The Number Associated with Window Film Names Is the Percent of Visible Light Transmited through Your Window after the Film Is Applied
V-Kool 70
Heat build up and nighttime or daytime visibility (looking out) are maximized with V-Kool 70 due to the high degree of clarity of this window coating. It is virtually clear. It is also well suited to reduce solar heat, and damaging ultra-violet radiation, while maintaining architectural integrity. This is our most popular product.

V-Kool 75
Has most of the advantage of V-Kool 70 with less solar heat rejection. This product will give you the most clarity, with reduced heat rejection versus V-Kool 70. Perfect when ultra-violet radiation is the main objection.

V-Kool 65
Has similar advantage of V-Kool 70, but with less solar heat rejection and slightly less visible light. It is a lower cost solution.

V-Kool 40
When solar heat build up is the primary problem, V-Kool 40 actually stops more heat than is necessary in the Kansas City market place. For extreme and unusual situations V-Kool 40 is available.

V-Kool 35
This is traditional window tinting, as most people think of window tinting. The low-cost solution to stop the heat and ultra-violet rays.

CONSTRUCTION
V-Kool® was originally developed for America's Space and Defense programs. It represents an important breakthrough in surface and partical science. It works through a patented process known as sputtering in which tiny particles of exotic metals are embedded in optically clear, durable polyester film. We use a durable pressure-sensitive adhesive to adhere to the glass and on the other side is a durable Scratch Resistant coating to ensure a long life.

SPECTRUM GRAPH
 V-Kool® is spectrally selective and allows in 73% Visible Light, while blocking over 90% infrared spectrum. This means your window remains Visibly Clear but cuts out 55% of the Solar Heat. No other product can match V-Kool®'s performance. When applied to your windows, V-Kool® forms a virtually clear barrier. That means less need for expensive air conditioning and electric lighting, making V-Kool® a great way to help control soaring energy costs.

POPULAR SCIENCE
It's True! V-Kool®'s spectrally selective technology has been voted as one of the Top 100 inventions of the Millenium, along side other essentials like canned food, the refrigerator, computer, insulation, internet and the telephone*. "For years, windows were a big yawn. Sure, they let in too much cold in the winter and heat in the summer, but c'est la vie. But the introduction of new glazing systems in the early 1980's kicked off a surge in window technology that sparked such enthused descriptions as "Wonder Windows" and Superwindows." Among the dramatic innovations were coatings that let in light but not heat.
The Southwall Heat Mirror, a heat-retaining film, was one of the more dramatic advances." - Popular Science Magazine, November 1999
