    As above it will no doubt reduce the heat and glare but not eliminate it. 

    The problem you have is proving how much elimination you were promised as to what the reality is.

Its surface #1 self-cleaning coating has photo-catalytic and hydrophilic properties. The unique blue colour helps to keep internal temperatures cool whilst still maintaining excellent light transmittance, low light reflection and high energy absorption. Pilkington Activ™ Blue offers medium solar control performance helping to create a cooler internal environment which can be used all year round.

    Pilkington Activ™ Blue can be used in a variety of commercial and residential applications, including doors, windows, roof-lights and glass facades.

Its self-cleaning properties make it ideal for use in hard-to-reach places that are difficult to clean.


    The only way to reduce glare is via polarization, but even then the filter has to be in the right direction to mitigate the effect of the glare.
