Prestige vs Night Vision at a Glance
The core trade-off is clarity versus privacy:
- Heat rejection: both reject high levels of infrared heat
- Clarity: Prestige is near-invisible; Night Vision has a reflective daytime look
- Privacy: Night Vision provides strong daytime privacy; Prestige does not
- Reflectivity: Prestige is low-reflective; Night Vision is dual reflective
- Price: Prestige is premium; Night Vision is mid-range — both within $10–$18/sq ft
When to Choose Prestige
Choose Prestige when clarity and views matter most:
- Maximum heat rejection with the lowest visible tint
- Preserving views in Beverly Hills, Malibu, and Santa Monica
- Clients who want near-invisible film
- Premium residential and commercial applications
When to Choose Night Vision
Choose Night Vision when daytime privacy is the priority:
- Daytime privacy is important
- West-facing storefronts and offices
- Clients who don't mind a slightly darker, reflective appearance
- More budget-conscious than Prestige
LA-Specific Guidance
For most LA residential clients, Prestige 70 is our top recommendation — it blocks heat without sacrificing the view. For commercial clients who want daytime privacy, Night Vision 25 or 35 is often the better fit.
