One way to reduce the heat inside the car cabin is by installing window film. In tropical countries like Indonesia, using window film is a non-negotiable obligation. Driving in a car during the day on Indonesian roads can feel like entering a sauna room.
Not only to keep the car cabin cool, this window film can also prevent ultraviolet rays and maintain the privacy of car users inside.
Unfortunately, there is an assumption that the darker the window film, the cooler the cabin will be because darker window films are considered better at rejecting heat.
Even though the darker the window film turns out, it doesn't necessarily make it cool or have the ability to reject heat.
Thinking that the darker the window film is, it doesn't necessarily make the cabin cooler.
Window film actually contains the TSER (Total Solar Energy Rejected) value or the heat rejection value that the window film can provide.
The higher the TSER percentage, the better the window film and the cooler the car cabin.
This TSER percentage has no effect on the darkness of the glass or the window tint.
It all depends on the quality and technology of the window film.
It is far different if the window film used is fake, even though the level of darkness is high, it actually still makes the cabin hot because the TSER value is small.
Window films that are too dark are also not good because at night the driver's visibility will be further impaired.
Therefore, you must be careful in choosing a window film with good quality.
