Sun blocking / UV Films
Overview
Installing Solar Control Window Film involves covering of the windows of the home or cars with an internally applied self-adhesive polyester film in areas as a way of controlling light, reducing glare, sun, UV-Rays and in some cases to create privacy. The special dyes, metals or nano technology within the film, act as a solar energy barrier by either absorbing or reflecting a percentage of the energy from passing through the glass.
It is used as a “retrofit” application for existing glass on automobiles, homes and commercial buildings. Although many cars come with factory-made window tints, some cars come with clear glass and the owners have to engage the services of a professional to help tint their vehicles. In some architectural glasses come tinted but it does not have any of the film benefits except reducing sunlight. But in some cases the glass are LE (Low Emissivity) and this LE coating as well needs to be protected or it may scratch and damage.

Reflective film, which has a mirrored tint, feature reflectance on exteriors for superior reduction in summer cooling costs.
