SunTek Infinity DS Bronze
Sold within SunTek's InfinityDS series.
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. | 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. | Solar energy transmitted Solar energy transmitted. Share of the sun's energy that passes straight through the glass. | Solar energy reflected Solar energy reflected. Share of the sun's energy reflected back outside. | Glare reduction Glare reduction. How much less visible glare than the same glass with no film. | 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. | Shading coefficient Shading coefficient. Solar heat gain compared with plain 1/8-inch clear glass, from 0 to 1. Lower is cooler. |

What the column names mean
- 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.
- VLR in
- Visible light reflected, inside. Share of light reflected back into the car or room: how much you see your own reflection at night.
- 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.
- SET
- Solar energy transmitted. Share of the sun's energy that passes straight through the glass.
- SER
- Solar energy reflected. Share of the sun's energy reflected back outside.
- Glare
- Glare reduction. How much less visible glare than the same glass with no film.
- SHGC
- Solar heat gain coefficient (g-value). Fraction of the sun's heat that ends up inside, from 0 to 1. Lower is cooler.
- SC
- Shading coefficient. Solar heat gain compared with plain 1/8-inch clear glass, from 0 to 1. Lower is cooler.
Figures are measured on single-pane clear glass; results on your windows will vary.
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.
