Therefore, window film an incredibly powerful all-around solar control product because it blocks infrared rays, which cause heat build-up, acts as a sunscreen for your Dallas home and controls glare.

- Non-reflective and dyed films: mostly absorb solar energy
- Reflective and metalized films: can absorb and reflect solar energy
- nano/ceramic films: use high-tech compounds, molecular and nano-technology for “smart” performance
