Why Non-Reflective Window Film is Essential for Turf and Siding Protection

Why Non-Reflective Window Film is Essential for Turf and Siding Protection

Turf Shield Window Film specializes in non-reflective window film to protect objects from window reflection melting caused by solar heat gain. This phenomenon occurs when sunlight passes through a window, reflects off a nearby surface, and focuses on an object with enough intensity to cause a heat buildup, leading to melting or warping. Non-reflective window film reduces the reflectivity of windows, preventing heat buildup and damage to synthetic turf, vinyl siding, and other objects. Turf Shield Window Film offers a range of non-reflective window films that are easy to install and improve energy efficiency. By investing in high-quality non-reflective film from Turf Shield Window Film, building owners can protect their property from solar heat gain and enjoy improved comfort and energy efficiency.

Anti-reflective window covering

I bought the install kit. It made things go a lot smoother than I thought

Great customer service

Product was to spec and works great. Customer service was great as well.

Great Product!!! buy if you can

great product and really works, no more glare on to our turf. i had my tint guy out here in AZ (tint mafia) install on just the top halves of windows since the house already had screens on the bottoms and would still allow us to open windows without bugs getting in. hoping i get a few years of use out of it out here in AZ. it seems pricey but looks way better than screens and cheaper than screens.

Clear Screen Film - Anti Reflective Window Film

Did not work

That was a wasted $600.
Was difficult to work with the film and it looked awful when looking through the window from inside home. I also paid and extra $125 dollars for OVERNIGHT shipping and didn’t receive it until 2 days later.

Broken window

I purchased the window film to protect my trees that had been damaged from UV rays from my windows. I read the installation instructions and watched the videos. Instillation was not as easy as it was demonstrated but I completed the process. All was well until the sun hit the window. Once the sun rays hit the window, the glass cracked. I requested a refund for the film as it was the cause of my window breaking but this request was refused by the company because:

“Because your note confirms there are no pre-installation photos and no installation video, there is no way for us—or any third-party reviewer—to independently verify the pre-install condition of the glass or product, so the claim cannot be validated under Section 12. In addition, per Sections 5.5 and 7, installation constitutes acceptance of the product, and any subsequent breakage is expressly the installer’s responsibility.”

The company did offer to give me 30% off on replacement film but I bought enough for two windows so that is not helpful.

Make sure you read all of the fine print. Not only am I out the money for the film but now I also have to buy a new window.

Would like more width options

The product itself is great. Exactly as advertised. I wish the product came in widths that accommodate the size of my windows or close to it. My windows are 33” x 33”. The product roll is 60”. Not wide enough for two windows. Therefore, covering more than one window requires a bit of a patchwork application, which is difficult, time-consuming, and athletically less pleasing to the eye because of the seam.

Excellent Product

Pleasantly surprised how effective this film works. We’re going through a mini heat wave where I live and I don’t see any damage to our artificial grass, which tells me there are no UV rays bouncing from the windows any longer. Another, pleasant surprise was how easy the installation was. Took me no more than 20 mins to install the film on the three separate windows, and that was me taking my time. Probably could have done all three windows in less than 10 mins. Definitely worth the money I spent.

Thank you for your positive feedback on our Reflect Defense White film! We are thrilled to hear that it has effectively protected your artificial grass from UV rays during this heat wave. We pride ourselves on the ease of installation for our products, and we are glad to hear that it only took you 20 minutes to install on three separate windows. Thank you for choosing our film to protect your home, and we appreciate your business.

Works as advertised

Installed on back window that was burning grass with reflection. Easy to install. Works great so far. Quality product.

Dear Merrill,

Thank you for leaving us such a positive review! We are thrilled to hear that our Reflect Defense White film has been effective in reducing the reflection from your back window and preventing further damage to your grass. Our team puts a great deal of effort into designing high-quality solutions that not only perform as intended but also install with ease.

It’s important to clarify that the real culprit behind turf and siding damage is not the visible glare you can see, but concentrated infrared (IR) energy. When glass and coatings create a “hot spot,” IR intensity can rise well above 200°F, which is what causes materials to warp or burn. Our film is engineered to scatter and diffuse that IR energy, lowering the peak intensity so it can no longer cause damage.

While a reflection may still be visible to the eye, what matters is the reduction in thermal concentration — and that’s exactly what Reflect Defense films are built to achieve.

We truly appreciate your feedback, and we’re glad to know our product has made a real difference for you. Thank you for trusting Reflect Defense Window Film.

Best,
Reflect Defense Window Film

It Works!

Based on the reviews abd watching the how to install YouTube video, I bought the clear window screen film with the sticky backing for outdoor use, partly due to the price. This was expensive for me but thought it was worth it to protect my newly installed turf from the desert extreme heat. It was a little tricky at first but the how to video really helped alot. I installed the film and the windows look great. I am happy with it and would recommend.

Great product, easy Installation! Works exactly as advertised

Customer service was wonderful as they helped me track down the package that Federal Express shipped all over the United States.

When the film finally arrived we were excited to get it on the window. My husband watched several videos on how to install the film, but didnt heed the warning about installing it in high temperatures. Yikes! It was not a good fit for just one person trying to install a product like this for the first time. The high temperatures in Las Vegas in August didnt help either. We should have hired a professional installer from the beginning.

That being said about our experience trying to do this ourselves, if you know how to install window films then you probably will not run into the issues my husband had with this product. Also, it is wise to read and abide by the temperture warnings and wait until weather is cool enough to properly install the film.

Easy peasy

With the help of the videos it went on easy. I am waiting for my siding to be replaced to see if it keeps it from melting again.

Hi there, thank you for leaving a review for Reflect Defense Clear! We're so glad to hear that our instructional videos were helpful in applying the film easily. We hope it continues to protect your siding once it's replaced. Let us know if you have any other questions or feedback. Thanks again!

Skylights in RI

Followed the video instructions. All went well. I thought the product overall was easy to work with. Hopefully it will do the job.

Love the product, was easy to in stall as a DIY project. It has clearly reduced the reflection from the window on to my vinyl siding.

Could not of be happier had a problem with the delivery address on my end they called and solved it promptly. A real pleasure to work with.

First batch was great, second time we ordered it (few weeks later) it was different. The second batch didnt have cut lines in the back and seemed way more stretchy, which creases and doesnt lay down as well.

Hi Josh,

Thank you so much for your continued business and for taking the time to leave a review. We truly appreciate your feedback — it helps us improve and ensures we continue providing high-quality solutions.

Regarding your experience with the second batch: we want to assure you that the material is exactly the same as the first. However, if installed in direct sunlight or higher temperatures, the film can feel more pliable and stretchy — this is by design. The film is engineered to expand and contract at the same rate as glass and framing materials, which is essential for long-term performance in outdoor environments.

We understand the missing cut lines on the liner can be an inconvenience, and we’ll keep that in mind for future improvements.

While we always aim for a five-star experience, we’re grateful you took the time to share this with us, and we hope to earn that fifth star on your next order. Thanks again, Josh!

Good

Good

Looks decent

I looks good, you really have to be careful or you get wrinkles in it that do not come out, but from a distance it looks like a reflection.

Just applied today

I had artificial turf installed last month, but the weather has been cool and overcast, so I didn't hurry to apply the film. Now that we are in a sunny heat wave (100s already!), I figured I'd better get it done before summer arrives. I applied the black product to my windows today before it got too warm (low 80s) and before the sun was shining in that area. Overall, the film is pretty easy to apply, but I wish I had applied it in sections on my big window. (Undoubtedly, it would have been easier in sections since I was applying it alone and up on a ladder.) No matter what I did, I got a few wrinkles in the film. With that said, they are not at all visible from inside the house, so I am okay with it. Now I'll see how it holds up with full-west afternoon sun!
