Made from thicker PET material imported from Europe and North America, it’s designed to cut harmful ultraviolet rays, lower solar heat gain, reduce glare and add a shatter-retardant layer to your windows without adhesives that leave residue.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does this film protect against sun damage and glare?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe HIDBEA film blocks a large portion of UV and infrared radiation to slow fading and reduce harsh light.
