In Toronto, there are many different types of window films available today for many different purposes. Window films are essentially plastic coatings that get applied to glass to enhance it in some way. Some common types of window film in Toronto are: Tinted window film, security film, and decorative window film.
Tinted window films, also known simply as window tint, or solar film, are commonly used for heat reduction. They cut out up to 80% of the total solar energy coming through glass - resulting in less glare, cooler temperature, energy savings, and in some cases privacy. There are different shades/grades of window tint - some are very light and hardly noticeable on the glass, while some are quite dark, and therefore alter the appearance of the glass significantly. The most common commercial window tint is a reflective mirror tint - which causes a 1 - way mirror effect.
Security window film is used to strengthen existing glass. It holds shards together in the event of glass breakage - resulting in safer glass, and glass that is break-and-enter resistant. Some very thick security films are even used for bomb blast protection. Security film is typically clear, so one wouldn't even know it was on the glass.
Decorative window films are used to alter the appearance of clear glass to increase privacy, for decoration, or corporate identification purposes. Frosted film is the most common decorative film. It lets light pass through the glass, but prevents one from seeing in or out, daytime or nighttime.
