Window film technology
Film Clarity Rating
Film clarity rating measures how clearly a window film transmits visible light without distortion, typically reported as a haze percentage (lower is better).
Clarity is quantified by haze — the percentage of transmitted light that gets scattered rather than passing through directly. A premium ceramic film has haze under 1%; a cheap dyed film can have 3% or more.
High haze creates a slight "milky" look, particularly noticeable on dashboards and overhead surfaces seen through the windscreen. Low haze keeps the view through the film visually identical to bare glass.
Quality manufacturers publish haze figures alongside VLT and total solar energy rejection. Platinum99 maintains haze well under 1% across its life, contributing to the optical clarity that the LTA's windscreen rule effectively requires.
