What is window film?

Window film is a laminate of strong polyester and/or metalized coatings bonded by adhesives. There is a scratch resistant coating on one side, and a mounting adhesive layer and a protective release liner on the other side. When the release liner is removed, the side of the film with the adhesive is applied to the interior surface of the glass.

How do window films work?

The amount of heat and light rejected is all dependent on the type of window film selected.
