Safety, Code & Performance
What Visible Transmittance means
Visible Transmittance means the amount of visible light that passes through glass or window film.
Visible transmittance helps customers understand how bright or dark a glass or film choice will feel. Higher visible transmittance means more daylight. Lower visible transmittance can reduce brightness and glare but may also change the appearance of the room or storefront.
This term helps customers understand why glass selection is not only about size and price; safety, comfort, performance, and building requirements can also matter. Use this term when a customer is comparing comfort, code, safety, energy, or sound-control requirements.
