This film can block sunlight from entering a home through its windows by absorbing the light.
Homeowners can keep their homes cool in the summer by adding this film themselves.

Reflective window film is almost always used for commercial buildings.
This film reflects the sunlight, and gives a building a shiny, almost metallic, surface.

The third film available, as shown above, is spectrally selective
film, which is fast becoming the leading film used in residential homes.
Spectrally selective film provides double benefits by helping homeowners stay cool in the summer and warm in the winter.
