Transitional Window Film
Adaptive to the amount of sunlight on glass, Transitional window films are made using a proprietary manufacturing process resulting in the world’s only “stable photochromic,” light-sensitive film technology. Now you can enjoy clear windows when wanted and slightly tinted glass when needed.
The transitional tint reduces glare when needed, without fully blocking out the view. The advantage is when the tinting is not required, on a dull day or during the night, the tinting produced by the film is minimal, enabling a clear view through the window. When the sun’s rays intensify during a sunny day, the tinting effect works to reduce the glare and heat projected through the window. This greatly increases the comfort level without totally blocking the light like a blind does.
In a newly released study by Future Workplace entitled “The Employee Experience,” over half of the 1,614 North American employees surveyed said natural light and views of the outdoors were their most important office perks, ranking higher than onsite cafeterias, fitness centers, medical care and childcare.

Protection from fading
The transitional tint helps protect fabric and wood furnishings, carpets, art and window displays from the effects of sun bleaching. There are four standard factors for fading colors including:
- UV light: 40%
- Visible light: 25%
- Heat: 25%
- Misc: 10% (including indoor artificial lighting, humidity, chemical vapours in the air and poor dye anchorage)
The sun bleaching effect is caused by the visible light, UV light and heat emitted by the sun causing and exacerbating a chemical reaction within the pigment. These three elements account for 90% of the effect of sun bleaching, all of which can be reduced and controlled using transitional tint. This provides a lower cost and very low maintenance method of managing the effects of fading from sun bleaching.
