about the film
What is Sputtered Solar Control Film?
Every window film performs differently. Here, we break down how this film works, what it can achieve and where it may be best suited.
Sputtered Solar Control Film is manufactured using a multi-layer coating process that enhances solar performance while limiting reflectivity. This allows the film to deliver effective heat and glare reduction without significantly altering the external appearance of the glass.
It is often selected where aesthetics are as important as performance.

Where This Film Works Best.
Different spaces have different requirements. Explore some of the environments where this film can provide an effective solution.
A Subtle Tint Remains
The glass takes on a light, neutral tone, so the appearance still changes even though reflectivity is low.
Privacy Depends On Lighting
Daytime privacy improves with the darker shade, but it should not be relied upon after dark.
Glass Compatibility
The construction and condition of the glazing must be considered before selecting an appropriate film.
Balanced Performance
Sputtered film sits between reflective and clear options, so comparing samples is worthwhile before deciding.
