What is the difference?
Hüper Optik's innovative approach resulted in a totally new type of window films
for the prestige market around10years ago.The benefits of using nano-technology
in window films created a far superior film in performance,without any of the draw-
backs from earlier versions. Effective and aesthetically pleasing window films play a
large part in reducing energy consumption, a topic becoming more prominent.
Here are some facts:
- Optical clarity. Ceramic films have no distortion or haze effect, unlike the multi-layer
optical or metallised films.
- Huper Optik films qualify for Energy Rebates in the USA.
- Huper Optik films do not have a noticeable "blue shift". Other films alter the hues to
a bluer colour, changing the ambiance of a room.
- Huper Optik films are tested using industry standards, allowing true comparisons.
Some use their own innovative tests to look good.
- Huper Optik films are NFRC rated, the second only to achieve this prestigious acclaim.
- Ceramic films have a durable colour fast,scratch resistant coating.They do not contain
IR absorbing dyes for performance.
- Ceramic films are non-reflective,will not interfere with electronics and are non-corrosive,
even in a coastal or marine environment.
