Dual-Reflective Window Film Cuts Home Heat & Glare in Toledo, Ohio

A customer in our hometown of Toledo, Ohio called us to help with an excessive heat and glare issue. We quickly identified the root causes of the issue, and thanks to 3M Dual-Reflective Window Film, the family now has an even more impressive view, and a more comfortable home.

What Made Dual-Reflective Window Film The Right Solution

This beautiful river home has south facing windows that were causing too much direct sun to enter the home, making it uncomfortable at certain points of the day. After consultation, we recommended a dual-reflective window film that dramatically reduced both the problematic heat and glare. We utilized a slightly darker film on the top windows than what we used on lower level. Because the coloring is the same and the brightness above is greater, this creates a uniform look that maximizes performance.

How Dual-Reflective Film Rejects Heat While Amplifying Views

This film is called “dual-reflective” because it has different levels of reflectivity on the inside and outside. It’s a great solution for both homes and businesses that are experiencing uncomfortable conditions because of direct sunlight. In this case, this customer got the high heat and glare rejecting performance they needed to make living conditions in the home more pleasant, while maintaining the great river views from the inside looking out. You can see in the below interior picture of this dual-reflective window film installation just how much different the film looks when viewed from inside the customer’s home.
