Studio Window Privacy Film #112

Open nelsonic opened 4 years ago

nelsonic commented 4 years ago

At present the "Studio" (aka "Media Room") window is transparent and visible from the street. This is fine while there are not that many items of value in the room, but our plan is to have 3

Measurements 91cm x 24.5cm (glass surface)

This is the highest rated (UK-based) supplier on ebay: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Mirror-Reflective-One-Way-Privacy-Window-Film-Sticky-Back-Glass-Tint/152411213132 image (I use ebay for these kinds of purchases because buyer protection is good and OLX search is useless)

It's quite considerably cheaper to order it directly from China but it will probably take a lot longer to be delivered and might not be delivered at all ... 💭 https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Reflective-Window-Tint-One-Way-Film-Glass-Privacy-Solar-Tint-Self-Adhesive/223582844582 image

This might be relevant for the leisure room which will also have nice things (games, music & cinema) ... but at least the leisure room windows aren't visible from the street. 💭

Obviously, as with every "commodity" type product, ordering in bulk is a lot cheaper per square meter. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/One-Way-Mirror-Glass-Film-Window-Sticker-Solar-Tint-Insulate-Reflect-Privacy-UK/392418453202 image

I think I'm going to place an order from China (relatively low risk) And then when we know how many windows we want to cover, we can place a bulk order.

Given that this is not a burning priority, I'm "OK" with delivery taking a bit longer. Estimated delivery: 5 Feb – 24 Mar ⏳ image image Order placed. Will update when it arrives. 👍

@nelsonic We need this for the upstairs bathrooms as well. Please add to your order.

@iteles agree we need to open a separate issue for the upstairs bathroom windows where we measure area that needs to be covered. 👍 I was thinking we could test the film in a low-risk place (downstairs) before expanding to the upstairs bathrooms.
