Non Reflective Window Tint's Solve Day/Night Reflectivity Issues
For those who prefer a film with low back shine (low reflectivity) look no further, Clearview offers the clearest and most effective high-end / non-reflective window tinting available on the market.

The term Non Reflective Window Tinting can be considered several things, it all depends on what your needs are. A lightly coated Metal-Based (Reflective) Window Tint can appear non reflective but you lose on the performance level. We would usually recommend this type of tinting for glass that gets non direct sun exposure.

A Dyed Film can certainly appear non-reflective but it will almost certainly change color's on you within a short amount of time. If you have ever seen Purple looking film on automobiles or a commercial building chances are that the film is of a dyed construction. On some tinting materials dyes are mixed in with metal to help lower costs or the reflection on one or both sides.

Clearview specializes in Quality Performance Films, so unless you have a need for Dyed or Light Metal-Based films we recommend high grade Ceramic or Spectrally Selective Window Tints for your Non Reflective needs.

Clearview was the first to introduce the original Patented Multi-Ply Ceramic Window Tinting to the Greater Los Angeles area. Presently (2011) many manufacturers are now offering their own 'Single Ply' (non-patented) version of these popular films. Our original Nano Ceramic films offer the lowest visible light reflection giving the film a very natural earth tone hue and appearance and we're told over and over that they have outstanding overall clarity. A great choice for those that want a natural tinted look and especially coastline homeowners and businesses as Ceramic is an inert and inorganic material. This eliminates any possible corrosion issues due to the exposure of salt air.

Our Spectrally Selective WIndow Films are practically clear, some offer over 70% (VLT), the higher the VLT the lighter the film. Our 70% VLT Tints reject well over half of the suns energy. If you need some Glare reduction with superior Heat properties 40% (medium light) OR 35% (medium tint) Spectrally Selective Window Films are available.

As a side note: Spectrally Selective Window Tinting can also mean reflective. Panorama for instance has a Sterling Film that rejects most of the heat, allows 60% VLT, but high in reflectivity. These films are great for those that need privacy but don't want to darken the glass.

huper-optik-window-film Ceramic 30 Multi-Ply on dual-pane windows. Chosen mainly because of the inferior clarity along with the low reflective properties and high heat rejection. Low reflectivity ensures best viewing of the sunset and nighttime lights and stars. Reflective window tinting could have been used for the protection of furniture and heat issues but these films would have reflected back into the home as soon as the lights are turned on. A Reflective tint although less expensive would have not been the right choice due to the fragile circumstances.

The goal was to allow most of the light to enter the room while protecting furniture and controlling heat. High quality Films reject more of the Infrared Light compared to other films in its class, therefore the best choice for fading.

Keep The Night View

The biggest issue with older Traditional Window Tinting in the past were that the reflective properties of the film would bounce back at you as soon as you turned on your interior lights during nighttime. Imagine this scenario, you hired a company to install a tint that will promise to knock over 70% of the sun's total solar energy, pretty impressive! More impressive is the price, it was so cheap that you decided to cover your entire home. Everything is great, the tinting performed EXCELLENT! You got what you were promised, but, the sales person left one important fact out of the equation, what will happen to that extraordinary view of the city lights when it gets dark? Well, nothing if you enjoy living in the dark and leave your lights turned off, but as soon as you turn them on you realize that your windows have turned into mirrors. The reflection of the metals in the film now bounce back at you, only if you were told this from the beginning, perhaps you would have chosen something different? Premium Non-Reflective Window Tinting solves this.

spectrally-selective-window-tint Premium Non-Reflective Light Film. Heat and Fading were the main concerns and maximum light transmission was a necessity. These films are virtually undetectable and perform excellent. Taken during "June Gloom" this particular customer can now enjoy natural light everyday and anytime during the year with 24 hour protection.

 

Doesn't Change The Aesthetics Of Existing Glass

Another issue solved with these films are the fact that they do not change the appearance of existing glass from the exterior, of course, unless you chose a darker type film. Even so, because of the low reflective properties, many times one can't tell that the windows have been tinted. This is such an important feature that it deserves its own paragraph. Homeowner Associations are for the most, a needed entity and service. These organizations help keep the general value of select neighborhoods to check. You will not find many HOA's that will agree to have shiny tinfoil looking tinting installed to your glass windows no matter how uncomfortable you are. We'll work with your HOA to ensure you're not infringing against certain restrictions. That means choosing a product that makes your HOA happy but most importantly, you!

If you have any questions please call us today, we will be happy to address any concerns you may have. As a reminder, we offer our customers a *free sample installation and (or) sample cards in conjunction with a free estimate.
