A neutral window film is a type of window film offered by Meridian Window Tint that has a nearly transparent appearance, meaning it has no significant color or shading. It is designed to minimize the amount of visible light, UV rays, and heat that enters your home while maintaining the natural appearance of your windows.

Unlike other types of window films, which may have a tint or color, a neutral window film does not significantly alter the color or appearance of the windows or the view through them. This type of film is ideal for homeowners who want to reduce heat and glare while preserving the aesthetics of their home.

How Do Neutral Window Films Work?

Neutral window films typically have a low solar heat gain coefficient (SHGC) and a high visible light transmission (VLT). The SHGC measures how much heat is transmitted through the window film, while the VLT measures the amount of visible light that passes through it. The lower the SHGC, the more heat the film will block, while the higher the VLT, the more natural light will be allowed to pass through.

Neutral window films work by selectively blocking certain wavelengths of the sun's radiation, particularly infrared and ultraviolet rays, while allowing visible light to pass through. This reduces the amount of heat and UV rays that enter your home, protecting your furnishings and fabrics from fading and damage, while maintaining a clear view of the outside world.

What are the Benefits of Neutral Window Film?

Overall, neutral window films are a great option for homeowners who want to increase energy efficiency, protect their home's interior, and reduce glare without altering the appearance of their windows. They are a popular choice for homes with expansive windows or beautiful views, as they allow the outside world to be enjoyed to the fullest while keeping unwanted heat and UV rays at bay.
