Window Film- Buildings
Silver Reflective Film
Silver Reflective Films are the most versatile films and offer great value. They offer fantastic heat reduction and privacy while preventing expensive items inside the building from fading
Advantages:
- High heat reduction.
- The 5% and 15% are great for privacy
- The film reflects heat causing minimal heat absorption on the glass pane reducing the risk of thermal stress and cracking on glass
- Looks good on silver, brown, black and white window frames.
- 99% UV protection will prolong the life of your furniture, floors, curtains, merchandise etc
- Cost effective
Disadvantages:
- Some building complexes do not allow films with reflective / mirror like finishes.
- At night the reflection of the film reverses if the lights in the building are on, creating less privacy.
Nano Ceramic Film (Non Reflective)
Nano Ceramic Films are fantastic heat reduction films that have no reflective / mirror look to them. They allow you to keep your view and natural light while reducing heat. These films absorb heat has the solar rays make contact with the glass pane.
Advantages:
- High heat reduction.
- The Crystal and Heat Shield films allow in the natural light, and you will hardly know that the window has film on it

- If you have PVB glass or laminated safety glass where the edges are not properly polished and therefore could have fine cracks in them, the window could crack from thermal stress when using the Heat Shield film
- The Heat Shield film cannot be fitted on a single window that is larger than 4 SQM due to thermal stress
Metalized Sputter Film
Metalized Films contain microscopic metal particles in the polyester that reflect heat away from the glass without having a strong reflective / mirror like appearance. Because the heat is reflected (and not absorbed) there is a very low risk of thermal stress on the glass pane. The window panes don’t carry as much heat as nano ceramic films which improves the heat reduction even further.
Advantages:
- High heat reduction.
- Allows 50% of the natural light inside the building.
- Can be used on PBV glass and laminated safety glass
- Low mirror / reflective look.

- Low thermal stress no large glass window panes.
Disadvantages:
- More expensive than other reflective films.
- A more cost-effective alternative can be Silver 50
- Has a slight reflective / mirror appearance.
Color Reflective Film

Advantages:
- High heat reduction.
- Good for privacy.
- The Chocolate and charcoal films look great on black, brown and white window frames.
- The film reflects heat causing minimal heat absorption on the glass pane reducing the risk of thermal stress and cracking on glass.
- Great for brand identification or standing out.

Non Reflective 2 Ply film
Non-Reflective (NR) Black films are designed for privacy, glare reduction, safety and protecting building contents from getting damaged from UV rays.
The NR films only reduce 11% of heat though, so if you are looking for a non-reflective heat reduction film then rather look at our Nano Ceramic range.

- During the day the 5%, 15% and 20% films can be used as a 1-way privacy film.
- The 2ply / micron films are very cost effective
Disadvantages:
- Very low heat reduction.
Decorative Film
