What Is a Mylar Shade?
A Transparent Shade is a multi-layer window film system engineered for commercial, residential, industrial, and even control tower applications.
Construction & Materials
- Made of three transparent layers of dyed polyester (Mylar®)
- Available in 3 mil, 4.5 mil, 5 mil, and 7 mil thicknesses
- Each pair of glare-reducing polyester layers is laminated with a thin, heat-reflective aluminum coating
This layered design allows the film to block heat and glare without significantly obstructing natural light or visibility.
Key Benefits
By installing Transparent (Mylar Shades) on your windows, you can:
- Reject up to 99% of ultraviolet (UV) rays
Protects furnishings, flooring, artwork, and fabrics from fading.
