Differs between Glass window film and architectural window film
Glass window film and architectural window film are two related but not entirely identical concepts.
Glass window film is a type of thin film, usually made of polyester substrate (PET), and added with a metal layer or other functional layer through vacuum coating or sputtering technology. This type of film can be applied to the window glass of buildings, providing insulation, UV protection, reducing glare, increasing privacy, and providing safety protection. Glass window film can help improve the performance of existing glass, save energy, and may also help reduce the frequency of use of air conditioning and other equipment.
Architectural window film is a broader concept that includes but is not limited to glass window film. Building window film can be a type of film made from various materials, aimed at improving the overall performance of building windows. In addition to providing functions similar to glass window films, some advanced building window films may also have better durability, scratch resistance, and longer service life.
In general, "glass window film" refers more to the thin film attached to the surface of the glass, while "building window film" may be an improvement to the entire window system, including frames, seals, and other possible performance enhancement measures. However, these two terms may sometimes be used interchangeably in practical use, so the specific product characteristics and applications still need to be determined based on the actual situation.
