Window film is a thin, multi-layered polyester material designed to control various properties of light passing through windows. It manages ultraviolet (UV) rays, heat, glare, and privacy. The film is available in different performance levels and shades to suit various needs.

Window film offers numerous advantages, including protection from UV rays, improved aesthetics, enhanced eye comfort, increased safety, better privacy, and significant energy savings for your property.

Film percentages indicate light transmission, which is the amount of light allowed through the film. A lower percentage corresponds to a darker film, resulting in less light transmission.

For optimal durability, window film is typically installed on the interior surface of the glass in most applications.

Window film reduces energy costs by reflecting sunlight in summer, decreasing air conditioning needs. In winter, certain films provide an insulating effect, retaining up to 33% more heat indoors. This results in year-round energy savings.

Damaged window film cannot be repaired directly. However, the affected section can be removed, and the glass can be retinted with new film to restore its appearance and functionality.
