Is therea window tint available where the neighbours can't see in at night. We have the normal daytime tint and blinds but I was looking to scrap the blinds but still let the light in during the day. Our neighbours can look straight in the windows if we don't use the blinds. Any suggestions? Thanks, Mal
No, there is nothing except hugely expensive Liquid Crystal windows. All the the tint, including the mirror tint, will show what is inside if you want to see what is outside. You might get automatic blinds that close when the outside is darker. Cheaper than LC
You might consider stained glass. Its pretty sometimes..
Some people in your situation use frosted glass (usually sandblasted but there's a plastic film that mimics this surface and there are several patterned colorless glass types too, such as Glue Chip) which diffuses the light to the point that neighbors can see the motion (of you walking around) but not identify exactly what. It can be rather tantalizing in a bathroom window, though. Sort of like the pixel-blurred parts of nudes on TV news. But for a regular room window where you want to have the daytime view, your best bet is still blinds or shades.

You might try placing outdoor floods on the windows. Some window tinting films on the market are only translucent when no light is available to create a reflection on its surface. Others are not.
This would be cheap and easy to test out and might be a solution for you. Strangely enough, it seems the higher end films are better at this.
I also can recomend "Lumisty" films from
