What Is NightSky?
NightSky has a warm dark tone with low reflectance on both sides of the glass. That gives you strong glare control and a darker look, without the mirror effect of reflective films.
Low interior reflectance means you still see out clearly at night, which is why NightSky is popular for living areas with views.
NightSky comes in 10, 20 and 30 shades. NightSky 20 is the most popular in the range.
Warranty: Limited lifetime residential warranty or 10-year commercial warranty.
Great for
- Living areas with views you want to keep at night
- Strong glare and screen reflections
- Homes that want a darker look without a mirror finish
- Strata buildings that restrict reflective film
Think twice if
- You want rooms to stay very bright
- You need maximum heat rejection
- You want strong daytime privacy (low reflection means less privacy than mirrored films)

TrueVue rejects more heat and gives stronger daytime privacy, but it is reflective from outside.
NightSky has low reflection on both sides, so your home looks less mirrored from the street. Choose NightSky when the look of the glass matters more than maximum heat rejection.
