Reflective Films – Privacy and Comfort in One
Reflective Films are engineered to reflect sunlight, significantly cutting down heat while also enhancing daytime privacy. From the outside, these windows present a sleek, mirrored look; from the inside, you maintain clear visibility.
Key advantages:
Prevents external visibility during daylight hours
Reflects a substantial amount of solar energy
Ideal for homes with windows facing busy streets or close neighbours
Reflective films are often used in bedrooms, study areas or living rooms where added privacy is a priority. Take note however that this effect only kicks in during day time, during night time, it is possible for outsiders to look into the house/space.
Frosted Films – Privacy with Design Flexibility
Frosted Films scatter light softly while obscuring visibility, making them perfect for spaces where privacy is essential but you don’t want to lose natural brightness. Beyond function, they offer a stylish visual element.
Use them for:

Internal glass partitions
Decorative enhancements with pattern or texture options
At Softhome, we also offer customisation through Plot Cutting, enabling intricate designs, logos or motifs to be embedded into the frosted film.
