Explore safety filmThe right film should address your priorities and suit your glazing. Use these four points to prepare for a conversation.
Note when the room gets hot and which direction the windows face. Consider total solar energy rejected (TSER) alongside visible light transmission (VLT).
Identify the affected area and the time of day, so the light transmission level can be considered with the room’s activities.
Review sample colours and reflections from inside and outside, during both daytime and evening, before choosing.
Share the glass type and thickness if known, including whether it is tempered, laminated or double glazed, so suitability can be checked first.
Compare the technologies and light transmission ranges, then select a model for your project. The application groups above are a starting point.
These are ranges across models in each series, not figures for every model. Request the selected model’s data and glazing test conditions before deciding.

| Series | Technology | VLT | IRR | UV rejection | TSER | Thickness | Warranty |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| POLARIZED | Nano Ceramic | 5–60% | 99% | 99% | 73–97% | 2 mil / 50 micron | 7 years |

Window and room photos, approximate dimensions and the time of day when heat or glare occurs help start the discussion.
Discuss glazing, colour, light transmission, film model, scope and cost before arranging installation.
Check aftercare guidance, warranty documents for the chosen model and who to contact with questions.
Start with the space and the problem you want to address. Then compare series and models based on glazing, preferred light levels and budget. You can share photos with the team for an initial discussion.
This depends on the model’s visible light transmission (VLT). Higher values mean more light passes through. Review samples with your glazing and actual lighting before choosing.
MAXXMA offers series for both automotive and building applications. Model suitability still needs to be checked for the glazing and installation. Figures tested on different glazing should not be directly compared.
Actual results depend on glazing, orientation, area and air-conditioning use. The energy tool compares preliminary estimates under stated assumptions and does not guarantee savings or a payback period.
SIGNATURE safety film helps hold glass fragments together after breakage. It does not make glass unbreakable. Glass type, project scope and the installation system must be considered together.
The period depends on the series and model. Check the comparison table and read the full warranty terms before confirming the film and installation.
