FAQ

Common questions about our films

What is HP Charcoal window film?

HP Charcoal is a high-performance dyed/metalized hybrid film with a deep charcoal appearance. It rejects 99% of UV rays, reduces glare, and offers solid heat reduction at a budget-friendly price. It's a strong everyday upgrade over basic dyed film and resists the purple fading common to cheap tints.

What is VortexIR window film?

VortexIR is a nano-ceramic film with infrared (IR) rejection technology. It blocks the heat you actually feel from the sun without a dark or mirrored look, contains no metal so it won't interfere with GPS, cell, or radio signals, and rejects 99% of UV rays. It's our entry point into true ceramic performance.

What is XenithIR window film?

XenithIR is a premium nano-ceramic film engineered for high heat rejection, long-term color stability, and crisp optical clarity. It rejects 99% of UV rays, delivers elevated IR and Total Solar Energy Rejected (TSER) numbers, and is backed by a lifetime warranty on automotive installs.

What is TrueVue window film?

TrueVue is a dual-reflective window film — not a ceramic film. It uses a reflective exterior layer for strong heat and glare rejection paired with a low-reflective interior so your view stays clear from inside. It blocks 99% of UV rays and delivers excellent solar performance, making it a great fit for homes and businesses that want serious heat control without a mirrored interior look.

What is PureVue window film?

PureVue is our flagship nano-ceramic film and our highest-performing option for heat rejection, clarity, and color stability. It delivers maximum IR and TSER performance, blocks 99% of UV rays, and is backed by a 12-year residential/commercial flat-glass warranty. It's the choice for clients who want the best comfort and protection available.

Which film blocks the most heat?

PureVue blocks the most heat overall, followed by XenithIR, then VortexIR on the ceramic side. TrueVue (dual-reflective) also delivers very strong heat rejection, and HP Charcoal provides solid heat reduction at a value price point.

Do these films block UV rays?

Yes. Every film we install — HP Charcoal, VortexIR, XenithIR, TrueVue, and PureVue — blocks 99% of harmful UV rays, helping protect your skin and prevent interior fading.

Which films are ceramic and signal-friendly?

VortexIR, XenithIR, and PureVue are nano-ceramic films with no metal content, so they won't interfere with GPS, cell phone, Bluetooth, or radio signals. TrueVue is a dual-reflective film (not ceramic), and HP Charcoal is a dyed/metalized hybrid.

Which films come with a lifetime warranty?

XenithIR carries a lifetime warranty on automotive installs. PureVue, TrueVue, and other flat glass films (residential and commercial) are backed by a 12-year warranty.

What's the difference between VortexIR, XenithIR, and PureVue?

All three are nano-ceramic films. VortexIR is the entry-level ceramic — great IR rejection at a strong value. XenithIR steps up with higher IR and TSER performance and premium clarity. PureVue is the flagship, offering the highest heat rejection, best optical clarity, and maximum color stability we offer.

What's the difference between TrueVue and PureVue?

TrueVue is a dual-reflective film — reflective on the outside for heat rejection, low-reflective on the inside for a clear view out. PureVue is a nano-ceramic film — non-reflective and signal-friendly, with the highest overall heat rejection and clarity. Pick TrueVue when reflectivity is welcome for privacy and solar performance; pick PureVue when you want a near-clear, non-reflective look with maximum comfort.
