Why Clear Value
Real solar performanceat an accessible price point. Clear Value delivers strong heat and UV rejection with a mostly transparent appearance — the right choice when you want comfort improvement without dramatic visual change to your glass.
01Strong Solar Heat RejectionCV 40% rejects 64% of total solar energy — one of the strongest in the lineup. Keeps rooms cooler and reduces air conditioning load without darkening your space.
02Exceptional IR Rejection88% infrared heat rejection on the 40% variant blocks the invisible heat that makes rooms uncomfortable near sun-facing glass, even when light levels stay high.
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.
04Glare Reduction54% glare reduction on CV 40% cuts harsh screen glare and direct sun glare in living rooms, offices, and sun-heavy spaces.
05Lighter Look with CV 65%CV 65% lets in more natural light with a more visually open appearance — ideal when you want entry-level heat and UV protection while keeping the glass feeling bright.
06Same Price, Two VLT OptionsCV 40% and CV 65% share identical pricing across all widths and lengths. Choose darker for more performance, lighter for more natural light — at the same cost.
Performance Data
Technical specs by variant.
Both variants share identical pricing. CV 40% delivers stronger heat and glare control. CV 65% prioritizes natural light with lighter solar performance.
| Variant | VLT | UV Block | TSER | IR Rejection | Glare Reduction |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Clear Value 40% | 41% | 99% | 64% | 88% | 54% |
| Clear Value 65% | 65% | 99% | 44% | 70% | 29% |
What these numbers mean
VLT = visible light that passes through. TSER = total solar energy rejected. IR = infrared heat rejection. Glare = percentage of glare blocked. Higher TSER and IR means more heat control. Higher VLT means a lighter, more transparent film.
