SunTek One Way Mirror
Still on SunTek's architectural solar spec sheet as DRMDS 7 (April 2024 edition), though not featured on its home film pages.
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.

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.
