Our most popular solar films for residential applications that offer superior heat rejection, maximum uv protection and provide infrared protection are premium dual reflective films. They offer increased privacy while maintaining views from the interior. It creates privacy from the outside during the day and not at night with the lights on. Night time privacy in only possible with an opaque film such as white frost. This film is superior to traditional reflective films as there is no dye in the tint due to its metal on metal construction. Standard reflective films will fade over time and will not be rated to provide infrared rejection. Dual Reflective films offers higher heat rejection and better protection compared to other reflective films. We also have neutral films that are non reflective.
If you’re looking for a clear CERAMIC window film with little to no color we offer a wide selection of products. Free of dye or metal, these films provide a neutral, non-reflective view while keeping out the heat and harmful UV rays. The ceramic films do not obstruct your view from inside or outside while allowing the natural light to enter. They will not darken the glass as much as the dual reflective films and will not provide as privacy during the day. Other common residential films we install are decorative frost for bathroom windows and security films for safety.
