We also considered that option, but quickly dismissed it because the reflective coating (like on mirrored sunglasses) absorbs a significant amount of light, and having bright rooms was more important to us.

Thanks in advance for your replies!
We are building in a commercial area, right next to our company headquarters.
The living spaces face the street or the company’s driveway.
We don’t really want employees to be able to look directly inside when, for example, we are sitting at the coffee table.
So far, one window manufacturer advised against it. He said it wouldn’t help much because the reflective coating becomes ineffective as soon as the interior lights are on.
That’s understandable. But in summer, it stays light for a long time, so the lights are usually turned on later. And in winter, I usually lower the shutters fairly early.
Another window manufacturer said it could definitely be done without concerns and that it wouldn’t make the rooms significantly darker.
Therefore, it would be great if someone has installed this and could share whether they are satisfied with it.

Hi,
although I'm not at home, I’m currently at work in a building with mirrored glass. The glass is so heavily mirrored that you really cannot see inside during the day. Yes, it does reduce some light, but not much. We still need vertical blinds when there is direct sunlight.
I can’t give you a direct comparison because we don’t have any windows that open here.
However, I think the look would take some getting used to for a residential house—the glass is dark brown mirrored, very much an 80s style...
Best regards,
Andreas
