Specification

Balance at a glance

Balance is the all-rounder. It takes the heat and glare off west-facing glass without turning your windows into mirrors, and the black brown tone reads as tinted glass rather than as film.

Why this film

What it does for the room

Low reflection

Reflective films buy privacy by looking like mirrors. Balance keeps exterior reflection down, so the house still looks like a house.

Best visibility in the range

HQ rates Balance highest of the architectural films for clarity looking out. You notice the heat is gone, not the film.

Three shades

From 5.3% for real privacy up to 31.1% for a light tint. The heat performance holds up well across the range.

Shades

The same view, at each shade

VLT visible light transmission — how much daylight the window keeps; lower is darker · IRR infrared rejection — the heat you feel through the glass · UVR UV rejection — what fades floors, curtains and furniture · TSER total solar energy rejection — all the sun's heat, the best single number · VLR int / ext visible light reflectance, inside face / outside face — a high exterior figure is what reads as a mirror from the street · Thickness the film itself; heat films are thin, safety films are not · SC shading coefficient — solar heat let through compared with plain glass; lower is better · SHGC solar heat gain coefficient — the share of solar heat that reaches the room; lower is better, and it is the figure a building specification asks for.
