Let’s first talk about the similarities between building window tint film and car window tint film:
1. They are all pasted on the inside of the glass;
2. The base material is made of PET, and the structure is basically the same;
3. At present, most of the automotive glass films and architectural glass films use the magnetron sputtering process;
4. All have the performance of heat insulation, UV blocking, filtering glare, blue light, safety and explosion protection;
5. The maintenance methods are the same.
Although between building window tint film and car window tint film have many similarities, there are still many differences in subtleties.
1. The thickness is different. Car window tint has higher requirements for light transmittance and clarity, so it is generally not too thick, especially the front stop film, so the car window film is generally between 1.5mil and 3mil. The building window film is usually between 3mil-4mil.
2. The reflectivity is different. The visible light reflection of building window film is often relatively high, and the reflectance of car window film cannot be too high, because too high reflectance will affect the line of sight of drivers and endanger driving safety.
3. The glue used is different. Car window films generally use ordinary adhesives, and building window films mostly use clear raw adhesives.
4. The service life is different. The service life of car window film is about 3-10 years, and the service life of building window film is about 10-15 years.
6. The installation method is different. When car window is filmed, the space is small and the glass surface has a certain curvature. The film surface needs to be baked and shaped first. However, building window is generally flat glass and has a large installation space, so there is no need to bake during installation.
7. The color of the film is different. Car window film is generally natural, green or black, while building window film will be richer in color and can also play a certain decorative role.
