Solar Tint Plastic Sheets for Heat & Glare Control

Tinted plexiglass is a versatile type of plastic sheeting that offers protection against the sun by reducing solar glare and UV rays. As such, tinted plastic sheets also reduce the fading of carpet and other fabric, while also reducing your energy bill by keeping indoor spaces warmer in the winter and cooler in the summer. With tinted acrylic, you do not need additional film that could peel or bubble — these benefits are built right in providing a more economical option with no added maintenance. Tinted plexiglass is a solid piece of material that keeps its uniform look over its useful life, saving you money in the long run. Additionally, tinted plexiglass provides the same benefits as traditional plexiglass acrylic, meaning it's stronger, more durable and safer than glass.
