One-way Vision Glass Film &#; Detailed Description

Large corporate offices, malls, dealerships, and even retail stores tend to use glass significantly these days. Be it in the form of partitions or huge panels that face the outside of the building, glass is a vital component of the overall look and feel of modern architecture. And this has created a unique demand in the printing industry. 

• People want to be able to look out of the office partition or display window.
• And at the same time, they need to show images of their products or display their corporate philosophy to the people standing on the other side of the glass.
• Additionally, they want privacy &#; to be able restrict visibility into what&#;s happening inside.

One-way vision printed film addresses this demand.

How Does a One-Way Vision Film Work?

A one-way vision film is essentially a vinyl with tiny holes (think of a micro-perforated mesh film).

One Way Vision Film Prints Available At Orchid Digitals

The holes in the film are quite tiny and closely spaced. This doesn&#;t affect the image quality while printing on the film. So, a typical one-way vision film turns out with a printed image on one side, and a black back on the reverse (inside of the window).

Now, the human eye tends to take in a lot of information when in front of a large image. So, when a person is standing on the outside, i.e. the image side of mesh film, their mind only registers the overall image and not the pinholes.

Conversely, with nothing interesting visible, the eye looks for details and incongruities. So, the person standing on the inside faces the black back (non-image side), their eyes focused on gathering details from within the pinholes. This results in the mind registering or seeing what is happening on the other side* of the glass pane. 

One-way dotted film for glass also aids privacy, wherein the customer standing outside looks at the branding on the glass and the person on the inside (non image side) can look through the glass. Hence the name &#;One way vision film for glass&#;. Needless to say, this film opens up immense opportunities for branding and advertisement.

* Note &#; For the effect to work right, it is recommended that light on the image side (outside) be brighter than on the non-image side (inside).

Applications of One-way Vision Film

One-way vision films are a perfect solution to brand:

• Glass partitions in malls, offices, and stores. 
• Building facades
• Vehicle windows

What Are the Benefits of One-way Vision Film?

• Offers Privacy: The ability to see from one side without being seen is a great privacy feature. More so because this privacy doesn&#;t come at the cost of visual appeal, since the film allows for displaying great graphics on the outside. 
• Great for Branding: In addition to providing privacy, one-way vision films for glass provide a great creative asset to showcase your offerings/identity. They convert simple walls of glass into usable spaces to communicate with our visitors and audience. That&#;s unarguably a great real estate vertical when it comes to displaying your brand.
• Changeability: There are times when the branding on glass needs to be changed or updated. Imagine that the product offering you&#;re showcasing has evolved/updated. In such a case, the ability to change the glass film is a boon. This is a cake-walk with our one-way vision film. Just peel the old sticker and paste a new one in its place.

Disclaimer: One-way vision films are not magic &#; they&#;re just an optical illusion. They trick the eyes into registering images in bright light conditions. As such, one-way vision films lose their efficacy at night times when the interiors are lit and the exteriors are dark.

Other Glass Branding Options

While One-way Glass Films offers a great branding space and privacy, there are other options you can choose for your glasses:

• Frosted glass film: As the name suggests, this film gives a smoke/dusky effect to the glass. Vision is restricted from both sides but the film allows natural light to pass through. Used extensively in store and corporate spaces, frosted glass films facilitate privacy and serve as a great branding option. Read more about frosted films here.
• Opaque photo vinyl: This would be your choice when you need to restrict visibility completely on either side. The design is first printed onto a white vinyl, which is then pasted on the glass. As a result, vision is restricted from both sides of the glass partition. Read more about it here.
• Transparent film: Transparent films work well when privacy isn&#;t the objective. In this case, the design is first printed upon the film, which is then pasted on the glass. The film, being entirely transparent, allows people to see through from either side of the glass. Read more about transparent glass film prints here.
• White Ink Prints: UV white ink prints are a relatively new office interior branding concept that allows you to have a glass fim print that is both simultaneously opaque and transparent. You can learn more about white ink prints here.

FAQs | Frequently Asked Questions

Other than one way vision film prints, what other types of glass prints should I be aware of?

There are 4 main types of glass film prints we offer:

Transparent, opaque, frosted and one way vision film prints. Each of these offer a different level of visibility and privacy. Apart from this we also have speciaciality films like white ink prints, reverse pastable films, etc.

What is on the back side of one way vision film prints?

One way vision films have a print on the front surface. On the back, these films are typically grey or black in colour. So the person standing behind the glass panel will get to see a blank black surface with pin holes in the same.

These pin holes will also help him see through to the other side.

What kind of artwork works best for this type of project?

Create your artwork using large images and bold/big text fonts when you need to print your communication on one way vision films. These elements work best with this media. Small text or fine detailing in images sometimes get lost in the meshed surface.

What are two way vision film prints? Do you offer the same?

In my opinion two-way vision films are a marketing scam. They rarely work. And no, we do not offer this product.

If you need visibility for your communication from both sides of the glass partition, consider using transparent film prints.

Are one way vision films reverse pastable?

No. They are not.

Do you have ready designs for me to select?

How do I install a one way vision film print?

You can install one way vision film prints on your own. Just follow the steps listed beneath.

1. Make sure that the base surface is clean and smooth.
2. Spray a film of water on the surface where the job has to be pasted, and also on the adhesive back of the vinyl. This helps to reduce the initial strength of the glue and makes repositioning of the print easy.

After this initial prep, you can start pasting the wallpaper as follows:

1. Gently peel and start pasting glass film/vinyl starting from one corner.
2. Use a squeegee or handkerchief to smoothen the print on the surface.
3. Workout all the air bubbles and also the water to create a form bond between the adhesive and the surface beneath.

Finally,
1. Use a pin to puncture any bubble that may have remained.
2. Leave the print to dry out for a few hours. The glue will now form a strong bond with the substrate beneath.

Follow the above steps and you should be fine.

Perforated window decals are the ultimate solution for those seeking one-way visibility on windows by using a decal or window graphic. As mentioned above, the perforated decal is made up of tiny micropunctures across the entire surface area of the decal. These micropunctures allow for one way visibility even when your decal covers the entire surface area of a window.

This one way visibility will be for store or homeowners looking from the inside to the outside of the store. For customers or patrons approaching the store or window they will see the design printed on the decal but will not be able to see through it. While there may be some ability to see in despite the decal, this is largely dictated by the situation and what is printed. Customers approaching a store front at night and looking into a lit store will be able to see more than during daytime hours. Further, a large decal with a design that features dark colors and covers the majority of the surface area will be much less transparent than a smaller design or lighter colors.

Regardless of the slight variations in visibility, design, and situation custom perforated window decals are an excellent option for storefront advertising that obscures the inside of the store and entices customers to come in while advertising a beautiful graphic!
