Opalux® Reflective Silver 50 solar control film can also provide additional benefits such as uniform outside appearance and as with most Opalux® films up to 99% ultraviolet light (UV) filtering. (For specialist UV filtering in museums etc, see Specialist UV Control Film).

This film can help to reduce cooling costs and therefore Climate Change Levy liability by lightening the load on air conditioning equipment. Government and business organisations can use Opalux® solar control window films as an integral part of seeking to comply with the Carbon Reduction Commitment scheme and The Carbon Trust policies.

It also helps to alleviate the discomfort caused by excessive heat. The film is applied internally and, in daytime, lends the glass a light silver reflective outside appearance, whilst from the inside, the visual effect, much less noticeable, is a light tint.
