What is solar control window film?
Solar control window film is a thin protective layer applied on the windows to reduce solar heat, block UV radiation, and moderate the amount of glare and visible light. Solar control window films are reflective or non-reflective. Reflective films are designed to absorb energy and reject solar energy, whereas non-reflective films are designed to absorb unwanted light and heat.
