Pilkington Mirropane High Reflective Coated Glass for One-Way Vision
Description
Ideal for surveillance, security and administrative
applications, Pilkington Mirropane is a one-way mirror
that creates a visual barrier between subjects and their
observers, where clear and discreet vision is required.
Performance Data
1. Typical values of Pilkington production are provided.2. Visible data is based on laboratory spectrophotometric measurements weighted by the factors in W5_NFRC_2003.STD in LBNL Window 5.2 software.
Pilkington Mirropane offers an effective means of
providing undetected surveillance and high quality
one-way vision to achieve complete privacy. In order to
maintain privacy in the observing area, the light level
ratio should be at least 8:1 from bright (subject) side to
dark (observer) side.
Design Considerations
l Orientation
Install Pilkington Mirropane with the
reflective surface facing the brightly lit
subject-side.
l Type of lighting
Subject-side lighting should be bright
and evenly distributed over all walls and
furnishings, but should not shine directly
onto the one-way mirror. Observer-side
lighting should be dim with light sources
directed away from the glass.
l Background colors
Subject-side should be decorated light
in color and with shade to create a bright
reflected image. Observer-side decor should
be subdued, non-reflective, dark and
uniform.
l Distances and light levels
On the observer-side, keep people, objects
and light sources at a distance of more than
one foot from the one-way mirror area.
An 8:1 light ratio is recommended, with the
subject-side brightly lit.
l Cleaning
Use standard glass cleaners or mild
detergents. Do not use abrasives, opaque
liquid cleaners, razor blades or acid-based
cleaners.
Pilkington Mirropane is normally only used for
internal applications. In such cases, since neither side
of the mirror will be exposed to the weather, glazing
materials such as common wet or dry strips, plastics or
rubber channels can be used in a suitable frame. The
glass must be installed with the coating on the subject's
side. In such situations, glass on the subject side
appears like a normal mirror and helps to hide the fact
that the glass is used for surveillance purposes. When
used within an insulating glass unit the coating should
face the air space, and the Pilkington Mirropane lite
should be on the observer's side of the air space.
