Anyone have experience with or can recommend A film I can install on a window that will work at
Night as well As during the day? I don’t want anyone to see inside night or day. Most of the ones I’ve seen on Amazon don’t provide privacy at night. I can’t put a Light over the window to enhance reflectivity at night so thats no option. It’s a bathroom window on the side of the house and I don’t want to use a blind or shade again either (if possible).

BR area. Live on the west side, but don’t mind paying someone to make the trip if I can’t do it myself.

Most dual reflective films (exterior mirror appearance) will still allow you to see in from the exterior at night with an interior light on, even if it's layered 5% (stupid, hella dark to where you could barely see out during the day).

Would you consider doing either a frosted film or layer a light shade of dual reflective (such as 35%) with frosted over that?

absolutely. I was just wondering if there is an alternative to a window blind or shade to provide privacy when someone is in the room. If I have to put a blind back up over the window, so be it. And it sounds like even the best reflective film will still allow people to see in, so I guess a blind is my only option.

All of these are based on light intensity. Whichever side has the lower light intensity will be able to see through the window. If you want to stop people from ever seeing in, you'll need to stop yourself from seeing out, so like blinds or an obscured covering (but even that would show silhouettes to the lower light side).

Home depot or Lowe’s have all kinds of privacy film you can pick up and all you have to do is apply it with soap and water

Super easy to do
