What Bronze is for
Bronze is chosen when a reflective film suits the job but silver looks too cold for the building—stucco homes, earth-toned commercial buildings and matching existing bronze glass.
It reduces glare and solar heat and gives daytime privacy.
Appearance and tradeoffs
- The warm tint is visible from inside and changes how outdoor colours look.
- Daytime privacy only.
- Bronze 40 is listed at 31% VLT—darker than its name suggests.
