The electromagnetic waves projected by the sun pass through the transparent glass surfaces by radiation, transforming into infrared (heat). This energy leads to a rapid and significant increase in temperature inside the building, which struggles to escape due to the high efficiency of modern insulating glass units (double and triple glazing). The temperature in a room directly exposed to sunlight through windows rises by several degrees in a short time, often making it essential to use a cooling system, which is not always an economical or eco-friendly solution.
Solar Control Films for Glass
Why Choose Solar Control Films for Glass?
From March to October, the impact of solar rays through the windows of homes, offices, schools, and hospitals creates an uncomfortable indoor climate due to the greenhouse effect:
What Are the Benefits of Solar Control Films for Glass?
Energy
Savings
You can save 30% to 50% on your electric bill without removing the glass from the frames. These films have an expected lifespan of over 15 years, with no need to modify your cooling system.
Investment
Amortization
The significant reduction of summer energy load through windows allows the entire installation cost of the films to be amortized within 3 to 5 years. For skylights, the ROI is less than 3 years.
Glare
Reduction
Depending on the characteristics of your building, the type and size of your windows, our consultants can recommend the appropriate films with light, medium, or high anti-glare effects.
Reduction of color shifting
Objects, wall finishes, floors, carpets, artwork, and products displayed in shop windows are subject to “color fading.” Anti-IR and Anti-UV films preserve them over time.

Types of Solar Control Films for Glass
Sputtered Films
These are state-of-the-art solar control films for glass. The “sputtering” process allows a denser layer of various precious metals (bronze, titanium, gold, etc.) to be applied to the film with reduced mirror effect and high light transmission. This film provides warm and relaxing light temperature.
Neutral Solar Control Films
These are the most advanced solar control films for glass on the market. They have “zero mirror effect” as they are free of reflective metal oxides. Their functionality relies on 220 transparent polyester layers in only 60 microns of thickness. They are invisible for storefronts or provide an elegant, reflection-free transparency for schools, offices, and museums.
Silver Films
These are metallic solar control films with a mirror effect and high energy efficiency, achieved through an aluminum vapor deposition process. They are highly effective against glare and reflections and provide a cool light temperature.
