Specifications
Performance data from the official Avery Dennison datasheet. Single pane / dual pane (IGU) shown where Avery publishes both.
| Product line | Design Window Film (Avery Dennison) |
| Installation surface | Interior |
| Total solar energy rejected | 84% |
| Visible light transmission | 0% — complete blackout |
| UV rejection | 100% |
| Glare reduction | 100% |
| Glass compatibility | Read carefully. Single pane clear, tinted and laminated — fully tempered glass only. Dual pane (IGU) clear and tinted, Low‑E #3 and Low‑E HP #2 — NOT COMPATIBLE. Do not install. A 0% VLT film absorbs almost all the solar energy hitting the glass; on an insulated unit that heat has nowhere to go and you risk thermal fracture and seal failure. See the full Avery Dennison Film-to-Glass chart → Always confirm the glazing against Avery Dennison’s official FTG chart before installing. |
| Warranty | 5 years — residential | 5 years — commercial (Avery Dennison, North America). Edge sealing required within 10 miles of the ocean. |

Common questions
Why can’t DS Black i go on dual pane?
It transmits no light, so nearly all the solar energy is absorbed as heat in the glass. In a sealed insulated unit that heat builds up against the airspace and the perimeter seal — the classic recipe for thermal fracture. Avery lists it as Incompatible on every IGU configuration.
Can it go on single pane annealed glass?
No. Avery lists it as tempered/heat-strengthened only, even on single pane.
