The right fit
Heat Rejection Film
Heat-rejection window film is applied to existing glass to reduce solar heat entering a room. Blackridge Film installs solar-control film for homes and businesses across South Florida, from our base in Hollywood. We look at sun exposure, glass type and the finish you prefer before recommending a product. For an afternoon-hot living room or glare at an office desk, the goal is to balance comfort with the daylight and view you want to keep.

Before you decideGood questions.
Good questions.
Clear answers.
Which Solar Gard film should I choose?+
TrueVue offers dual-reflective options; PureVue Ceramic emphasizes low reflectance; Sentinel provides exterior-applied options. We match the product and shade to the glass and your preferred finish.
How much does heat-rejection window film cost?+
Blackridge Film's typical minimum job is $600, depending on distance. Your final price depends on the size, product and complexity of the job. Send your city, window photos and approximate measurements so we can review the scope. The minimum is not a fixed price for every installation.
Will heat-rejection film make my windows dark or reflective?+
The appearance depends on the film and your existing glass. Lighter, low-reflectance options are available. Compare a sample on your window and check visible light transmission alongside solar performance before choosing a shade.
Which performance figures should I compare?+
Compare visible light transmission for daylight, total solar energy rejected for solar control, and solar heat gain coefficient for heat entering through the glazing. A lower solar heat gain coefficient means less solar heat gain. Use figures for the same glass and test conditions. UV rejection alone does not describe heat rejection.
Is heat-rejection Smart Film also available?+
You can request Heat-Rejection Smart Film when you inquire. We will confirm the system and its solar-performance data with the supplier before recommending it.
How much will I save on cooling?+
The effect depends on the glazing, exposure, climate and HVAC use. Film performance figures describe the tested glazing, not a guaranteed percentage reduction in an electricity bill.
Will the film work with my existing glass?+
We check the glass type, coatings, installation face and manufacturer guidance before selecting a film. Low-e, laminated and insulated glass require a product-specific assessment. Share any window labels, existing film details and warranty documents. Compatibility and warranty coverage need to be confirmed for the selected combination.
What do you need to prepare a quote?+
Start with your city or ZIP code, the number of panes, approximate glass measurements and photos showing the full windows and frames. Tell us when the room gets hot, whether glare is a problem and how much daylight you want to keep. Mention high windows, difficult access or existing film. We confirm the glass and measurements before finalizing the scope.
