    Can anyone point me to information on using window glazing as a projector screens?
    I could never afford to do it but I would like the information for my dream home design.

    How do you intend to use a window as a projector screen?

    You need a proper screen for a projector whether it is front projection or rear projection, you can't use a piece of glass for it.

    For front projection you can use blackout cloth, plywood painted white, a white wall etc but not glass or a mirror, a mirror reflects too much light and you end up seeing everything in the room reflected on it.

    You can get windows (double glazing) with a film in between it. When you pass a current through this film it goes white. That could be used

    Up to UK £1000 for a door size piece. Yeh I know about them (BTW there clear when powed, frosted unpowered) I was hoping for a better solution like the film I found online but I was wondering about combining it with 1 way glass or what ever.
