Yes, window films effectively reduce heat from the sun! One of the many benefits of window film is that it can help make your home or business a more comfortable place to live and work by blocking heat coming from the sun’s energy. Because window film is designed to selectively block heat-causing rays, visible light from the sun is still able to pass through the glass while the temperature inside the room remains cool.  

Keep in mind that different types of window film will have different results in terms of the amount of light and heat that pass through the film. A good rule of thumb is that the darker the film, the less heat that passes through the window. 

If eliminating hot spots and keeping your space comfortable is your primary goal, we recommend exploring our sun control window films. These products are specifically designed to address sun-related challenges such as temperature regulation, UV exposure and fading, solar glare, and energy efficiency, all while allowing natural light to enter into residential and commercial spaces.
