Reduce Heat & Glare Without Replacing Your WindowsDoes your home become uncomfortably hot when the sun comes through the windows?
Solar control window film can help reduce the amount of solar energy entering through suitable glazing, making bright rooms more comfortable during sunny weather. It is particularly useful for south-facing windows, conservatories, glazed extensions and rooms where sunlight creates excessive heat or glare. Solar control films work by reflecting and absorbing a proportion of the sun's energy before it enters the room. |

Strong Sunlight Can Cause More Than Just GlareLarge areas of glazing can allow considerable solar energy into your home. On bright summer days, this can make rooms uncomfortable and increase the temptation to keep blinds or curtains closed. If you have south-facing windows, the problem can be particularly noticeable. Solar control film provides a way to manage solar gain while retaining the benefits of your existing windows and natural daylight. |
Reduce Solar HeatSolar control films can help reduce the amount of heat entering through sun-exposed glazing.

Reduce GlareReduce harsh sunlight and reflections that can make TV screens and monitors difficult to see. Certain specialist films can reduce glare by more than 80%.
|
Maintain Natural LightSolar control doesn't necessarily mean making your windows dark. Different films provide different levels of visible light transmission.
|
Reduce UV ExposureMany solar-control films can block up to 99% of UV radiation, helping reduce UV-related fading of carpets, flooring, furniture and other interiors.

Solar Control Film vs Blinds
Keep The View While Controlling The SunBlinds and curtains can reduce sunlight, but they also obstruct the view and reduce natural daylight.
Solar control film works directly on the glazing, allowing you to continue enjoying your windows while reducing excessive solar heat and glare.

Concerned About Sun-Damaged uPVC FramesIf your home has south-facing windows or doors, prolonged exposure to strong sunlight can take its toll on wood-effect uPVC foils. Over time, you may notice bubbling, peeling, cracking or discolouration around the frames. If the foil has already started to deteriorate, simply applying window film won't restore the damaged finish. Foil-Tech can help. We specialise in restoring and refoiling uPVC window and door frames, giving damaged frames a new lease of life without necessarily replacing the complete window or door. If you're already seeing signs of sun damage, take a look at our Refoiling Service to see how we can restore the appearance of your existing frames. |
