Why Clear Premium
Top-tier IR rejection.Without the privacy film look. Clear Premium sits at the top of the solar control lineup — 94% IR rejection on both variants. The difference between 40% and 70% is how much light you want to let in, not how much heat gets blocked.
0194% IR Heat RejectionBoth CP 40% and CP 70% block 94% of infrared heat — the invisible heat that makes rooms uncomfortable near glass even when it looks bright outside. The highest IR rating in the Film Bros lineup.
02Strong Total Solar RejectionCP 40% rejects 62% of total solar energy. A strong performer for south and west-facing rooms that experience sustained heat buildup throughout the day.
0399% UV RejectionBlocks virtually all harmful UV rays across both variants — protecting furniture, flooring, artwork, and occupants from UV-related damage and fading year-round.
04Non-Privacy AppearanceClear Premium has no reflective or frosted exterior. It delivers high performance while keeping the glass looking natural — suitable for any setting where a clean aesthetic is required.
05CP 70% — Barely-There LookCP 70% (VLT 72%) is nearly invisible. Ideal when you want premium IR protection with the least visual impact on the glass — for spaces where light and openness are a priority.
06Same Price, Choose Your VLTCP 40% and CP 70% share identical pricing across all widths and lengths. Both deliver 94% IR and 99% UV rejection — choose based on how dark or light you want the glass.
Performance Data
Technical specs by variant.
Both variants deliver the same 94% IR rejection and 99% UV rejection. The key difference is VLT, TSER, and glare reduction — CP 40% is darker and blocks more heat and glare overall.
| Variant | VLT | UV Block | TSER | IR Rejection | Glare Reduction |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Clear Premium 40% | 40% | 99% | 62% | 94% | 53% |
| Clear Premium 70% | 72% | 99% | 55% | 94% | 20% |
Both variants share the same 94% IR rejection
The 94% IR figure is the standout stat — it means both films block nearly all of the infrared heat that causes discomfort, regardless of which VLT you choose. CP 40% also provides stronger TSER and glare reduction due to its darker tint.
