What are solar films?
Solar films, also known as window films or window tints, are thin sheets of material applied to the interior or exterior surfaces of glass windows. These films are designed to reflect, absorb, or transmit solar energy, thereby controlling the amount of heat, light, and harmful ultraviolet (UV) radiation that enters a building. Made from various materials, including polyester and metalized coatings, solar films can come in different shades and thicknesses, catering to a variety of preferences and requirements.

The primary function of solar films is to enhance energy efficiency in residential and commercial spaces. By reducing the amount of heat that penetrates through windows, they can significantly lower cooling costs, especially in a tropical climate like Singapore’s. Additionally, solar films can improve the comfort level indoors by minimizing glare from the sun, making it easier to work or relax without straining the eyes.
