How to Read an Infrared Window Tint Specification Sheet

- Check the wavelength behind the IR claim
- Look for TSER and VLT on the same sheet
- Record the product, shade, glass, and warranty
IR rejection is one measurement, not the whole result
An infrared figure describes the portion of the spectrum used by that test. It does not automatically mean the film rejects the same percentage of all solar energy. Compare the wavelength, test glass, shade, and related TSER data.

Use the actual glass instead of a stock assumption
A high IR headline may be useful for a narrow comparison, but a buyer also needs VLT, UV, warranty, and broader solar information to understand the finished choice.
Common questions
- Does 99% IR rejection mean 99% total heat rejection?
- No. IR rejection and total solar performance are different measurements. Ask for the complete specification sheet and comparable test conditions.
