Is there any window film that actually works at reinforcing the glass and on top of it blocks the view from outside while still allowing sunshine to come in and a clear view from the inside?

afaik 'privacy' film works inversely at night - you can see in when the room itself is lit. Electric glass - goes opaque when curent - works, but shit is expensive, may not what you looking for. Film may also prevent pieces when shattered, but its not really gonna make the glass tougher.

Thanks, primarily I'm looking to reinforce the window but the added privacy would be nice. The opaque glass is crazy expensive but would be amazing.

I'm unfamilar with the full variety of them, but you'd probably have to find a product for both that only needs to be applied on one side, and them do an interior/exterior combination of them. Like anti-break outside, privacy inside. All the anti-break I'm familar with require both sides, but dig into what's out there. And as the other anon said, you'll probably also need a privacy window screen, because most privacy film applications are meant for daytime effect only. All of this may still wind up being cheaper than the electrically activated "frost" effect.

Privacy film is not a replacement for blinds. You raise the blinds in the day and lower them at night. If you still want to see out and maintain privacy you need to have a bright light over the window.

>you can see in when the room itself is lit



You mean...like you can with a normal window?

you cant 'see in' a normal window with privacy film attached, you fucking window licker. Which kind of is the point of it. Problem being, its mostly for offices and shit, not really resedential, as the effect is reversed when the room is lit from inside at night. Maybe someones solved this since, idk - opaque electric glass with privacy film inside and anti-break outside, should have OP covered then

Clarify.

The solution is called having a thick courtain or blinds, like any other normal window with thin courtains

3M brand 10mm safety film will not stop the glass from breaking, but if properly installed it will dampen explosions, it will stop small caliber bullets, it will take 15-20 minutes to get through with a sledge hammer, etc.



They use it for Federal buildings post 9/11, they also use it in Humvee's deployed to warzones.. It has stopped ak-47 rounds from penetrating the glass, but it is all about the quality of the installation and there is no NIJ safety standard like with kevlar since all glass and installation is slightly different.
