Below, we’ve shared a few of our top recommendations for heat blocking window film.

 

How Does Window Film Control Heat?

Before we move on, let’s talk a little bit about how window film works in the first place. Though window films may seem simple, they’re actually quite scientifically advanced. They’re designed based on our understanding of how light and the electromagnetic spectrum works.

The EMS is made up of several different frequencies of light. The one you are probably most familiar with is Visible Light. Visible light illuminates, but it doesn’t carry much heat. Other frequencies, such as infrared and UV rays, on the other hand, are the primary causes of heat gain.

Window film works by limiting the transmission of infrared and UV light. Visible light gets through, but heat does not. This is how it keeps your interior cool without making it dark.
