Types of Energy Efficient Window Film

New technology has lead to the development of window films that are more powerful and longer-lasting than ever before. Today, homeowners have a lot of options to choose from to suit their aesthetic concerns as well as their practical needs. Here are a few of the many different types of window film you’ll be able to choose from:

  • Spectrally selective window film: These window films use spectrally selective technology to control what type of light is able to get through your windows. Infrared light, which cases heat gain, and UV rays, which cause fading, are kept out while visible light is allowed through.
  • Nanoceramic window film: These window films contain super tiny, nano-sized ceramic particles. The ceramic material helps reflect heat back outside, preventing it from getting indoors.
  • Dual-reflective window film: Reflective films have an attractive, mirror-like appearance. They’re most commonly used for commercial buildings and high-end or luxury homes. The benefit of these films is that they provide privacy as well as energy efficiency. (Check out specs for LLumar’s dual reflective window films here: LLumar Dual Reflective Film Specs)
