What Exterior Blend DR is for
Exterior Blend DR is for intense, low-angle sun on glass that should be treated from the outside: west elevations, upper-floor offices and rooms with no practical interior access to the glass.
It is the exterior counterpart to the darker interior Blend DR shades.
Appearance and tradeoffs
- Very low light transmission: the master sheet lists 5% VLT. Rooms will be much dimmer.
- Reflective exterior appearance; check building or HOA standards.
- Exterior exposure means planned maintenance and care.

Exterior Blend DR questions
Is Exterior Blend DR a privacy film?
It gives strong daytime privacy because outside is brighter than inside. At night, with lights on, people outside can see in.
Can it be used on any window?
No. Exterior access, glass type and condition all need review, and the specific product and glass combination must be checked first.
