All the films, except for the Johnson Nightscape 25 and Solar Gard Night Sky 20, are neutral shaded films designed to preserve a natural view out of a window and are constructed using the latest sputter coating or electron beam coating technologies. The Nightscape 25 and Night Sky 20 are dual reflective films designed to reduce internal reflection, particularly at night. All the films are made in the USA and all but one are WERS Energy Rated (See Note 7 below), and similar performance data - all the films block 99% UV and block about 60% of the heat. The other difference between the films is in the external appearance - the Night Vision 25, Daylight Natural 20 and N1020 Neutral are more reflective than the Nightscape 25, Ambiance 25 and Quantum 20 as shown by the Visible light reflected (VLR) albeit, a black reflection rather than silver mirrored reflection.
