What Is Quantum?
Quantum is a dark film series built in a Quantum/Silver/Quantum (QSQ) layer construction. It gives a dark look with relatively low reflectance, especially Quantum QSQ 20.
It is a strong option for privacy, glare and heat, and for rooms where you want the window to feel darker without a full mirror finish.
It comes in two shades: Quantum QSQ 10 and QSQ 20.
Warranty: Solar Gard manufacturer warranty, terms confirmed in your quote.
Great for
- Bedrooms and media rooms
- Street-facing windows that need privacy
- Strong glare on screens
- Protecting interiors from fading
Think twice if
- You want rooms to stay bright
- You want the glass to look unchanged
- You need privacy at night (no film does this)
