About Glazing Films & Blinds LTD
Glazing Films & Blinds are specialists in window film, glass manifestation, window graphics, wallcoverings, glazing and commercial blinds. Unprotected glazing can potentially be very dangerous to us all. Without window film or blinds, an ordinary piece of glazing offers little or no protection against the hazards of daily life.
With over 25 years' experience, we are the north east's specialists in the window film, window tinting, window graphics, bespoke wallcoverings, glass manifestation, commercial blinds and glazing industry. We are unique in the fact that we supply and install an extensive range of window film products, commercial blinds and window graphics, as well as providing a full glazing service - providing cost-effective solutions for all glass-related issues all under one roof.
Why Choose Glazing Films & Blinds
We've built our success and reputation on a real desire to give our customers quality products and service alongside great value for money and a polite, friendly service from our head office and fitting team. With our extensive knowledge, we can guide you every step of the way, from glass surveys and samples to advice and information on the latest products in the marketplace.
Window Film
Window film is an ideal solution to many of the heat, glare, safety, security and privacy problems we have through glass. As well as lasting longer and looking better than traditional window blinds, it’s also maintenance free and a much more cost-effective option.
Glazing Films are one of the north east's leading window film and window tinting companies, offering the complete service, from supply and installation to design and print of window film and vinyl. Our head office team are on hand to give advice and guidance, provide quick and easy quotes, whilst our team of experienced fitters can guarantee a professional window film installation whatever film you choose. All of our window films have a scratch resistant coating, unlike cheap, Chinese films that can be purchased on the internet.
Health and safety legislation stipulates that all commercial buildings with full-height glass must have some form of manifestation (graphics) on the glass for public and employees’ safety. Large expanses of clear glass can often be difficult to detect, making them potentially hazardous. Glass manifestation is placed at strategic locations on the glass - the contrast between the manifestation and the glazing making it easy to spot - preventing potential accidents and claims.
Glass manifestation is traditionally created from a frosted film - a classic sandblasted, acid-etched effect, delivering a contemporary, stylish manifestation solution. A range of standard designs are available, including dots, squares and simple stripes. Whilst these designs are popular, stunning effects can be created combining glass and your coporate logo or other designs, making your glass the ideal product to bring an extra design element to your environment.
Commercial Window Blinds
Glazing Films & Blinds provides a complete range of window-shading solutions
for any commercial setting. We are specialists in installing commercial window blinds, delivering cost-effective and highly functional window treatments to create safe, productive and comfortable working environments.
The window blinds we install use the latest fabric technologies and, with our industry specific experience, Glazing Films & Blinds will select the correct window covering to reflect the demands of your environment. Our customers have multiple objectives ranging from compliance with health and safety regulations to controlling glare and heat.
Window blind options include:
We love glass - from high-level glass replacement or a broken window, to back painted coloured glass splash backs and mirrors. As professional commercial and heritage glaziers, Glazing Films undertake works for major retailers and construction companies, replacing broken or outdated glass such as shop front windows, glass canopies and balustrades. We also work for local authorities, universities and schools providing them with a continuous glass maintenance service.
Renovation is essential to bring an old building up to 21st Century standards. Glazing can either be replaced with the latest technologies or heritage glass, or be modified with the use of window film to improve solar control, thermal performance and the safety of the glass in critical locations. Glazing Films is unique in the fact that we provide commercial glazing, heritage glazing and window film solutions without having to subcontract out to other companies.

Kingshouse Hotel, Glencoe | Glazing Films & Blinds
In the remote Scottish Highlands, in the shadow of the looming Three Sisters ridges of Glencoe and perched on the banks of the River Etive, sits a hotel.
The windswept and wild mountainous terrain draws walkers and tourists to its beautiful scenery, which has borne witness to volcanic eruptions, massacres and fierce winter blizzards over the years. Today things are a little safer, although it remains a remote location and the weather can turn on a dime to catch out unprepared walkers.
A sight for sore eyes for many passing through the area, Kingshouse Hotel has sat close to the West Highland Way since the 1750s, providing travellers with a warm place to shelter (and perhaps enjoy a wee nip).
Today a hotel has been added to the original site, along with a restaurant that boasts stunning views that diners love as much as the food. To keep light levels reasonable and to limit the amount of sunlight that enters the floor-to-ceiling windows and makes the room too bright, the architect working on the hotel asked Ken Brown from Glazing Films & Blinds to install some blinds.
A vocal fan of the crank operated roller blind, Ken opted for 54
YewdaleDefiant® R20C blinds with Chalk 5% Screen Fabric for the restaurant, lounge and reception areas.
‘The crank operation meant that the blinds could be put into position down the window and then the crank handle removed to prevent any further adjustment from guests,’ explained Ken.
The views are such a key part of the restaurant, emphasised by the huge windows, that it would almost be a crime to block them out with blackout blind fabric.
‘We needed to protect diners from being blinded by the sunlight,’ said Ken. ‘A blackout fabric would be no use, especially when one of the main draws is the views, so an open weave screen fabric was ideal.’
By using a screen fabric on the blinds, Ken was able to cut out the glare but still maintain the views. However, Ken wanted to involve the hotel owners and architects in the plan as much as possible.
‘Brian at Yewdale kindly organised wide fabric samples for 3%, 5% and 8% screen fabric to be sent to us. They were as wide as the windows so I could stick the samples up and show them the different opacities and let them choose,’ said Ken. ‘It’s good to involve people because it shows you know what you’re talking about and some people might not understand why you used these types of fabrics.’
It took Ken and his team around five hours to install all 54 blinds, which is no small feat by any exaggeration! Ken insists planning and preparation is key to his speed.
‘I lay everything out in front of each window and prepare every blind so everything runs like clockwork,’ said Ken. ‘The blinds are straight forward to install anyway so it was just a case of cracking on and getting the job done!’
After a long day of driving to a remote area and installing 54 blinds, Ken decided he deserved a chance to relax and unwind… with a nine mile run up a mountain followed by a relaxing pint! Perfect!
