Why Dual Reflective
Daytime privacy and solar control.Without changing your view. The go-to film when you need a mirror effect on the outside, heat and glare reduction, and a clean look from inside — all in one product.
01Daytime One-Way PrivacyThe reflective exterior creates a mirror effect during daylight hours, blocking outside views while keeping your interior sightlines clear.
02Strong Solar Heat RejectionCuts solar heat gain significantly, reducing air conditioning load and improving comfort near south, east, and west-facing glass.
0399% UV RejectionBlocks virtually all harmful UV rays — protecting furniture, flooring, artwork, and occupants from UV-related damage and fading.
04Glare ReductionDramatically reduces screen glare and harsh light in living rooms, offices, and any space with direct afternoon or morning sun.
05Reduced Interior ReflectionThe dual-layer construction softens the interior mirror effect so your inside space still feels open and natural.
0625% or 35% — Choose Your LevelDR 25% gives stronger privacy and more heat/glare control. DR 35% lets in more natural light. Same price either way.
Performance Data
Technical specs by variant.
UV rejection is 99% on both variants. Key differences are in VLT, TSER, IR rejection, and glare reduction.
| Variant | VLT | UV Block | TSER | IR Rejection | Glare Reduction |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Dual Reflective 25% | 26% | 99% | 61% | 71% | 69% |
| Dual Reflective 35% | 37% | 99% | 44% | 58% | 59% |
What these numbers mean
VLT = visible light that passes through. TSER = total solar energy rejected. IR = infrared heat rejection. Glare = percentage of glare blocked. Lower VLT means a darker film with more privacy, heat, and glare control.

DWY surcharge = $3.00 × roll square footage
The surcharge applies to the full roll area, not your window area. This covers cutting, layout planning, labeling, and repackaging. For projects over 250 adjusted sqft, we recommend a DFY full-service quote instead.
