Window film technology

Solar Control Film

Solar control film is the formal industry term for window film engineered to manage solar heat, UV and glare — the technical name for what most drivers call "tint."

"Solar control film" appears in industry standards (ASTM, ISO, EN) and manufacturer specifications. It is interchangeable with "solar film" and "window tint" in everyday usage but more precise in technical documents.

Specifications you see — VLT, VLR, IRR, UV rejection — are all defined in solar control standards.

When evaluating quotes from different workshops, request the formal solar control film specification sheet. A workshop that can produce one is usually a workshop that takes the product seriously.
