Window Tint & Window Perf

[lkt1954]

I have a client that we installed window perf on all his windows and he is not satisfied with how the windows look at night.
He doesn't like how his restaurant windows look at night (they don't stand out like they do during the day).
My thought is installing window tint on the inside of the windows to reduce the interior lighting.

My question will automotive window tint work and any suggestions on what percentage blocking to use?
Windows are 70" x 112"

Thanks
Larry

You should try out Two Way Vision. It is like the opposite of perf. It is a clear vinyl that has white prisms already in the film so you get a fake white point. At night, the film holds whatever light it can so it doesn't disappear like perf does.

Just putting perf on the inside is likely not going to cut it. I sell a fair amount of this stuff. If you can arrange to put some light on the window from the inside then the window will look nearly backlit. Give me a call and I'll talk you through it. You can also get a test roll but they need your Fedex or UPS number.

Thanks for the reply.
I'm asking about using window tint film, not perf on the inside.

Thanks

I've seen samples of this stuff, it's really cool.

Back to this issue.
What can I put on the inside of the windows that will help reduce the interior light shining through the window perf at night??
I've thought of using window tint, to me which should help block out interior lighting and still look good.
I really do not want to have to do the outside of the windows again.
Clients not happy and I am at a loss for alternative solutions.

Well, you could entertain the product that Mark suggested, or go with a translucent window vinyl, or a dusted vinyl on the inside.

This is a great opportunity to get daytime / night time photos so client expectations can be managed in the future by showing them examples.
