FAQ Safety Films

Do safety films affect visibility or the light in the room?

Security films offer effective protection and numerous advantages, but many people wonder whether these films impair the view or the light in the room. The answer to this depends on the type of security film you choose. Here are some key points to help you decide:

1. clarity and transparency:
High-quality, clear security films are designed to be virtually invisible and do not obstruct the view. They provide protection without blocking the view out or compromising the aesthetic transparency of the glass.

2. tinting options:
There are also tinted security films that provide functions such as anti-glare and heat dissipation in addition to security. These films slightly reduce the brightness in the room, which can be particularly advantageous in very sunny areas. Please note that the light transmission varies depending on the degree of tinting.

3. mirrored films:
Mirrored security films provide additional privacy from the outside and reflect a large proportion of sunlight. This can be particularly advantageous in offices or private homes where privacy and reduced sunlight are desired. Inside, the view to the outside is largely retained.

4. UV protection:
Many security films are equipped with a UV filter that blocks harmful UV radiation without significantly affecting light transmission. This not only protects your skin, but also furniture and floors from fading.

5 Coatings and layers:
Modern security films can consist of multiple layers specifically designed to maximise light transmission while providing protection. These advanced solutions ensure that you can enjoy the benefits of the film without sacrificing natural light.

It is important to seek advice from a specialist company in your area to find the most suitable security film for your needs. The experts can show you different samples and demonstrate their light and visual behaviour.

To summarise, it can be said that security films can affect the visibility or light conditions in the room differently depending on the type of film. However, a carefully selected product offers the desired protection without compromising living comfort. Rely on professional advice and high-quality material to find the best possible solution for your windows.
