Hybrid film pairs a dyed layer with a thin metal layer, so it rejects more heat than dyed film while staying less shiny than an all-metal film. Compare the types of window film.

| Shade | Visible light transmitted Visible light transmitted. Share of visible light that passes through the glass and film. Lower is darker. | Visible light reflected, outside Visible light reflected, outside. Share of light the window reflects outward: how mirror-like it looks from outside. | Total solar energy rejected Total solar energy rejected. Share of the sun's total energy (heat) kept out. Higher is cooler. | Infrared energy rejected Infrared energy rejected. Share of infrared energy blocked across the whole infrared range. | Selective infrared rejected Selective infrared rejected. Infrared blocked at the wavelengths the maker picks. It reads higher than IRER and differs from brand to brand, so compare it only within one brand. | Ultraviolet blocked Ultraviolet blocked. Share of ultraviolet light blocked, the part that fades interiors and harms skin. |

- VLT
- Visible light transmitted. Share of visible light that passes through the glass and film. Lower is darker.
- VLR out
- Visible light reflected, outside. Share of light the window reflects outward: how mirror-like it looks from outside.
- TSER
- Total solar energy rejected. Share of the sun's total energy (heat) kept out. Higher is cooler.
- IRER
- Infrared energy rejected. Share of infrared energy blocked across the whole infrared range.
- Sel. IRR
- Selective infrared rejected. Infrared blocked at the wavelengths the maker picks. It reads higher than IRER and differs from brand to brand, so compare it only within one brand.
- UV
- Ultraviolet blocked. Share of ultraviolet light blocked, the part that fades interiors and harms skin.
Figures are measured on single-pane clear glass; results on your windows will vary. The number in a shade's name is nominal; VLT is the measured light transmission.
Darkness limits for cars are set by each state. Check your state's tint law before choosing a shade.
Visualize the shades: tint preview and heat rejected
The tint preview shows how each shade darkens the view from inside (visible light transmission, VLT); screens vary, so use it as a guide. Heat rejected is total solar energy rejected (TSER): higher is cooler.
