L’alternative au ventilateur n°1 : le film solaire sur mesure

The benefits of solar film :

- Energy savings (less air conditioning, less fan) ;
- Easy installation and immediate effect;
- Aesthetic, discreet solution.
How does solar film work?
The secret of solar film lies in its metallized technology: tiny particles (aluminum, titanium, silver) embedded in the film reflect some of the sun's rays outwards and absorb others, preventing heat from penetrating the glass. The result? A naturally cooler home without having to live in the dark!
💡Goodto know: The more tinted the film, the more effective it is against heat! It's up to you to find the right balance between protection and natural light.
