Window tint · Home and office
Solar Gard Quantum
Metallized film carries sputtered or vacuum-deposited metal that reflects heat. It's durable and color-stable but a little reflective, and the metal can weaken phone, GPS and toll-tag signals. 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. | Visible light reflected, inside Visible light reflected, inside. Share of light reflected back into the car or room: how much you see your own reflection at night. | Total solar energy rejected Total solar energy rejected. Share of the sun's total energy (heat) kept out. Higher is cooler. | Ultraviolet blocked Ultraviolet blocked. Share of ultraviolet light blocked, the part that fades interiors and harms skin. | Solar heat gain coefficient (g-value) Solar heat gain coefficient (g-value). Fraction of the sun's heat that ends up inside, from 0 to 1. Lower is cooler. |

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.
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.
