Film families and their trade-offs, at a glance

Qualitative tendencies of typical products in each family — more dots, stronger effect. Exact figures vary with the specific film and your glass: compare the manufacturer specification sheets quoted, not this chart.

Subtle appearance; cuts light and heat evenly.
Solar control — spectrally-selective / ceramicHeat rejection: StrongGlare reduction: ModerateDaytime privacy: MinimalNatural light kept: Strong
Targets infrared heat while staying light; usually the dearer option.
Reflective privacyHeat rejection: StrongGlare reduction: StrongDaytime privacy: StrongNatural light kept: Some
One-way privacy in daylight only — the effect reverses at night with lights on.
FrostedHeat rejection: SomeGlare reduction: SomeDaytime privacy: StrongNatural light kept: Strong
Privacy at all hours, in both directions — occupants lose the view too. Light passes, diffused.
Safety / security — clearHeat rejection: MinimalGlare reduction: MinimalDaytime privacy: MinimalNatural light kept: Strong
Holds broken glass together and slows entry — it does not make glass unbreakable. Combination films add solar properties.
UV / fade reduction — near-clearHeat rejection: MinimalGlare reduction: MinimalDaytime privacy: MinimalNatural light kept: Strong
Blocks most ultraviolet light to slow fading; it is not a heat product.

Scale: – minimal · one dot some · two dots moderate · three dots strong. Film-to-glass compatibility must be assessed before any film is applied — not every film suits every glass.
