Solar Control Film > Dual-Reflective Series
What is "Dual-Reflective"?
Dual-Reflective film is a type of window film designed to provide optimal solar control by using two different reflective coatings. This film is commonly used in residential and commercial buildings to enhance comfort, reduce energy costs, and maintain clear views both during the day and at night.
Dual Layers:
- Exterior Layer: Highly reflective to block a significant portion of solar heat and glare. This layer reflects the sun’s rays away from the window, keeping interiors cooler.
- Interior Layer: Less reflective, ensuring that views from inside to outside remain clear even at night. This layer allows for good visibility and lessens the mirror-like effect seen with other reflective films.

Dual-Reflective Window Film Tames the Sun and Preserves Home Views
Dual-reflective film blocks more than 99% of the UV rays that contribute to fading of finishes and furnishings, makes TV viewing in bright rooms more comfortable, and helps to keep heat out so you feel cooler, and your air conditioner runs less. It’s an especially good solution for large windows, because it provides solar control without compromising expansive views.
Dual-reflective window film helps answers a complaint that many homeowners have about silver reflective window film: it looks like a mirror from the inside at night. Dual-reflective film’s combination of two solar control technologies can help with this problem. The technology facing inside has a subtle, more neutral look that typically won’t make your windows seem mirrored. The technology facing outside is reflective, so you can see through it but people on the street see only reflections.
Benefits of Dual-Reflective Films
Improved Comfort by Reducing Heat Gain and Glare
Dual-reflective films significantly lower the amount of solar heat entering a building, leading to a cooler and more comfortable indoor environment. By reflecting a large portion of the sun's rays, these films help maintain consistent indoor temperatures, reducing the strain on air conditioning systems. Additionally, they reduce glare on screens and reflective surfaces, making it easier to work or relax without straining your eyes.
Enhanced Privacy without Compromising Views
During the day, the highly reflective exterior layer of dual reflective films ensures that people outside cannot see in, providing excellent privacy for occupants. This feature is particularly beneficial for homes and offices located in busy areas or with large windows facing public spaces. At the same time, the interior layer's lower reflectivity allows clear, unobstructed views from the inside, ensuring that you can still enjoy the scenery and natural light.
Increased Protection Against UV Radiation
Dual reflective films block up to 99% of harmful UV rays, which are a primary cause of fading in furniture, artwork, and flooring. This protection helps preserve the color and integrity of interior furnishings, extending their lifespan and maintaining their aesthetic appeal. Moreover, reducing UV exposure contributes to a healthier indoor environment by minimizing the risk of skin damage and other health issues associated with prolonged UV exposure.
Night-time Clarity for Unobstructed Views
Unlike standard reflective film, the interior layer of dual reflective films is designed to minimize nighttime reflections. This feature ensures that views from inside remain clear even when interior lights are on, avoiding the mirror-like effect that can obstruct visibility. This advantage makes dual reflective films ideal for properties where maintaining a connection with the outside environment is important, even after dark.
