IR Films vs. Traditional Films

Every purchase of window film requires some form of compromise. If you want more light to penetrate your windows, you also will get more heat-gain. If you want Maximum protection against Solar Energy coming into your home or office, you will need a dark and highly reflective film to do the job. These are the facts but many customers are misinformed that they can have Maximum heat rejection and still let in 60-70% of the light. The reason is that the sales rep, in trying to sell his spectrally selective product, discusses IR rejection as if it is the only source of heat gain. In reality IR represents 53% of the total heat-gain coming through window glass. Visible light also brings 44% of the heat as well as all of the glare issues relative to sunny windows.

Spectrally Selective films are great products when you are trying to maintain high visible light levels in a room, or very low change in the appearance of the windows when viewing from the outside, or better visibility out of the window during low-light periods. By being able to also block out 80-90% of the IR radiation, these films provide a good reduction in solar heat gain as well, but they are NOT the best films at reducing solar heat gain. If you look at the TSER, total solar energy rejection, of spectrally selective products with a visible light transmission of at least 50%, you will find that the TSER will most likely be below 60%. Very often a light, traditional film will meet the needs at a much lower cost than the Spectrally Selective films. While these IR films are great technology, they may not be the right film for you. Always closely check the data. Equally important... read the warranty and compare.

In some cases the manufacturer's further skew the information by showing only the most advantageous numbers from their data. One such company bases their claims of efficiency on just one data point when the sun is at a 60 degree angle. NFRC requires all testing to be done at a 90 degree angle, which reduces the actual energy that can be blocked.

We want you to make an informed decision when considering window tinting for your home or office.

Will tinting make my rooms dark?

There are a variety of shades of home window tinting films from clear to room darkening. Obviously, the darker the tint, the less light that will enter the room. The lighter films will still block UV rays by up to 99%, however they often reduce less solar heat. For those that want to reduce solar heat, but do not want a tinted look we offer very light sun control films that will block up to 54% of the sun's heat without changing the look of the windows.

For rooms that are burdened with too much sun, the darker tinted shades may be the better choice. These films will not only reduce the volume of heat coming through the windows, but will also help to control annoying glare. One concern with these films is that the view will be harmed. The truth is, even the darkest films will still allow for clear visibility. Unlike windows with blinds or shades, tinted windows can remain open to enjoy the view while providing a shield from the sun's heat.

Privacy Window Film

We receive calls almost daily asking if we offer films that will allow one to see outside, but block the view from the outside. The short answer is Yes. However, there are few things to consider. Most films will create what we refer to as "daytime privacy". This means during the daylight hours when it is brighter outside than inside, the film will restrict visibility from the outside while allowing for a clear view from the inside.

Unfortunately, at night... this all changes. When it is dark outside and the lights are on inside it will be easy to see in through the windows. This is simply the physics of light. Darkening the glass helps, but you can still see in.

One solution may be a decorative or frosted window film. Visit our website: http://www.tintcolorado.com/ for more information.
