Window Film Specifications

Window films are generally rated for darkness by the darkness of the film before application to the glass. This means that when applied to the glass, a 30% film may meter at 24%, a 35% film may meter at 28%, a 20% film may meter at 17%, and a 5% film may meter at 4%. The graphs below are based off of the darkness of the window after the film’s application.

Heat rejection specifications

Total Solar Energy Rejected (TSER) is the percentage of total solar energy rejected by glass with film applied. The higher the number, the less solar heat is transmitted through the glass.

 

24%-28% Window Film Heat Rejection (TSER)


15%-18% Window Film Heat Rejection (TSER)


4%-6% Window Film Heat Rejection (TSER)


Ultraviolet Radiation Blocked

Ultraviolet Radiation is the principal cause of interior fading. UV light contributes to sunburn and other skin conditions. All of our window films block 99% of the Ultraviolet Radiation coming through the glass.

Infrared Energy Rejection (IRER)

Infrared Radiation is the primary cause of heat coming through your vehicles windows. Ceramic window films have been designed to reject as much Infrared Radiation possible. The darkness of a ceramic window film affects this Infrared Radiation rejection very little, meaning that lighter ceramic films perform almost as well as darker ceramic films. IRER takes into account the transmitted and absorbed Infrared Radiation energy that will be reradiated into a vehicle. Traditional and Premium Traditional window films are not designed with Infrared Radiation in mind, so they are not tested for an IRER number.
