About Window Tinting

What is Window Tinting, and How Does it Work?

Window tinting is a polyester film applied to the inside or outside of glass. To give it its special properties, the polyester is coated with various metals and chemicals, which are then protected from the elements by extra layers of protective plastic.

There are many reasons why window tinting is beneficial: to prevent glare, reflect solar energy, give privacy, reduce graffiti and vandalism, and improve glass safety.

Window Film Works on Two Principles: 

• To reflect the sun's light and heat back outside

• To absorb the light and heat.

There are two types of window tint technology – non-reflective or dyed films (these films primarily absorb solar energy) and reflective or metalised films (these absorb and reflect solar energy). Hybrid films combine layers of both technologies to be non-reflective AND reflect the sun's energy.

The pdf below explains how window tint is more effective than plain glass at keeping the sun's energy from entering your home, office or vehicle.

Architectural & Eco Solutions

Flat Glass

The modern trend for large glassed areas in homes and commercial buildings looks great. Still, it can result in excessive heat build-up, requiring powerful, power-hungry air conditioners to restore comfort. High light levels also lead to glare, making viewing TV and computer screens difficult. Fitting window tinting film to the inside or outside of your windows is a very effective way to combat these issues and reduce the cost of heating and cooling your property.

The sun's energy also causes the fading of curtains and carpets, reducing their quality of life and appearance. Solabloc's extensive range of window films blocks the most damaging UV affecting your people and furnishings. With window film, you enhance the protection of your living environment and save the planet, too!
