The film is usually made from polyester or other thermoplastic polymer materials and is designed to address a variety of issues related to glass, including heat, glare, UV radiation, privacy, safety, and aesthetics

UV Protection: Blocks up to 99% of harmful UV rays, reducing the risk of skin cancer and preventing furnishings from fading.
Glare Reduction: Minimizes glare from the sun, improving comfort and visibility.
Privacy: Increases privacy by preventing outsiders from looking in.
