About Avery Dennison Opti
Tune 20
OptiTune 20 is a specialized window film designed to manage solar energy. It achieves this by reflecting a significant portion of the sun's heat before it enters the home. The film has a Visible Light Transmission (VLT) of 21%, meaning it allows a controlled amount of natural light inside, reducing harsh glare.
Measurable Performance
The film's Total Solar Energy Rejected (TSER) is 59%, indicating that nearly 60% of the sun's energy is blocked. This directly translates to a cooler indoor environment. The Solar Heat Gain Coefficient (SHGC) is 0.32, a key metric showing how effectively the film prevents heat from entering the building. A lower SHGC signifies better heat rejection.
Exterior Appearance and Privacy
A notable characteristic of OptiTune 20 is its reflective exterior appearance. This provides a clean, modern look to the home. Additionally, the film enhances daytime privacy by making it more difficult for people outside to see into the home, while occupants can still see out.
Professional Installation Benefits
TruView Films completed this installation, ensuring the film was applied correctly to the 13 windows. Proper installation is vital for the film's performance, durability, and clarity. This service helps homeowners in Dayton, Ohio, improve comfort and potentially reduce energy costs associated with cooling.
