I note from your photos that the wagon wheels are easily seen because they are getting more light that the other display material farther into the room.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">I am not aware of any window film that would resolve this problem without causing other undesirable issues.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">One solution is of course increasing the light level on your displays; but that would mean costs [capital and operating] and perhaps conservation issues.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Another approach is to provide a light baffle, outside, a couple of meters tall and several meters away. Done properly, any reflection of the baffle would be dark, allowing the glass to be transmissive of the light from inside. One way of doing this would be a solid hedge of plantings. Another would be to construct a covered walkway [pergola] with solid or semi-solid baffles [trellises].</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">So, there are different ways to deal with your stated problem but I don’t think any window film or non-glare glass would be part of your solution. </div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Hope this helps and sorry for the pedantry.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Cheers;</div><div class="">Chris</div><div class=""><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span></div><div class=""><div class="">
