UV Film Selection and Consultation Process

We measure existing light transmission and heat gain to establish baseline performance metrics that help determine the most appropriate film specifications for your application. During the selection phase, we present multiple film options with detailed specifications for UV rejection, visible light transmission, and heat reduction capabilities.
