Vision V10
Our most popularVision V10. Embossed for panel stability.
Vision V10 pairs published solar-control data with a formed surface texture. Its embossed structure helps resist wrinkling, creasing and edge cupping. These are Heliotec product facts, not third-party test results.
Embossed surface structure
A formed surface texture across the film, specific to Vision V10.
Resistance to wrinkling and creasing
Helps reduce the surface distortion often encountered in film shade materials.
Edge stability
Helps resist cupping, where the edges curl away from the panel plane.
Line drawings are schematic. Evaluate panel behavior at your intended width, drop and in your chosen shade system.
Film or textile
Film as the shade panel. Not a glass coating.
What is Veilform solar shading film?
Veilform is Heliotec's solar shading film made specifically for use as the shading material in blinds and roller shades. It is supplied in rolls for fabrication, with a custom finished-shade channel also being developed. It is not designed for direct application to window glass.
Solar-control film offers an alternative to woven textile when visible transmission and solar performance are material selection criteria.
Compare film and textile at the same width and drop. Check handling, visible transmission, solar data and fit with the tube, hembar and drive.
- Supplied by Heliotec
- Graphite solar-control film in 1,830 mm rolls, made to form the moving panel of a roller shade.
- Built by the fabricator
- The finished assembly: tube, attachment, hembar, drive and fit to the opening.
Veilform hangs as a shade panel; it isn't an adhesive film for glass. Published figures describe the roll material.

Qualification
Qualify the film in your shade system.
Review the reference
Shortlist from the published figures, usually starting with Vision V10. Note any TBD values you need closed.
Evaluate a physical sample
Ask your Heliotec contact what sample material is available. Look at it in daylight, against the glazing it will face.
Validate your assembly
Build a shade in your own system. Cut, attach, roll, motorise if needed, then watch how it tracks and lies flat.
Confirm supply terms
Agree MOQ, documentation and repeat-order terms in writing before a project depends on them.
Confirm before specifying
- Film handling and cutting method
- Attachment to tube and hembar
- Tube and hembar suitability
- Tracking and flatness across the width
- Roll-up diameter at your drop lengths
- Manual or motorised system requirements
- Maximum width and finished dimensions
- Fire and code documents your market needs
- Glass and shade compatibility for the project
- Cleaning and care guidance
