Some films have a reflective or tinted appearance that makes them noticeable, while others, like frosted or decorative films, blend seamlessly with the glass.
Solar window tinting involves applying a specialized film to your windows that reduces heat, glare, and UV rays. Benefits include increased comfort, lower energy costs, enhanced privacy, and protection against fading of interior furnishings.
Safety and security films are designed to strengthen glass, making it more resistant to shattering. This added durability helps deter break-ins, reduces the risk of injury from broken glass, and provides protection during natural disasters.

Ghost window film is a subtle, low-reflective tint that provides a sleek appearance without significantly darkening the glass. It’s commonly used in modern architectural designs to maintain natural light while offering glare reduction and UV protection.
