Neutral Films
These films are designed to be neutral, or almost invisible. While providing good Fade Protection, they do not detract from the original intent of the window, which is to let the natural light in. They filter 99.9% of the UV rays out and are a natural selection for homes, showrooms and display windows. When viewing the product specification chart, notice the low interior reflectivity and maximum UV protection.

Low ‘E’ Films
Low ‘E’ Solar Control Films, such as or Radiance or Ambiance enables the windows to reflect interior heat back into the home or building rather than absorbing it into the glass. If heat is absorbed into the glass, it is cycled through the glass to the cooler outside, thus heat loss. A Low ‘E’ film reduces this significantly. When viewing the product specification chart, the Emissivity value should be as low as possible. These films have excellent Fade Reduction as well as they reject 99.9% of the UV rays, and reduce substantial amounts of incoming heat from the sun.

Harmony Films
This product was designed for areas with excessive heat and glare problems, where a “flat”, neutral appearance is required. In other words, you want the benefit; you just don’t want to know it’s there. These films add no more reflectivity than normal glass, but still give optimum heat, glare and UV protection. When viewing the product specification chart, notice how the film is 8-9% exterior reflectance (the same as clear glass) while the heat rejection is still quite high. This is excellent for home or storefront.

Fade Protection
There are three main contributors to the fading process that Vista window film can help to reduce the damaging effects of the sun. While window film will not stop fading, you can review the chart below to see how the right film will significantly reduce the amount of premature fading.
● Ultraviolet Rays (A and B)
By far the single largest contributor to the fading process, UV rays are still only 40% of the problem. All Vista films reject 99.9% of incoming UV rays. Vista is the only film to presently have the approval from the Skin Cancer Foundation as being an approved product where the ultimate UV protection is required.
● Visible Light (Glare)
Visible light is 25% of the problem. So the darker the film, the better the protection. This must be balanced to your situation as the windows were put into the design of the building for a reason. For example, a darker film may be suitable for a commercial application, but may not be acceptable in your home where more natural light is needed.
● Heat
Heat is also 25% of the fading problem. Vista film can help with this in three very different ways.
● Reflection
The obvious way is to reflect the heat by using a highly reflective film such as Vista Ultima (V-14). The highly reflective layer reflects over 70% of the incoming heat back out through the window. While very effective, this film may not be desirable on a home.
● Absorption
The Harmony Series offers heat reduction through absorption of heat with very little reflection.
● Reflection Without Reflectivity
The most complex is the Spectrally Selective series. These films are very light, non-reflective and yet reduce a substantial amount of the incoming heat. This is achieved by multiple layers of reflective precious metals bonded to non-reflective oxide layers.
Ultimately, there may be some compromise to come up with the right film for your situation. This is where we can help guide you to the right film.
All Vista films are UV stabilized with 99.9% UV protection. It is the recommended product for any installation where maximum UV protection is required and has the stamp of approval from the Skin Cancer Foundation as a recommended product.

Tips
To check if your windows are dual or triple pane, hold a lighter or flashlight close to the glass. Count the reflections of light. For dual-pane you will see two distinct reflections, for triple-pane you will see three. As each side of the glass gives a reflection, don’t be concerned if you see a shadow reflection (for example four for a dual or six for a triple). This is valuable information to us if we have not come out to site visit, as it will guide us to which types of films can be used on your windows.
For the do-it-yourself installer, please Do Not apply the darkest film available on your dual or triple-pane windows. Many films available at a local retailer are designed for automotive use on tempered glass. Applying such a film could cause your glass to fail prematurely. Ask a professional when selecting your film
