What are Spectrally Selective Window Films?

The Ideal Film
On one hand, we want to let all the light in, or as much light as possible, through the window. We want a lot of natural daylight. We do not want a film that is going to darken the room.

On the other hand, we also want to maximize heat and UV rejection while allowing most of the light through. Spectrally Selective Window Films are designed just for that purpose.

What does it do?
So lets take for example if you want to protect your home or business from fading carpets, flooring, artwork, upholstery or merchandise. The majority of that damage is going to come from UV light and also heat. Spectrally Selective Window Film blocks out 99% of the UV and 97% in most cases of the infrared heat. It does not mean it is blocking out 97% of all heat because some heat does travel in the visible light spectrum. We know we are getting a little bit technical, but we do not want to overstate what the films can do. Still, both the heat you feel on your skin (IR heat) and Ultraviolet light are blocked.

Best looking tint out there. Period.
40% more heat rejected than equivalent DR tint. Also Spectrally Selective Window Film offers excellent heat rejection and energy savings with a virtually invisible appearance. They’re made with advanced technologies that single out regions of the solar spectrum resulting in a film that lets in more light than heat.

In Conclusion
Spectrally Selective Window Film gives you the highest performance (UV and IR) and the highest amount of visible light transmittance. That means it allows a lot of light in but blocks a lot of heat and fading concerns. Price wise a Spectrally Selective Window Film will cost quite a bit more than a Reflective or “Dual Reflective” film.

If you want the Spectrally Selective Window Film and are willing to pay a little bit more to have the optimum performance with the least amount of change to the way the glass looks. This is the film for you. So there you have it. Spectrally Selective Window Films are perfect when you want high performance but minimal alterations to the look of the glass.
