All About Window Film, Solar Film and Safety Film
Here we have gathered information about everything you might want to know when planning to buy window film, solar film, or protective film for your home.
Window film is a thin plastic film applied to glass surfaces to provide various functions, such as privacy, protection against fading or glare. It can also enhance security by preventing glass from shattering or causing injury.
What is Solar Film for Windows?
Solar film is a thin tinted film applied to windows to reduce the impact of sunlight—especially heat, glare, fading, visibility, and UV radiation. It helps lower indoor temperatures, enhances comfort, and protects interiors.
What is Mirror Film for Windows?
Mirror film (also known as one-way mirror film or reflective window film) creates a mirror-like surface on one side of the glass—offering daytime privacy while still allowing visibility from the inside out.
Safety film (also called security film or protective film) for homes is a transparent plastic film applied to window glass to prevent it from shattering and spreading if broken—e.g., during burglaries or accidents. When glass breaks, the film holds the fragments together.
Protective film is a thin, transparent plastic film that can be applied to various surfaces in the home to protect against scratches, graffiti, or vandalism. The film can be easily removed and replaced, reducing damage to property and preserving aesthetics.
What is Pressure-Activated Adhesive?
Pressure-Sensitive Adhesive (PSA) is a type of non-reactive adhesive that forms a bond when pressure is applied to adhere it to a surface. No solvent, water, or heat is required to activate the adhesive—only pressure.
What is Harmful UV Light?
UV light is commonly found in sunlight and is responsible for sunburn and other forms of skin damage. UV light, or ultraviolet light, is a type of electromagnetic radiation with a wavelength shorter than visible light but longer than X-rays.
What is Harmful IR Radiation?
IR radiation stands for infrared radiation, and is a form of electromagnetic radiation—just like visible light, UV radiation, or radio waves. Prolonged exposure to IR radiation can cause burns and damage to the skin and eyes, similar to the effects of sun exposure.
