Technology Comparison
Both are non-metallic, but they use different core technology:
- Prestige: multi-layer optical film with patented nano-technology
- Ceramic: ceramic particle technology with proven performance
- Both: no metal, no signal interference, strong UV blocking
Performance Comparison
Prestige delivers the highest heat rejection in the non-metallic line with exceptional clarity. Ceramic delivers excellent heat rejection and UV blocking at a more accessible price — strong performance without the premium cost.
Price
