reflective glass

Surface showing you

Reflective glass is glass with a metallic coating that mirrors light, used in buildings to reduce heat and glare while providing privacy from outside.

The exterior appears mirror-like in daylight, though the effect reverses at night when interior lights are on.

The office tower's reflective glass caught the sunset.
