Solar film is a window tint applied to windows in homes and offices to reduce light, heat, glare, and UV rays. A sheet of strong polyester laminate is handled in various ways to improve the existing window’s look and performance. One side has a scratch-resistant coat, and the other has an adhesive that sticks the film to the glass surface.
Solar window film or window tint comes in two basic versions: reflective and non-reflective. First, reflective films are designed to do two things: absorb energy and reject solar energy.
Metallic films are usually made with a sputtering process, which coats the film with an extremely fine layer of metallic compound. Such films are highly effective at blocking and reflecting radiation from the sun. The downside to metallic solar film is that they tend to affect GPS devices and wireless connectivity.
Installing solar control window film increases the amount of solar energy reflected and absorbed by the window. Most window films have a thin metallic coating, made up of aluminium, stainless steel, silver, or a combination, that reflects and absorbs solar radiation.
Some are a hybrid of these two. Mirror and metallic films are usually reflective films, meaning they reflect the heat away. You can easily tell that these are reflective because they have a mirror effect on one side. Astronauts use reflective films on their helmets, that’s why they have a mirror-like effect!

Silver-coated glass and silvered-polymer film observed to be effective than other tested reflector materials. Sulphur dioxide is the major component, which causes a strong reduction in the reflectivity of the mirror when exposed to the acid rain atmosphere.
