The main ones are reduced solar heat in sunny rooms, less glare on screens and living areas, UV absorption that helps protect furnishings, and daytime privacy where you are overlooked. Safety film adds glass retention if a pane breaks. Which benefits you get depends on the film you choose.

Film reduces the solar energy entering through your glass, so rooms heat up less on sunny days and cooling systems have less to work against. The effect varies with the film, the glazing and how much direct sun a window receives, which is why a dealer will look at your windows before recommending a range.
