<p class="MsoNormal">In 2017 we enclosed two outside exhibit spaces that display some of our larger transportation artifacts and mining equipment. Last year we installed large photo murals which provide a backdrop/context for the displays. The spaces are lit
at night and are quite impactful. Unfortunately we did not use non- glare glass in the many large windows of the enclosures. During the day (especially in the summer) it is difficult to see into the displays from a distance due to the reflections on the
glass. ( Images attached) <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I was hoping that someone could recommend a film that could be applied to our existing windows to cut down on the reflections. Most of the products advertised online highlight the their ability to filter UV and to prevent people
from seeing into an office space, but we essentially want the reverse. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I have a quote through a local supplier and we will test it’s effectiveness by just doing one window, but I am not overly confident of the results.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">If anyone else has encountered a similar problem and can make recommendations I would appreciate hearing from you.
