Considerations

Light Ratio
A light ratio of 1:7 is recommended, where the subject side is brightly illuminated and the observer side is dimly lit.

Installation
Exposed edges must be protected from moisture ingress. Bright lighting sources must be avoided in the observers area and spotlights directed away from the Observa surface. We recommend using dark furnishing colours and that dark clothing be worn in the observation area. The reflective surface must be installed to the subject side.


Glass Processing
Cannot be toughened or heat strengthened.

Glazing
Glazing should be in accordance with the Australian Standard AS1288-2021, New Zealand Standard NZS4223 and Oceania Glass' recommendations for laminated glass.

Application
Not suitable for exterior windows.
