Albany, NY -- (SBWIRE) -- 01/26/2019 -- A window film can be defined as a self-adhesive polyester film applied to a glass surface. It is used for blocking harmful UV rays and for regulating the level of heat and light passing through the glass. Window films can be applied in automobiles, homes, and commercial buildings. The primary purpose of glass is to provide a natural view of the outside world while also acting as a barrier for external elements. Special dyes, metals, and nanotechnology employed in the film act as a solar energy barrier to either absorb or reflect a portion of the sun's rays passing through the glass.

Among types of window films, dyed films do not contain any metal and they are non-reflective as they absorb solar energy. However, their lack of reflective ability makes them less effective. On the other hand, nanotechnology-based or metallized films provide both reflection and absorption of solar energy. Hence, they are more effective compared to dyed films.
