What Clear View Alloy is for
Clear View Alloy sits between the low-reflectance ceramic films and the stronger reflective families. It is worth comparing when you want more heat rejection than ceramic but do not want a mirror finish.
It suits living rooms, offices and storefront glass that needs a balanced look.
Appearance and tradeoffs
- Reflectance rises as the shade darkens; compare the exterior reflectivity column.
- XPEL's chart calls for edge sealing of this series within 25 miles of the ocean.
- Darker shades reduce glare but admit less daylight.

Clear View Alloy questions
Alloy or ceramic?
Compare the TSER and exterior reflectance columns. Alloy shades generally reject more solar energy at a similar shade, with more reflection.
Does Alloy look like a mirror?
Not like silver film, but it is more reflective than ceramic. A sample on your glass is the best guide.
