Tall building with a blue reflective glass façade against a dark-blue sky.
Architectural glass · Type AG · ten tints

Architectural window film: heat, glare and project-specific selection.

Type AG offers ten tints with visible light transmission (VLT) from 3% to 37%. Use the tint table to balance daylight, glare and daytime privacy for your glazing.

The range

Ten tints, with data for each option

Use Type AG 03 for lower visible light transmission and Type AG 37 for more daylight. Compare each tint on the glazing planned for your project.

Values are listed separately for each tint; do not transfer one tint’s data to another or treat IRR as total solar-energy rejection. Discuss specifications and application guidance →

Selection

Match the tint to the glazing and project

Final selection depends on glass build-up, orientation, lighting and project requirements. Request the relevant model data and assess a sample on the actual glass before specifying.

Project planning

From survey to handover

A glazing survey identifies glass type, edge conditions and access so the installation team can select the film and plan the work.

01

Survey

Record glass build-up, orientation, frame depth and seal condition.

02

Specify

Confirm the model, tint and areas for each elevation, with a sample assessment on the actual glass.

03

Install

Confirm the application side, edge details, installation solution and curing conditions under the product-specific guidance.

04

Handover

Agree on care instructions, the film schedule and any model-specific warranty documentation.

Film, replacement glazing or blinds?

Compare initial cost, access, disruption and replacement needs for the actual building; no universal lifetime-cost saving is assumed.

Specifier questions

Before specifying

Can film be applied to existing double glazing?
Compatibility must be assessed for the exact glass make-up, coatings, condition and thermal-stress risk. Send the glazing details before selecting the film; do not assume every double-glazed unit or interior surface is suitable.
Does the mirror effect provide privacy at night?
Reflective film provides daytime privacy when the exterior is brighter. Add blinds or shades for privacy when interior lights make the room brighter than outside.
How is installation time estimated?
Timing depends on area, glass access, preparation, edge details and curing requirements. Discuss a project-specific schedule rather than assuming a fixed number of hours or days per elevation.
Do you supply rolls or project quantities?
Discuss roll supply for distributors and installers or quantities based on a project film schedule. Confirm model-specific specifications, dimensions and the documents required for the quotation.
Next step

Send the elevation details to discuss a film schedule.

Share glass build-up, orientation and the issue to address. Discuss the suitable models and sample availability for assessment on the actual pane; no universal safety, compliance or energy-saving result is promised.
