Window Film is a micro-thin layer of polyester film combined with minute particles of metal, coated with a durable, optically-clear, scratch-resistant coating. It is professionaly installed as a retrofit product on clear or tinted glass. Most window films are 2 mil (0.0002") thick.
The sun's rays come to earth in wavelengths. These wavelengths range from infrared to visible light to ultra violet. Window film specifically targets infrared (heat causing rays) an UV rays, protecting your home or building while still allowing visible light to pass through the window. The Tint Shop uses only the highest quality window films from Madico to improve the comfort of occupants without hindering the view. Window film also blocks a small portion of visible light, reducing glare and actually improving the view to the outside.
