- Solar rays can cause irritating glare that blinds, shades and shutters may reduce.
However, these options limit home and building owners opportunities to enjoy outside
views. Draperies and blinds are functional and common, but they can also be
damaged by the sun's rays. Ultraviolet (UV) rays can help owners save draperies,
shutters and blinds from discoloration. Most solar film can absorb up to 99.8% of UV
light that causes fabrics, furnishings, floor coverings and artwork to fade.
- Film is usually applied to the interior of glass. When the treated glass is exposed to
harmful UV rays, light and infrared heat, the film can block up to 88% of those heat
sources from transferring through the glass and into interior space.
Solar film is available in a variety of shades. Today, less reflective and less darkened
films are available on the market. Nanoceramic technology has provided the window
film industry a higher visible light transmittance than traditional solar window film that
may be metalized. The agents that make up the ceramic film work just as efficiently as
traditional film and can provide comparable heat gain reduction and UV protection.
A great difference is the aesthetics of ceramic film. Because it is less reflective than
traditional film , it may also providing a better optimal view than clear glass.
