Is it true that window tinting film reduces solar heat gain through glass?
Yes. A reference article states that heat-rejection window films reduce infrared, visible and ultraviolet radiation entering windows and reject heat back outside, directly supporting the claim. Other retrieved items cover related glazing and shading technologies that reduce solar heat gain but do not specifically address applied tinting film.
