Ceramic window films are made of non-metallic ceramics designed to absorb heat. These products are lighter and tend to be less noticeable on the glass. Ceramic products provide fade protection and some heat protection, usually 50-60%.
Metal window films are made of different sputtered metals designed to reflect heat. In addition to fade protection, these products can provide shading as well as more heat protection and daytime privacy. Metal films can block up to 84% of the heat.
