Tinted glass tends to heat up considerably, making it uncomfortable for people nearby. Most of the heat is absorbed into the glass and only convection from the outside takes it away to some degree.
When we apply window film to clear glass, we minimise the heat absorption and reflect more of it, thus making it more effective.We also block 99% or more of the UV. Window film helps to keep glass in place, in the event of an accident, but is not strong enough to comply with human impact standards, unless designed to do so.
With car tinting, we have this strange problem of restricted tinting, in most cases to 35%, and yet tinted glass can be really dark and still comply..... go figure!

I wanted to get darker windows in Prince George but I had no idea there was a difference! Thanks for explaining!
