What is the difference between V-KOOL k14 and k15?
2 Answers
The differences between V-KOOL k14 and k15 are as follows: Different heat insulation: Both perform well, but X15 is slightly better, being a higher-grade top-tier film. Different colors: X15 leans towards black, while K14 has a greenish tint. Different appearances: K14 has more noticeable mirror-like reflection effects compared to X15. Different prices: Without considering the windshield, X15 is more expensive than K14. It can be seen that the main differences between V-KOOL X15 and K14 lie in their visual effects. X15 has better texture and more aligns with most people's aesthetic preferences. They are similar in other aspects, such as having basically the same light transmission and both offering a 5-year warranty.
I've been choosing V-KOOL heat insulation film for several years. The main difference between K14 and K15 lies in light transmittance. K15 has 15% light transmittance while K14 only has 14%. Although the 1% numerical difference seems small, it actually affects real-world performance. K14 appears darker, providing a slightly deeper view from inside the car with stronger privacy protection, especially during intense summer sunlight when it offers better temperature control inside the vehicle. K15 is slightly brighter, giving marginally clearer visibility when driving at night, which helps reduce visual fatigue to some extent. Both models offer high heat insulation efficiency with identical 99% UV blocking capability and similar durability. The choice depends on personal preference - I've tried K15 on suburban night roads where it provides more peace of mind with less reflection when using high beams; K14 offers better privacy for urban use. The installer reminded me that too low light transmittance might violate some local regulations, but it's fine for side windows. V-KOOL's quality is reliable, just make sure it fits your budget. Price-wise, K14 is slightly more expensive, but both offer excellent overall value for money.
