— FAQs

Solar, heat & energy FAQs.

How film cuts heat, glare and energy bills.

Does window film stop heat?

Yes — solar control film rejects up to 79% of the sun's heat at the glass before it enters the room.

How much heat does window film block?

Our best films reject up to 79% of total solar energy (TSER), depending on the film grade and glass.

Can window film reduce energy bills?

Yes — mainly by cutting summer cooling load, and low-emissivity films also reduce winter heat loss through the glass.

Which film blocks the most heat?

Reflective (mirrored) and premium spectrally-selective ceramic films reject the most heat. We match the strongest film that suits each window's look and orientation.

Will solar film darken the room?

No meaningfully — spectrally-selective films reject heat and UV while transmitting most visible light, so the room stays bright.

Does it help with glare on screens?

Yes — anti-glare solar film cuts the harsh low sun that washes out monitors, without closing the blinds.

Which film is best for a south or west-facing room?

A solar control film — it rejects the heat and glare while keeping the light. West-facing rooms benefit from good glare reduction for the low evening sun.
