Medium Neutral/Bronze is a popular reflective product that is still safe for dual pane windows. It is mainly used for serious heat rejection when the exterior view is not the greatest concern. It is also good for privacy. It also rejects more that a 90% sunscreen but is no darker that an 80% sunscreen. (SeeAPSstudy for test results)
Light Neutral/Bronze is a commonly used film, offering the same heat rejection as most sunscreens. Reflectivity on this shade is minimal and still lets a lot of natural light into the house. Blinds and shutters also remain visible through this shade.
Silver is a sister film to the medium bronze offering nearly identical performance, but with a grey tone instead of bronze and slightly higher heat rejection.
Light Non-Reflective Neutral is manufactured with a low luster metal to further reduce reflectivity. The drawback is weakened heat rejection. This film would only be good for someone who's primary concern is protecting their furnishings from fading rather than energy efficiency.
Dark Smoke is just a basic “Limo” film typically used in restaurants or offices where privacy/darkness/heat rejection are desired without the “mirrored” look. (But please note that this film does NOT have glass break coverage)
Light Ceramic Neutral is virtually invisible is no more reflective than clear dual pane glass, but it still rejects 80% of the infra red heat. This film is perfect for “view” windows. (Night time city lights or storefront displays)
Dual Reflective Mirror (DRM) ... “Dual Reflective” is structured in such a way that the exterior side maximizes heat rejection while the interior maintains a non- reflective quality.
White Frost is an opaque "sandblasted" look intended for privacy. This is typically used in bathrooms, entryways, offices and conference rooms etc... (But please note that this film does NOT have glass break coverage)
Whiteoutis intended to completely obscure visibility. It is typically used in commercial situations when a stud-wall is to be built over existing windows.
Blackoutis intended to completely obscure visibility. It is typically used in commercial situations when a stud-wall is to be built over existing windows. This is also a 4mil security film. (But please note that this film does NOT have glass break coverage)
Anti-Graffiti/Security is intended to protect window/mirror/stainless steel surfaces. When a vandal attempts to scratch graffiti , the 6mil film protects the surface. It is also effective against acid etching. The film can be replaced much faster and for a fraction of the cost of the glass itself.
