What is an anti-glare film?
Simply apply it to reduce surface glare, minimize reflections, and enjoy a clear view!Anti-glare film is designed to suppress surface light reflection, providing a clear and easy-to-see view. It is ideal for applications where glare is a problem, such as displays and storefront windows. We offer a lineup of four types
, allowing you to choose the optimal combination for your specific application and purpose.Apply to both
sides to reduce reflections!
The optimal combinationof double-sided films for your applicationAnti-glare film achieves its full glare-reduction effect when applied to "both sides" of the glass. Since reflected
light occurs on both sides of the glass, applying it to only one side is insufficient to effectively suppress glare. Applying it to both sides significantly improves visibility. Additionally, since each product has different characteristics—such as reflectivity, the presence of a hard coat, and outdoor compatibility—it is important to select the appropriate combination based on your specific application.

Application Examples
Rekiseisha New Showroom
SF-1520HG + SF-1520HG
Rekiseisha, located in Hiroshima Prefecture, used our low-reflection film to reduce glare (reflections) from external light on the glass surfaces of their new showroom, "HAKU SHOP." We installed the outdoor-grade SF-1520HG on both sides of the glass. Applying the low-reflection film minimizes glare, allowing the exhibits inside to be seen clearly.
suha Asagaya
SF-1520HG + SF-1300H
We installed low-reflection film on the glass surfaces of "suha Asagaya," an architectural design firm and community space. We applied SF-1300H on the interior side and SF-1520HG on the exterior side. Before installation
, strong reflections on the window glass made it nearly impossible to see inside from the outside. However, applying the low-reflection film significantly reduced reflections, allowing the interior to be clearly seen even through the glass.

Other Applications!
Aquariums
SF-1000 (Single-sided application)
Applying SF-1000 to aquariums leverages the industry’s highest level of low reflectivity, significantly reducing water surface reflections and glare from lighting. Since aquariums contain water, applying the film to the outer surface alone is sufficient to achieve the desired effect, allowing for a clearer view of the creatures and exhibits inside. If ease of maintenance is a priority, we also recommend SF-1300H with a hard coat.
Acrylic Boxes
SF-1000 + SF-1000
When applied to an acrylic box, it delivers the industry’s highest level of low reflectivity from both sides, significantly reducing glare from external light and surrounding reflections. Since it clearly displays the true colors and textures of exhibits, this specification is ideal for display cases where clear visibility of fine details is required, such as for artworks, product samples, and models.
Outdoor Monitor
SF-1520HG + SF-1000
By applying the highly weather-resistant SF-1520HG to the exterior side and the industry-leading low-reflection SF-1000 to the interior side, glare from sunlight, external light, and indoor lighting is significantly reduced. This ensures stable visibility even on outdoor drive-thru displays and informational monitors in commercial facilities, creating an environment where displayed content can be clearly viewed.
