How It Works

Solar films use advanced nano-layer technology with microscopic metallic particles that reflect infrared light (heat) while allowing visible light to pass through. The films typically consist of multiple layers including:

  • Scratch-resistant coating
  • UV-blocking layers
  • Heat-reflective metallic layers
  • Adhesive layer for installation
