What is a blackout film?
A blackout film is something that covers glass and windows so that it either blocks out light, UV rays, heat or a view (and sometimes all of these). There are different types of blackout films available on the market from a cling film type product that sticks to glass and windows, plastic sheets that need adhesives and our revolutionary Blockout Goop product that rolls on like a paint and peels off like a plastic.
What are blackout films used for?
Blackout films can be used for range of different applications. Often when a store is undergoing renovations windows or glass doors need to be blacked out so that customers can’t see what’s going on inside.
Privacy on job sites or in office buildings is another reason people may want to reduce the ability for people to see through doors and windows (if you have expensive equipment stored on site or in an office with public facing windows for example).
Reducing light in rooms (home theatres, darkrooms, nightclubs, etc) is another reason people look for a sun and light blocking window film. This helps to ensure that any light from outside sources does not enter rooms or buildings.
How is Blockout Goop different to an opaque film or a frosted film?
Opaque window films are typically somewhat see-through and will allow you to see vaguely what’s going on in the room. This is also the case with frosted films in glass and doors. These types of window films are sometimes used for privacy but won’t block out a room, office or building completely.
Can Blockout Goop be used as a privacy glass film?
Certainly! Our Blockout Goop is the perfect privacy film for glass. It’s easily rolled on and when you don’t need it anymore you simply peel it off like a plastic. It’s the perfect temporary privacy film that blocks out lights, prying eyes and UV.
Does Blockout Goop keep out harmful UV rays?
Yes it does. Blockout Goop has been specifically designed to block out harmful UV rays. This means that Blockout Goop won’t fade or crack in the sun and any items in a room or office that has Blockout Goop on the windows won’t fade or be damaged by the sun.
How is Blockout Goop different to a plastic adhesive film?
Blockout Goop is different to a privacy film for glass windows in that you roll on Blockout Goop like a paint and when it dries and you want to remove it you peel it off like a plastic. This means it’s much easier to apply to windows and glass (if you’ve ever tried to put contact on a book or apply window tinting you will know what we’re talking about!) and will easily fit on glass that is an irregular shape.
