Solar energy is made up of Visible Light, UV and Infra-red, all of which can pass easily through glazing. Solar Control Window Film will reflect and absorb this energy. You will notice after installation the amount of solar heat entering through the glass is dramatically reduced. Leaving you a comfortable, controllable environment. VT are sometimes combined in a single measurement called LSG (light to solar gain); higher values mean more light
