SHGC: the key heat-control figure
SHGC describes the share of solar heat that enters through the film and glass together. A value of 0.35 means about 35% enters. Lower is better. Compare films on the same glass type. Where SHGC is not listed separately, it is calculated as 1 − TSER ÷ 100.
Total solar energy rejected (TSER)
The share of incoming solar energy kept out by the film and glass. Higher is better. TSER and SHGC describe the same overall solar-heat balance from opposite sides.
Infrared rejection
Infrared is one part of sunlight. Published IR figures may cover a single wavelength or a broader band, so the measurement basis matters. SHGC is the more useful overall heat-control comparison. A dash means a verified IR figure is unavailable.
Glare and visible light
Glare reduction describes the reduction in visible brightness. Visible light transmission (VLT) describes how much light passes through. A lower VLT usually gives a darker view; a shade name is not always a measured VLT.
UV rejection
The percentage of ultraviolet light blocked by the film and glass. Strong UV protection helps protect furnishings, but visible light and heat also contribute to fading.
How the fade estimate works
Where a manufacturer provides a fading reduction estimate, we show that published figure and identify its source. Otherwise, the labelled AWT estimate weights UV rejection at 40%, glare reduction at 25% and TSER at 25%, rounded to the nearest 5%. Neither estimate guarantees a particular reduction in fading; materials, lighting and exposure affect the outcome.
