How is window film better than tinted glass?
Film provides various advantages like heat rejection, protection from harmful UV rays (upto 98%) and protection from flying splinters in the case of accidental breakage of glass; which are not achieved in tinted glass. Thus it is better than tinted glass on these parameters. • How is blocking of UV rays helpful? Does it prevent fading? Most films are UV stabilized, which can cut upto 98% of the harmful UV rays which causes fading. But it should be noted that UV rays is one of the components in the solar energy spectrum, and the other components such as heat, Infrared radiation and light are also responsible for fading due to sunlight. Since these factors vary for different types of films and hence extent of fading will depend on the type of film used. • Why is window film called an energy saver? Film once applied on window glass reduces the ingress of heat through it enhancing cooling of the room/car. As a result there is a cut down in terms of the energy consumed, and hence film is al
