How Much Heat Will Window Film Block?

Clear View Window Tinting offers a wide range of heat reducing sun control window films. These optically clear films will reduce solar heat entering your windows by up to 75%. There are a variety of shades and performances. Typically, the darker films will perform better than the lighter.


How much heat is reduced is up to you. Here are a few examples of what to expect.

  • Century 60: 37% TSER       Very light
  • Optivision 35: 48% TSER   Slightly Tinted
  • Optivision 25: 57% TSER   Medium Tinted
  • Optivison 15: 67% TSER    Dark Tinted
  • Optivision 5: 75% TSER     Super Dark
(TSER: Total Solar Energy Rejected)

The exception to the rule is our Geo Shield IRis 70. This almost invisible film will reduce solar heat by up to 54% without a dark or tinted look. This unique film also blocks UV by 99%.

By reducing the volume of heat entering your windows your rooms will remain more comfortable and easier to cool. Many homeowners notice a reduction in their cooling costs. How much heat in degrees is difficult to determine as it is based on the time of day, the angle of your windows to the sun and several other factors. Either way, you'll stay cooler with Clear View Window Tinting.

Will window film effect my cell phone reception?

The short answer to this is NO. Although most window films, including "ceramic films" or "IR films" contain some form of metal. There is no evidence to suggest they block any signal at all. To provide a better understanding as to how much metal is used in window film imagine this.... If you were to paint the roof of a six story building. The paint would equate to the metal and the building the film. As you can see, there is an extremely small amount of metal. Not enough to disrupt a cellular signal. Another example would be to think about all of the times your cell phone worked in rooms where there were no windows at all.
Point is, your windows are not the only source of signal.


 This is a myth that originates from auto glass tinting. When auto tint was introduced with metal it was found to interfere with radio reception. But, only a few vechicles in which the antenna is in the rear window glass. Funny how information can get distorted over time.
