Most window films have a thin metallic coating, made up of aluminum, stainless steel, silver or a combination of these, that reflects and absorbs solar radiation. Of the radiation absorbed, most of it is reradiated outward, though some is radiated into the building. The most important performance measurement of the heat rejection ability of solar control window film is the solar heat gain coefficient (SHGC). Although reduction in solar heat gain and cooling costs are the primary benefits of window film, there are other advantages as well. The near-complete rejection of UV rays can decrease fading of furniture and mitigate the harmful effects UV rays have on building occupants. All quality window films reject between 95 and 99 percent of ultraviolet energy. Window film also reduces the amount of visible light that comes through a window, which can help reduce glare on computer screens and other reflective surfaces.
