What will a wire or fiberglass screen look like if I spray the outside to get a semi reflective surface for privacy? Will air flow be restricted?

The wire as far as air flow should be fine unless it is very fine. I don't know about privacy. But the fiberglass will turn white. Think of this spray as a white spray paint that reflects light. I sprayed my address number on the curb. During the day the white numbers are apparent and white but at night when cars drive by and flash their headlights it has a reflective white appearance.

It was clear, but... It did not reflect for us at all. We bought it to spray on our white wooden house numbers so you could see them when a cars lights shone on them. You could not tell the difference before and after we sprayed them. Total waste of money

I agree with previous reply. Be sure if painting fence that there's little or no wind..With the house, it's just not effective time-wise... You'd be changing mason jars alot, and it would take at least 2 coats to get good coverage.

I haven't used it outdoors. It comes with tiedows but the stakes are small. I would suggest using some weight on the bottom of the legs. Still a strong wind could potentially damage the frame. The pipes are not made to withstand a lot of pressure. the screen itself could also tear should a strong gust come up. Wouldn't suggest using if winds were over 7-10mph. Great for indoor use and on a fairly calm night outside. I wouldnt risk it.

it has insect screens, not privacy walls. If you're looking for privacy pick a canopy with opaque/solid cloth walls. This canopy offers little privacy.

Not easily! The screen does let a gd amount of airflow through though! And on occasion, when our dogs are having spastic energy and are in/out of the house like crazy dogs, we will drape one side of the screen off to the side ( we have a chair outside that we can set the lower part on). But to slide it like curtains, no, not easily!!

I suppose you could technically apply it to the outside, but it would not last nearly as long, because of the exposure to weather. I have been installing this type of film for over 30 years, and I have never seen anyone install it on the outside of the window.

I did not try doing that. I'm assuming this is a special glass which will not reflect back at the lens or cause any distortion. If this glass is meant to be like a protective cover in front of the projector, just maintain (in my opinion) around 10-12 inches of distance. The lamp cooling fans are in front so you'd like to leave space for efficient air flow.

Yes, but everything is blurred. The weave is somewhat open to allow air to flow through. I have a light beige material, but I think the darker color would limit the viability. I just went outside to see if you could see into the windows at night. Absolutely. Probably not a good choice for privacy.

Hello, The adhesive is on the mirrored surface, so if the film is applied to the exterior of the window, the mirrored surface must be against the glass (and the black coating would be facing out)

I would not recommend that application. Probably the best and least expensive method would be a fiberglass bat (without vapor barrier) covered with drywall. If you do not want to cover the insulation, you might use an XPS (extruded polystyrene) board.

I had the same issue and don't like to use chemicals. I bought a roll of common fiberglass window screen and laid it across the top, used the ring that came with the barrels to hold it down. I haven't seen any problems since then.

Light will come through somewhat, but it is diffuse. This is more of a privacy screen, and light will also show over the top, especially if you have an overhead light.

You can keep your window screened. The vent doesn't go much farther than the window. I love this unit. It's small but cools very well and it's easy to set up.

I am no expert on this, but I believe you would apply the film to the inside part of the windows. I know that's were mine went. I have heard of people installing the film on the outside, but it would seem to have a shorter life time due to the elements.Craig

I have been very pleased with these screens. I am use them in my Arizona condo in a room with a tile floor. If you get water on them it leaves a mark. If you do not brace them with something the will blow over in the wind. I love them because they are an extremely attractive and easy solution for providing privacy and multiple uses in my living room. I personally would not use them outdoors or in a damp area.

I use this outside & it is very visible. Since mine is installed outside, I built a box for it to sit in. I screwed the box to the building & made a plexi glass cover for it. If your handy, I recommend it.

I use this screen as a security monitor. If you are not electrically inclined it should be professionally installed. It requires a transformer not included. When installed it looks good with its included frame. I do not know wheather it is water proof or not, but assum, of the electrical connections are protected from water, it will be.
