What Do These Specs Mean?

TSER - Total Solar Energy Rejected

The percentage of total solar energy (heat) that the film blocks from entering your property. Higher is better for heat control. A TSER of 62% means 62% of solar heat is blocked.

SHGC - Solar Heat Gain Coefficient

Measures how much solar heat passes through the window. Lower numbers mean less heat entering. An SHGC of 0.38 means only 38% of solar heat gets through.

U-Value

Measures how well a window insulates. Lower U-Values mean better insulation and less heat loss in winter. Low-E films can improve your window's U-Value by up to 35%.

VLT - Visible Light Transmission

The percentage of visible light that passes through the film. Higher VLT means brighter interiors. Choose based on whether you prioritize light or privacy.
