Window Films & Tinting Solutions

High-VLT solar control window film is a self-adhesive architectural film applied to the interior glass surface of homes and offices in Malaysia to reduce heat gain and glare while admitting 60–70% of visible light. Nano-ceramic and spectrally selective constructions reject ≥60% infrared and ≥99% UV without a metallic layer, so they do not interfere with mobile, GPS, or RFID signals. Tested per NFRC 200 / ASHRAE 74; TSER typically 40–60%. Supplied in architectural rolls (60 in or 72 in wide × 100 ft) and installed per sqft. Typical lifespan 10–15 years.

Exterior-applied solar control window film is designed for installation on the outside face of glass — essential where interior access is restricted, such as sealed double-glazing units, structural glass curtain walls, and atrium skylights in Malaysia. The UV-stabilised, weather-resistant polyester substrate and scratch-resistant hard coat withstand Malaysia's high UV index and tropical humidity. VLT range 14–50%; TSER up to 74%; UV rejection ≥99%. Rejects solar heat before it enters the glass pane. Typical service life 5–10 years (shorter than interior film due to greater UV and moisture exposure). Brands include LLumar Exterior and 3M Prestige Exterior. Installed per sqft. HS 3919909200 · import duty 20% · SST 10%.

4-mil clear safety window film is a 100-micron polyester laminate applied to existing glass in Malaysian homes, offices, and shower screens to hold fragments together after breakage, reducing injury risk from flying shards. It does not prevent glass from breaking but provides basic safety compliance and a few seconds of entry delay against opportunistic smash-and-grab. UV rejection ≥99%. Tested per ANSI Z97.1 / BS EN 12600. Supplied in rolls (60 in or 72 in wide × 100 ft) and installed per sqft. Thinnest practical safety film grade; suitable for low-risk residential and commercial applications. HS 3919909200 · import duty 20% · SST 10%.

8-mil clear security window film is a 200-micron polyester laminate providing meaningful smash-and-grab deterrence for storefronts, bank counters, jewellery display cases, and government facilities in Malaysia. The thicker laminate extends the time to breach glass to 30–60 seconds, allowing alarm response. UV rejection ≥99%. Often combined with a wet-glaze attachment system that anchors the film to the window frame for maximum fragment retention. Standard specification for commercial security upgrades. Supplied in rolls (60 in or 72 in wide × 100 ft) and installed per sqft. HS 3919909200 · import duty 20% · SST 10%.

12-mil safety/security window film is the thickest widely-specified construction-grade window film, designed for high-security environments including embassies, data centres, critical infrastructure, and blast-hazard zones in Malaysia. The 300-micron multi-ply polyester laminate provides the longest forced-entry delay (1–3 minutes) of standard film grades and can complement blast-resistant glazing design. Premium variants are blast-mitigation rated per GSA/ASTM F1642. UV rejection ≥99%. Available in clear or tinted finishes. Typically specified with a wet-glaze or mechanical attachment system. Supplied in rolls (60 in or 72 in wide × 100 ft) and installed per sqft. HS 3919909200 · import duty 20% · SST 10%.

Anti-graffiti (surface protection) film is a clear or frosted sacrificial layer applied to glass, mirrors, stainless steel, and polished stone surfaces in Malaysian public transport, LRT/MRT stations, public toilets, lift interiors, and retail shopfronts. When vandalised by paint, acid, or scratching, the damaged film is peeled off and replaced — protecting the substrate beneath from permanent damage. 4–6 mil optically clear polyester with a hard-coated exterior surface; scratch, acid, and marker-resistant; UV block ≥99%. Supplied in rolls (60 in × 100 ft) and installed per sqft. Clear and frosted (toilet-screen) variants available. HS 3919909200 · import duty 20% · SST 10%.

Frosted/etched decorative window film replicates the appearance of acid-etched or sandblasted glass at a fraction of the cost, applied to office partitions, meeting-room glass, shopfronts, shower screens, and residential windows in Malaysia. The translucent white or frosted finish (VLT 30–60% diffused) admits natural light while providing daytime privacy. Available in plain frosted, gradient, patterned, and custom-printed variants. Leading brands in Malaysia include 3M Fasara and LLumar Specialty Series. Supplied in rolls (typically 60 in × 50 ft or 100 ft) and cut to size per sqft. Not recommended for direct west/south sun exposure on vinyl substrate. HS 3919909200 · import duty 20% · SST 10%.

Decorative coloured/patterned window film transforms plain glass into branded, wayfinding, or design features for shopfronts, office reception glass, lobby partitions, and exhibition walls in Malaysia. Solid-colour films in red, yellow, blue, green, opaque black, and white simulate stained glass effects; inkjet-printed variants carry full-colour CMYK graphics, logos, and text on 60-in-wide vinyl. UV-stabilised, colour-fast inks on solvent or UV-cured vinyl/polyester base. Removable and repositionable grades available for temporary signage. Supplied and installed per sqft or cut-to-size per piece. HS 3919909200 · import duty 20% · SST 10%.

One-way mirror/reflective privacy window film creates a mirrored exterior finish on commercial glazing, office buildings, and hotel façades in Malaysia, blocking outside view during daylight hours while maintaining the interior outward view. Sputtered metallic (silver, bronze, or gold) or nano-ceramic reflective coating on PET substrate; exterior visible reflectance (EVR) typically 30–60%; VLT 10–40%. Also provides solar heat rejection. Note: the privacy effect reverses at night when interior lighting is brighter than outdoors — for 24-hour privacy, a blackout or opaque film is required. Supplied in rolls (60 in × 100 ft) and installed per sqft. HS 3919909200 · import duty 20% · SST 10%.

Standard dyed or carbon automotive window tint film reduces glare and solar heat inside vehicles and is supplied to tinting installers across Malaysia in rolls or as pre-cut vehicle-specific kits. VLT range is 20–70%; UV rejection ≥99%. Malaysian JPJ regulations require windscreen VLT ≥70% and front side windows VLT ≥50%; rear windows carry no minimum VLT. Non-compliance carries fines up to RM2,000 for a first offence. Dyed construction is the budget option; carbon provides better fade resistance. Supplied in rolls (20 in × 100 ft for side windows; 60 in × 100 ft for rear/windscreen) or per-vehicle pre-cut kits. HS 3919909200 · import duty 20% · SST 10%.

Premium nano-ceramic automotive tint film delivers high infrared rejection (≥80%) and near-total UV blocking (≥99%) at VLT 40–70% without a metallic layer, preserving GPS, mobile signal, and ETC transponder performance in vehicles. The preferred grade for newer Malaysian vehicles with embedded antenna glass. Non-metallic construction eliminates signal interference — the key differentiator from dyed and carbon films. Popular brands in Malaysia include 3M Crystalline, V-KOOL (VK-70), LLumar CTX, and Suntek CIR. Must comply with JPJ VLT regulations (windscreen ≥70%, front side ≥50%). Supplied in rolls or pre-cut kits per sqft. HS 3919909200 · import duty 20% · SST 10%.

PDLC (Polymer Dispersed Liquid Crystal) smart film is a self-adhesive, retrofittable switchable film that makes existing glass alternate between opaque (frosted, OFF state) and transparent (ON state) via electrical current. Used in Malaysian meeting rooms, hospital wards, hotel bathrooms, residential glass doors, and premium partitions. Operates at 110–220V AC with power draw under 6 W/m²; controlled by switch, dimmer, remote, or automation system. Haze ≥75% when opaque; VLT typically 70–80% when clear.
