• High Light, Low Heat: Uses spectrally selective technology to block heat (IR) while letting in natural light, unlike traditional dark tints.

• Fade Protection: Blocks >99% of harmful UV rays and significantly reduces solar heat, protecting furniture, flooring, and artwork from fading.

• Glare Reduction: Cuts down glare by 45%, making it excellent for offices with computer screens or living rooms with televisions.

• Neutral Aesthetics: Provides a soft, neutral appearance that does not drastically alter the external look of the building or create a "mirror" effect at night.

• Energy Efficiency: Reduces cooling costs by rejecting up to 57% of total solar energy.

• Residential Living Areas: Perfect for living rooms and kitchens where homeowners want to keep their view and natural light but reduce afternoon heat.

• Commercial Offices: Ideal for glass facades to improve occupant comfort and reduce air conditioning load without requiring artificial lighting during the day.

• Retail Storefronts: Protects merchandise from sun damage (fading) while allowing customers to clearly see inside.

• Heritage Buildings: The neutral appearance respects the original architecture while upgrading the glass performance.

• Clean: Thoroughly clean the interior glass surface using a solution of water and a small amount of baby shampoo (or professional slip solution). Scrape off any debris with a glass scraper.

• Cut: Measure and cut the film to the window size, leaving a small excess (1 inch) on all sides.

• Spray: Generously spray the glass and the adhesive side of the film with the slip solution.

• Apply: Place the film onto the wet glass. The solution allows you to slide the film into the perfect position.

• Squeegee: Spray the face of the film to prevent scratching, then use a squeegee to push the water and air bubbles out from the center toward the edges.

• Trim: Use a hard card and a sharp knife to trim the excess film along the edges of the frame, leaving a 1/8" gap for thermal expansion.

• Dry: Allow the film to cure. Full adhesion typically occurs within 30 days.
