Hi guys.

We have a bunch of meeting rooms in our office building and one of our clients requested a one-way-mirror (along with a bunch of tech) to run research groups. It is quite a long contract so we might be going ahead. A research group is where they introduce a product to a bunch of people and then watch them through the one-way-mirror from the adjacent room. The type of room is called a 'viewing room' (lots of results on google).

Anybody knows anything about glass requirements, etc. for such 'mirror'? From what I gather, it is basically about installing a sheet of glass and then putting a film on it? Surely it can't be simple window-glass due to health and safety?

Any advice would be appreciated!

you may well want sound insulation so people in the viewing room can discuss the subjects.

Follow normal Building Regs for internal / partition glazing.

Depending on the situation these rooms are often used for child psychology observations - and children can throw things.
 
Camera and screen would be simpler to install and offer audio as well.
You get bunches of flowers, not rooms or people. :rolleyes:

Yeah, they want that as well. I think they have some association that sets out their requirements that they then pass on to us.

I spoke to a builder today and he wants to know what grade of glass I should be using. I didn't even know that glass had grades! I suppose I need something that would pass health and safety, and at the same time would not let too much noise through.

Cheers,
