ARCHITECTURAL WINDOW FILMS

Solar Gard LX 80

With an unparalleled optical clarity, LX 80 features low reflectance for

uncompromised views and considerable solar energy rejection to keep
room temperature comfortable and reduce cooling costs.

Improve the quality of your life by keeping out uncomfortable heat,

protecting your furnishings and letting in the view you love, while keeping
visual reflectivity minimal.

1 Infrared rejection = 1 - average unweighted transmittance using ASTM E 903.
2 Tdw-ISO is the percentage of transmitted light that causes fading. A lower number means more protection against fading.
