Spectrally Select Solar Film

A unique and special type of solar tint that filters out 40–70% of the heat normally transmitted through insulated window glass, glazing while allowing the majority of visible light to pass through.

Spectrally selective solar tints are optically designed to reflect particular wavelengths (780 nanometers to 1200 nanometers) but remain transparent to others. Such solar tint coatings are commonly used to reflect the infrared (heat) portion of the solar spectrum while admitting a higher portion of visible light. They help create a window with a low U-factor and solar heat gain coefficient but a high visible transmittance.

Spectrally selective coatings can be applied on various types of solar tint to produce "customized" glazing systems capable of either increasing or decreasing solar gains according to the aesthetic and climatic effects desired.

Computer generated simulations have shown that advanced window glazing with spectrally selective solar tints may decrease the electric space cooling requirements of new offices and homes in warm climates by more than 40%.

In addition, spectrally selective films from Solar Control Films reject of 99% of the ultraviolet radiation (UV), thus reducing the fading of your interior furnishings such as carpets, drapes, wood floors, furniture and artwork.
