This full-vehicle coverage solution is ideal for users seeking the most comprehensive protection. Using highly transparent TPU film, it completely covers all visible paint surfaces, protecting against UV rays, acid rain, minor scratches, and stone impacts, keeping the paint looking new for longer and increasing resale value.
A commercial fleet installed PPF in batches to maintain its brand image. For high-frequency daily use, a non-yellowing, easy-to-clean TPU film was selected, focusing on the front of the vehicle and high-contact areas.
After two years of operation, the film surface remains transparent, maintenance costs have been reduced by approximately 30%, and the vehicle’s appearance has been remarkably value-preserved upon resale, demonstrating the long-term economic viability of PPF in commercial applications.
The client selected a localized PPF solution for areas most frequently affected by high-speed driving and daily scratches (the front bumper, hood, rearview mirror, and door rims).
A weather-resistant TPU film was used to provide primary protection against flying rocks and gravel impacts. After application, the film surface resisted most external damage, reducing the need for repainting. After three years of operation, no noticeable paint wear was observed in the protected areas, demonstrating excellent customer feedback and a significant return on investment.
The client chose to apply PPF to the entire vehicle for long-term, comprehensive paint protection. A highly transparent TPU film was used during the application process, ensuring a consistent color difference from the original paint.
After installation, the paint’s gloss steadily improved, and minor scratches were automatically repaired under heat. A follow-up visit after one year of use confirmed that the film remained clear and transparent, with no yellowing or warping, significantly reducing overall vehicle maintenance costs.
Smart film transformer falls into the category of sun protection films that block heat and harmful uv rays. As you can probably already guess and as the name suggests, these films are there to protect you from the heat from the sun rays.
In general, one can say that foils that have a high reflection value also protect you best from heat. Most of the heat doesn’t even have the chance to get inside the room, since it bounces off or is reflected directly if the foil has a high reflection value.
A big advantage that you have with the heat protection films is that the interior does not heat up so much and it is so much more pleasant in summer than without a film. As a consequence, the costs for an existing air conditioning system will also decrease once professionally installed.
Heat protection films are available in many different designs, which then have different strong properties. However they have the basic operation to block or reduce the uv light from the windows.
Depending on how much the film is supposed to prevent the room from heating up, the darker or lighter it is – of course this also means that a darker film acts better heat reducing film.
In addition, these foils are also available in different colors such as silver, gray or bronze, so that the foils fit perfectly into the look of the facade or the building. The PDLC films are getting popular to cut the air conditioning cost, reduce glare and acts as a smart glass.
The installation of the sun protection films is not very difficult and with a little practice you can easily do it yourself. The assembly method is also known as peel and stick method just like a sticker.
Explained in detail: It is important that you thoroughly clean the surface to be coated beforehand. If this does not happen, there may be unsightly inclusions that can only be remedied by reassembly. A glass plane or a glass scraper is recommended for cleaning. These are friendly to the window or previous glass, but also efficient at the same time.
The UV heat protection films that you can buy from WGLASS are glued when wet. It means that the adhesive on the back of the smart film transformer only reacts when it comes into contact with water. For easier processing, it is important to mix the water with assembly concentration.
From now on it is helpful to work in pairs. The heat protection film must now be held at the top two corners. Anyone holding the film must definitely spray their fingers with a mixture of water and assembly concentrate beforehand so that there are no ugly fingerprints on the film that you can see afterwards.
Now you can start to gradually remove the smart film transformer from the film. As soon as the adhesive exposes, it should be sprayed directly with plenty of water/assembly concentrate mixture.
After you have also sprayed the area to coat, you can place the film on the pane. The film floats on the pane due to the water/mounting concentrate mixture, so that you can now easily move or adjust it.
If the foil is positioned correctly, you have to squeeze or squeegee out the liquid from under the foil. This is best done with the help of a squeezer or a squeegee that you can get from WGlass. The mounting liquid must squeeze from the center to the edge, where it can then be cleaned off.
A silicone seam at the end of the smart film transformer is also part of it. It is also largely responsible for the success of your installation.
The heat protection films or UV protective films, which you can order from us here, protect exhibits, high-quality fabrics and furniture from the invisible danger of UV rays while cutting your cost for replacing windows. The liquid crystals that are present in the heat control window film will reduce the light, harmful rays, and UV light to protect your furniture and indoor ambiance especially when there is a summer days.
Of course, this must avoid and this is exactly where our UV smart protective films come into play.
If your exhibits have already started to fade after 8 weeks. You can leave them behind a window coated with UV protection film for 24-32 weeks without any problems.
But people are also protected from UV radiation by this window film. Children react much more sensitively to light. Adults protects from UV radiation in the house thanks to UV protection film and thus also from painful sunburn and skin diseases.
UV light protection film provides UV protection of over 99% and are still transparent. This makes smart film transformer ideal for shop windows, local stores, restaurants and museums where you want to protect furniture, clothing and works of art from UV rays while allow the sunlight to pass through as well.
However, the viewer or potential customer deprives of their free view. With pure UV protective films, it is mainly the short-wave light rays (300-380 nm) that are absorbed.
Most of the visible light passes through the window unbroken, like an uncoated, commercially available pane. When buying a UV protection film, pay attention to the transmission value of the film. It indicates what percentage of visible light goes through the pane. The more high percentage you go the more opaque the glass film will be.
You can’t say that in general. Most pure UV protective smart film transformer is visually inconspicuous. However, there are also sun protection films that have good UV protection and are optically conspicuous with a tint. If a pane comes with a pure UV protective film is located directly next to an uncoated pane, it will be slightly darker.
Because a small part of the light is absorbed or reflected, coated panes are usually slightly tinted. But since the entire glass front comes with UV protection, you don’t notice the UV protective film. There is still enough daylight coming through the panes and you cannot reflect yourself in the shop window.
A transparent UV protective smart film transformer serves – as the name suggests – for pure UV protection. It therefore has no privacy or glare protection, but does not impair the view in the slightest.
Yes! The biggest enemy for rich colors in furniture and upholstery is UV radiation. Unfortunately, it happens again and again that the exhibits lose their color and thus their shine within just a few weeks. This counters with the help of UV protection film.
This ensures that your furniture will look the same color as it did on the first day, even after a long period of time.
To protect rooms from the sun, until recently, blackout tint film was mainly good for smart film window. Such a coating did not transmit light, but it did not save from overheating, as it accumulated energy itself.
Over time, manufacturers eliminate this shortcoming and today they offer a fundamentally new protection from the sun. This article will tell you about the types of new tint films, the main differences between them, the method of installation, and also help you choose the right polymer coating.
Depending on the type of film for double-glazed smart film window, it helps to solve different problems. It can darken rooms, keep rooms warm, improve the safety of double-glazed windows, protect against overheating and provide privacy.
Thanks to this material, it is possible to quickly adapt windows to current needs. The properties of the films determine by the composition of the layer that applies to them during the production process.
The metallized coating is capable of reflecting different waves from the spectrum of sunlight, so it is this coating that largely determines the properties of the films.
There are more and more multifunctional coatings on the market that are able to simultaneously solve several problems – reflect the sun’s rays, keep warm, provide privacy and decorate smart film window.
Sun protection film
This type designs to protect the interior from overheating and reduce the intensity of natural light. Most buyers associate solar control smart film window with a color coating that darkens rooms. However, in fact, mass-dyed polyester intends for other purposes. It is good to decorate windows.
Window tinting with an inexpensive sun-protection film with a mirror effect is obsolete. This method is mainly good only in cases where it requires darkening the premises with minimal costs.
Now thermal and multifunctional coatings are popular, since they almost do not reduce the light transmission of double-glazed smart film window. Such a reflective film glues to windows, doors, as well as balcony and roof glazing.
A real mirror film does not impair visibility from the premises. Tinting plastic windows and aluminum or wooden structures with this coating allows you to protect yourself from the sun and provide privacy at the same time.
There are also smart film window with heat-saving and protective properties. This type of polymer coating is able to imitate a regular or bronze mirror and colored reflective surfaces with a gloss effect.
Such a film also calls anti-vandal or anti-burglary, since it is able to provide protection from the street.
At night, when the lamps turn on inside the rooms, the mirror coatings lose their effectiveness and cease to provide one-way visibility. This factor must be taken into account by the owners of premises on the first floors.
Impact film
All polymer coatings that glue over glass make smart film window impact resistant. The difference between them lies in the ability to withstand the impact of different forces. In addition, a protective film glues on the double-glazed windows to prevent fragments from flying apart.
That is, the polymer coating may have a low impact resistance, but in any case it will help protect against injury. However, such a one-sided window film cannot function as a basic protection. To ensure a higher level of security, it requires using a material with a thickness of multilayer polyester from 110 microns.
Decorative film
Such a tinting film glues on smart film window to decorate openings, shop windows and is often good for facade glazing. It is dye polyester. Therefore it accumulates heat and reduces the light transmission of double-glazed windows. When choosing a color, keep in mind that decorative films have different transparency.
Decorative films of the new generation are multifunctional. Thanks to additional spraying, they reflect heat rays and exclude heating of windows.
Such a protective film applies to double-glazed smart film window in cases where it is necessary to decorate windows and prevent temperature rise in the interior. This polymer coating may have a glossy surface with a glare suppression function.
Architectural and facade smart film window is no different from polymer coatings known under other names. They also serve to provide protection from the sun and decorate buildings.
It’s just that these two terms are sometimes good as generalizing for all types of films – shockproof, decorative, sunscreen and a thermal. In some cases, a film with the effect of one-way visibility can be a facade film.
This is due to the fact that such polymer coatings are good in fully or partially glazed business centers and shopping malls to ensure privacy. Such films limit the view only from the side of the street. In addition, the outer film can call facade.
Films for euro windows
Euro windows include structures assembled from aluminum, plastic and wooden profiles. An additional feature of these models is the presence of double-glazed smart film window, tightness contours and modern fittings.
The film on euro windows applies in exactly the same way as on old-style carpentry structures. In all cases, it glues to the glass. That is, there is no fundamental difference between polymer coatings for different types of windows.
If windows fit with tinted double-glazed smart film window, which makes using body-tinted glass, internal films will not be suitable for providing effective protection from the sun. With this configuration, there is a high probability of overheating.
By the time the heat waves reach the reflective surface, they have already had time to heat the colored glass. On the way back, after reflection of the waves, the heat transfer process will repeat. That is, the use of internal films in such cases practically does not make sense. After all, the smart film window is still heated.
In order to prevent overheating of smart glass dyed in mass, another technology must be used. In such situations, you need a solar control film for windows, which must be glued from the outside. It immediately reflects the sun’s rays and does not allow their accumulation by glass colored in mass.
To stick it on the upper floors, you do not need to hire a tower or industrial climbers. For these purposes, it is enough to remove the double-glazed windows from the light openings, apply a polymer coating on them and insert them back into the windows.
External tinting is also recommended for smart glass with conventional double-glazed windows. After all, the sun’s rays, until they reach the inner film, have time to heat the spacer frame and glass. In addition, its use prevents premature depressurization of double-glazed windows.
During the operation of windows, an imperceptible process occurs
The exterior tinted window film has an additional completely transparent layer that protects it from damage. Thanks to him, the coating tolerates the effects of snow, rain, wind and dust. The level of wear resistance of this layer largely determines the effectiveness of the film.
Indeed, without it, the polymer coating located from the side of the street will very quickly lose its properties.
The tinting film on smart glass windows should be glued taking into account building and sanitary and hygienic standards. These documents regulate the daily amount of natural light that should flow through window openings into the interior.
Scientifically, this process calls insolation – irradiation of vertical and horizontal surfaces in rooms with sunlight.
Since smart glass window tint film blocks the sun’s rays, indoor insolation may not be sufficient. It is better not to allow this, since the lack of natural light negatively affects the development of plants and the state of human health. After all, direct sunlight kills microorganisms.
To prevent the development of bacteria and viruses in the premises, the tinting film for smart glass should be selected taking into account its light transmission.
The required level of insolation in living and working premises determines using special charts. They contain all the necessary information that will help you finds out the required time (+/-10 minutes) of exposure to direct sunlight.
How much the value of real insolation should be more than the permissible minimum?
To apply a polymer coating, you will need the following kit:
The search is for smart glass windows for installation on a balcony or loggia often ends with the choice of an average option – semi-warm glazing. Due to its practicality, it is in high demand. Semi-warm glazing of balconies is considered universal, as it is suitable for solving most repair and construction tasks.
When it comes to semi-warm glazing, they can mean 2 types of structures: sliding and standard with tilt-and-turn sashes. Both modifications of smart glass window blocks have fundamental differences, so you should not identify them. Each type of semi-warm glazing must be considered separately.
Both modifications are united by a common parameter – energy efficiency. It is not enough to equip a winter garden, a rest room or a study on the balcony.
At the same time, energy efficiency is sufficient to significantly reduce heat loss in the living room adjacent to the balcony. That is, the name of this type of glazing fully reflects its real capabilities.
This type of sliding smart glass windows is ideal for cramped balconies and loggias. Active sashes, when opened, are in the plane of the light opening and do not take up space inside the glazed room. These windows are easy to use and save space.
Along with the advantages of sliding systems, their 3 main disadvantages must also be taken in account:
Insufficient tightness – the way the sashes are opened provokes rapid wear of the seals, which can soon lead to smart glass window blowing;
Difficulties in the selection of accessories, for example, mosquito nets – due to the design of the windows, the use of a frame mosquito net becomes impossible. It is necessary to order a mosquito net with a sliding mechanism in order to avoid difficulties when opening / closing active doors.
This type of semi-warm smart glass glazing is preferable when space saving is more important than energy efficiency. In other cases, it is advisable to consider the option of installing standard window blocks.
Standard units with tilt-and-turn sashes in the basic configuration have approximately the same energy efficiency with sliding models. But they do not wear out the sealing contours so quickly. In addition, window blocks of this type can insulate during operation.
The main disadvantage of such structures is that wide-open doors require a lot of space inside a cramped loggia or balcony.
The price of semi-warm glazing of balconies is slightly higher than the cost of smart glass PVC windows with the lowest level of energy efficiency. At the same time, such window blocks have 2 fundamental advantages:
In comparison with cold structures, semi-warm glazing has a higher rigidity, therefore it is better able to withstand wind and deformation loads.
The main heat leakage occurs through double-glazed windows, and not through frames and sashes. So, first of all, it is necessary to increase energy efficiency in these areas of window blocks.
Smart glass reduces heat loss, it will be necessary to replace conventional double-glazed windows with models with a selective coating. This will help to significantly reduce heat leakage.
The best option for modernization is the installation of new selective double-glazed smart glass windows with two internal chambers. You will also need additional insulation:
