Solar protection window films are high-performance films applied directly onto existing glass to reduce heat, glare, and harmful UV rays from the sun. By regulating how much solar energy enters a building, these films create a more comfortable environment, lowering cooling costs, and protecting interiors from fading.
Solar films are made from advanced layers of polyester and metalised coatings that control the transmission of light and heat. They work in three main ways:
By blocking up to 80% of solar heat, films keep interiors cooler and reduce reliance on air conditioning.
Solar films reduce glare from direct sunlight and reflections on screens, creating a more comfortable environment in offices, classrooms, and living rooms.
Most films block up to 99% of harmful UV rays, protecting occupants and preventing fading of furniture, flooring, displays, and artwork.
Less need for air conditioning means lower energy bills. Low-E films also provide winter insulation, further reducing costs.
Films help maintain a consistent external look and reduce hotspots of sunlight that can cause discomfort.

Whether you’re looking for a quote or if you’re buying window film to install yourself, you’ll need to know how to acquire the correct sizes for your glass. It’s important to measure to the highest point on custom-shaped windows, as this will allow coverage for the whole glass. It’s also important to note down how many glass panes there are, as this will impact the installation time. Therefore, if you’re not installing yourself, all this information will be vital for an accurate quote.
