How Privacy Window Film Works
UV protection film is the right choice when fading is the primary concern: it's clear or nearly clear, blocks 99% of UV rays, and protects hardwood floors, rugs, furniture, and artwork without changing the look of your windows.
Dual-reflective film provides daytime privacy from outside while keeping the interior bright — the standard specification for street-facing living rooms, ground-floor bedrooms, and home offices that need both solar control and visual privacy.
