What is Sun Control Films?

Sun control film is a thin film applied directly to glass, intended to help manage glare and heat gain from direct sunlight while still allowing light through. It is suited to both office and house windows. Heat insulation film and cooling glass film work on a similar principle of managing heat through glass. Related glass-applied products include safety film (added to hold glass together if it cracks), and office or vinyl stickers applied to glass for privacy, frosting or basic surface decoration.
