Window Film, Tint & Energy Terms

What VLT means

VLT means the common abbreviation for visible light transmitted.

VLT is a short performance label customers often see on window film specifications. For building film, it helps compare how much visible light will pass through after installation. The glossary post should connect VLT to glare, privacy, appearance, and customer comfort rather than presenting it as the only performance number.

This term helps customers compare building window film options for heat, glare, privacy, appearance, UV protection, security, or energy goals. Use this term when explaining heat, glare, privacy, UV, energy-performance, and glass-compatibility decisions for buildings.
