The amount of glass used in vehicles today is increasing as drivers demand its improved visibility and aesthetic benefits. While more glass means more light, it also means more heat, and effective solar control has become a significant challenge. Excessive solar heat gain not only decreases driver comfort, but heat sensitive materials left on a dashboard or on a seat can be ruined as interior temperatures can climb as high as 180 °F when parked under the direct sun for an extended period of time.

Southwall's XIR® laminated and applied solar reflective films maximize light transmission while forming a virtually transparent, protective barrier against the sun’s damaging infrared heat.
