Solar Window Film

Get to know solar window films

A solar window film is a thin, transparent layer of material applied to a window's glass surface. It blocks some of the sun's ultraviolet (UV) rays, visible light and infrared (IR) radiation. It reduces furniture and flooring fading and makes your home more comfortable by reducing glare and hot spots.

Solar window films are available in various tints ranging from VLT 2% to VLT 88%, so you can choose the amount of light blocking you want. You can also buy a solar film for windows coated with a metal oxide film, which grants additional UV protection, privacy and energy savings.
