Contravision or One Way Vision

Contravision also known as one way vision, also spelt contra vision or contra-vision, is a perforated vinyl used on windows and vehicle rear windows. It can be described as see-through graphic signs, transparent graphic signs or vision control materials.

Contravision has a design or colour on one side that is not visible from the other side, which typically provides a clear, tinted view through the panel. Contra Vision is sometimes referred to as a one-way vision material, though many different vision control options are possible.

Contra vision vinyl allows you to have a clear view outside from the inside whilst only images printed onto the contravision can be viewed from the outside.

Contra Vision converts buildings into spectacular promotions, taking outdoor advertising into new dimensions.

Advantages

An opportunity to apply signage to a window without obscuring the view of those inside.
Wherever Contravision is applied, the retailer and customers maintain a clear view out and daylight in, while the interior also benefits from solar shading.
Contravision eliminates "window clutter" overcoming conventional solid graphics.
Contravision is easy to apply and remove.
Contravision can be digitally or screenprinted
Contravision on windows provides additional security for those inside who can see what is happening outside while those outside see only the signage on the windows.
Contravision signage applied to a window will prevent a heavy object from being thrown through the glass.

Additional Advantages

Reduction of solar heat, glare and UV radiation
Safety of being able to see through glass doors, partitions, etc
