Ceramic film advantages

See the picture on the left? The glass has been tinted, using a conventional, metallised film. You will notice the set on the left is "smokey", whilst the set on the right is clearer to see through. This phenomenon occurs when the sun is striking the glass at a low angle, usually more in winter than in summer. We call it "Refraction" and it generally is more visible where a dark background is present. You don't need window film to get this, dirty windows or some factory-tinted glass can give the same result.
We have found that using Nano-Ceramic Window Films will eliminate, or at least considerably reduce this problem.

We replaced the conventional film on the left with a Ceramic Window Film. You can see the difference.
Apart from the clarity, there are some other advantages with ceramic film.

In coastal areas, where you have salt-spray drifting inland, conventional window film is prone to corrosion over time. This is evident in loss of colour and consequent loss of effectiveness, not to mention the appearance. Ceramics are stable and cannot corrode.

Ceramic film reduces heat more effectively than metallised films and is only matched by the most mirrored conventional films.
