Designer Reflective Window Films
“Designer Reflective” window film is a combination of reflective and non-reflective window films. This manufacturing technique is a “sandwich” style construction which incorporates a reflective film laminated with a non reflective on each side of the reflective surface. This is known as a three ply film and the reason window film manufacturers manufacture this product is because the metal of the film is hidden between two non reflective films, creating a dual see through film.
At night one can still see to a limited degree, outside, whereas a conventional reflective film creates an absolute mirror appearance. Obviously when manufacturing this product, it has a higher cost factor as it utilises three films in one.
The benefits of these products are listed below:
- It has a pleasing neutral appearance with a warm tone once applied to clear glass.
- It has a low interior reflectivity whereby leaving your view unaltered.
- It offers significant glare reduction.
- It has high solar performance, ideal for areas with excessive heat problems.
- It creates a more comfortable office and working environment.
- It blocks a large portion of the sun’s glare and is available in three densities, blocking up to 85% of the glare and 75% of the solar energy. It blocks over 99% of the sun’s damaging ultra violet rays, keeping carpets, upholstery and other window treatments looking like new.
- These products are now available from Klingshield in a pressure sensitive adhesion.
