Let’s debunk a myth that often gets thrown around: the belief that darker window films are the undisputed champions of heat rejection. While it’s true that darker films have their merits in keeping heat at bay, it’s a tad more nuanced than that. You see, the heat-rejecting prowess of a window film isn’t solely determined by how dark it is. There are a bunch of other factors at play.

 

When it comes to assessing how well solar films perform on your windows, Total Solar Energy Rejection (TSER) should be on your radar. TSER offers a holistic view of how effectively a film deals with solar heat. It doesn’t just consider visible light but also factors in the pesky infrared and ultraviolet rays, which can crank up the temperature inside your space. So, if you’re aiming for a space that’s comfy and energy-efficient, keeping an eye on TSER is a smart move.

 

Our Prestige Film Series are the best in the market at maximizing visible light transmission (VLT) while minimizing Solar Energy transmitted. It’s also the only film in the market optimized for Heat Rejection at a 60 degree angle.

 

In short, the answer is no, darker films aren’t always better at heat rejection.
