Common questions about solar, privacy and security window film, performance, durability, installation and pricing.
Costs depend on the type of film, the size and number of windows, and access. As a guide we price per project rather than per square metre. Send a few photos and rough measurements and we'll provide a free, no-obligation estimate, usually within 24 hours.
Yes. Solar control film reflects and absorbs a significant portion of the sun's energy before it enters the room, which noticeably reduces heat build-up and makes spaces more comfortable in summer.
High-performance solar films can reject a large proportion of solar heat. The exact figure depends on the film and your glazing, and we'll recommend the right grade for your goals during your quote.
Not necessarily. Many solar and UV films are virtually clear and keep rooms bright while cutting heat and glare. If you want more privacy or shading, we can specify a tinted or frosted option to suit.
Standard reflective privacy film works best in daylight. At night, when it's darker outside than in, reflective films are less effective, so for night-time privacy we'd usually recommend a frosted or blackout style. We'll advise on the best choice.
In most cases, yes. We'll check your glazing type during the quote, as a small number of sealed units require specific films to avoid thermal stress, and recommend a suitable product.
Quality professionally-fitted film typically lasts many years. Lifespan varies by film type and exposure, and reputable films are backed by manufacturer warranties.
Most films are fitted to the inside of the glass, which protects them and gives the longest life. Where interior fitting isn't suitable, we offer exterior-grade films.
Yes. By filtering up to 99% of UV rays, window film helps slow the fading of furniture, flooring, curtains, artwork and stock.
Many domestic jobs are completed in a single visit. Larger commercial projects may take longer, and we'll give you a clear timescale with your quote.
Yes. Film can be removed by a professional if needed, and the glass cleaned, though quality film is designed to give many years of service first.
