each transformer comes in a range of power ratings, which correlate with a maximum m² of film. The smallest transformer might be suitable for just 4 or 6m², but there are versions that can power up to 54m² of films, all sharing the same transformer. The only thing to keep in mind is that a shared transformer means all the connected films will always be controlled as a single group, not individually switchable.

Installing PRIVASEE film is a snap! Thoroughly clean the inside of glass using a scraper or razor to remove any bumps or sticky residue, then clean down with a good quality glass cleaner and lint-free cloth. After that is done, spray the inside of the window liberally using water with a few drops of detergent. Start to peel the protective coating from the top edge of the film and attach around 100mm of film to the top of the glass. Using your hands and a squeegee, slowly work your way down the film pressing it against the glass, removing the rest of the protective coating as you go. Once the film is fully in place, spray the film liberally with a mix of water and few drops of detergent, then use the squeegee to push remaining trapped air bubbles to the side and bottom.

No, PRIVASEE film is only suitable for fitting indoors and cannot be used on the outside face of windows.
