The light and heat is coming at the window and it has to go somewhere so the two options are to absorb the solar energy or to reflective, or both. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:14px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-reflective-window-films\">Reflective Window Films<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Reflective films are also known as \u201cmetallized\u201d window films. The metal content make reflective window films exceptional at rejecting heat and filtering out glare \u2013 much more so than non-metalized alternatives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Because metallized films work by reflecting the solar energy, they typically have a very low solar absorption, making them safe to apply to most types of glass. An example of an exception can be laminated glass or glass with metal wiring between the panes. In that case, a dark reflective film installed from the interior could cause thermal stress to the glass and seals. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:14px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-window-films-that-absorption-the-solar-energy\"><meta charset=\"utf-8\">Window Films That Absorption the Solar Energy  <\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>When applying a non-metallized window film on a home or business, it is especially important to note the type of glass the window film is being applied. The reason is a film that does not contain metal works by absorbing the solar energy in the film and glass. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Depending on the glass strength and whether it be a single, dual, or triple pane window will affect compatibility with some window films. Too much solar absorption can cause window seals to prematurely fail and the possibility of the window cracking.  That is why its always important to identify  what type of glass you&#8217;re working with and refer to  your window film manufacturer&#8217;s &#8220;Film to Glass Compatibility Chart&#8221; <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:14px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-film-to-glass-compatibility-chart\"><meta charset=\"utf-8\">Film to Glass Compatibility Chart<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Flat glass window film manufacturers provide a film to glass compatibility chart for quick reference as to what film can go on what glass. If ever uncertain, it is always advised to contact the film manufacturer and get their approval on the application. For the film warranty to be valid, the application must meet manufacturers specifications. Other than this film on that glass, other factors can also come into play like the size of the pane of the glass, its directional exposure, and even an overhang. When it doubt, as the film manufacturer. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:14px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-examples-of-film-to-glass-compatibility-charts\">Examples of film to glass compatibility charts:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:14px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/tintwiz.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/XPEL-VISION-Film-To-Glass-Chart-Dual-pane.jpg\" alt=\"XPEL VISION Window Film To Glass Chart\" class=\"wp-image-6943\" width=\"840\" height=\"649\" srcset=\"https:\/\/tintwiz.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/XPEL-VISION-Film-To-Glass-Chart-Dual-pane.jpg 792w, https:\/\/tintwiz.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/XPEL-VISION-Film-To-Glass-Chart-Dual-pane-600x464.jpg 600w, https:\/\/tintwiz.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/XPEL-VISION-Film-To-Glass-Chart-Dual-pane-768x593.jpg 768w, https:\/\/tintwiz.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/XPEL-VISION-Film-To-Glass-Chart-Dual-pane-36x28.jpg 36w, https:\/\/tintwiz.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/XPEL-VISION-Film-To-Glass-Chart-Dual-pane-104x80.jpg 104w, https:\/\/tintwiz.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/XPEL-VISION-Film-To-Glass-Chart-Dual-pane-394x303.jpg 394w, https:\/\/tintwiz.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/XPEL-VISION-Film-To-Glass-Chart-Dual-pane-392x303.jpg 392w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 840px) 100vw, 840px\" \/><figcaption>XPEL VISION Window Film To Glass Chart<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:14px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"https:\/\/tintwiz.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Avery-Film-to-Glass-Application-Chart-edited.jpg\" alt=\"Avery Film to Glass Application Chart\" class=\"wp-image-6952 lazyload\" width=\"841\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/tintwiz.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Avery-Film-to-Glass-Application-Chart-edited.jpg 608w, https:\/\/tintwiz.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Avery-Film-to-Glass-Application-Chart-edited-470x600.jpg 470w, https:\/\/tintwiz.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Avery-Film-to-Glass-Application-Chart-edited-22x28.jpg 22w, https:\/\/tintwiz.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Avery-Film-to-Glass-Application-Chart-edited-63x80.jpg 63w, https:\/\/tintwiz.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Avery-Film-to-Glass-Application-Chart-edited-237x303.jpg 237w, https:\/\/tintwiz.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Avery-Film-to-Glass-Application-Chart-edited-548x700.jpg 548w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 608px) 100vw, 608px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 608px;

Single pane, clear glass has the highest rate of heat loss or heat gain (depending on the local climate), while permitting the highest daylight transmission.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:14px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-dual-pane-windows\"><span style=\"color:#6d5bae\" class=\"has-inline-color\">Dual Pane Windows<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Double pane glass is the most common type of glass used in today\u2019s residential and commercial windows. It is constructed with two pieces of glass spaced apart and sealed to be airtight, forming a single-glazed unit. Also known as an insulating glass unit, double pane glass is designed to increase a window\u2019s thermal performance by reducing the heat gain or loss. According to the Efficient Windows Collaborative, compared to single glazing, double-pane glass cuts heat loss in half due to the insulating air space between the glass layers. In addition to reducing the heat flow, a double-glazed unit with clear glass will allow the transmission of high visible light and high solar heat gain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:14px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-triple-pane-windows\"><span style=\"color:#6d5bae\" class=\"has-inline-color\">Triple Pane Windows<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Triple Pane Windows aren\u2019t as common as double-pane windows in most parts of the US. The main difference between double- and triple-pane windows is that triple-pane windows have three panes of glass instead of two.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:14px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>A three-pane design means the window provides more insulation. If you live in an area with very cold winters, triple-pane windows can help minimize heat lost through your windows when it\u2019s chilly outside.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:14px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Triple-pane windows is also a great option for noisy areas. That extra pane of glass makes a big difference in sound reduction.

If applying a compatible window film to the glass, it is unlikely for glass to crack. The most likely way to crack glass is to install a film with too high absorption. Dark automotive films typically have a high solar absorption, which means they hold a lot of the heat from passing through or reflecting which means if you were to put a dark automotive film on a residential or commercial window that receives direct sun, it is likely to crack. That is why its important to install window films that were meant for a home or business, and not install automotive window films on anything but a vehicle, with a few exceptions. There are always exceptions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:14px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-can-you-put-window-film-on-low-e-glass\"><span style=\"color:#6d5bae\" class=\"has-inline-color\"><meta charset=\"utf-8\">Can you put window film on Low E glass?<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Window film can be applied to Low E windows in most cases.

Technology has brought the window film industry a variety of residential and commercial window films that are meant to be applied to dual pane windows.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:14px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-is-window-film-installed-on-the-inside-or-outside\"><span style=\"color:#6d5bae\" class=\"has-inline-color\"><meta charset=\"utf-8\">Is window film installed on the inside or outside?<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Residential and commercial window films are available for interior and exterior application. Most commonly window film is installed on the interior as they will last longer with interior application. There are more interior window film options than exterior. There are instances where exterior window film installation is a better option than the interior, sometimes due to access and other times due to not having access to the interior.
