Window films vary in finish, light transparency, color and reflectivity. There are two types of finishes. The first is a "glossy" finish which allows one to see through to the other side. The second is a "matted or frosted" finish which distorts light and does not allow one to see clear images on the other side. Additionally all films have varying levels of darkness to fit your specific need. Some films are so light you can't tell they're even there but they still block out 99.9%of the sun's harmful UV rays. Other films are opaque and will not let any light in; perfect for those who sleep during the day. Window films come in many different levels of light transparency, or to explain further, these films are rated by percentage of light that actually pass through the film. These percentages range from: Clear, 65%, 50%, 40%, 20%, 5% and 0% also known as opaque. Window films come in several colors including brown, bronze, gray, silver, green, blue, yellow, red, black. Window films vary in reflectivity, some are shiny and reflect the light off of the glass to lower glass temperature while others are non reflective. Graphic films consist of films that have frosted patterns or may even look like blinds. Security films are thicker and will add strength to the glass making the window more resistant to breakage.
