What are window films?
Windows are an integral and welcome feature of buildings, whatever their age. But there can be negative consequences associated with glass. These include temperature extremes, loss of energy, glare, fading of furnishings, privacy, plus of course safety issues.

Window films are the simplest and most economical way to combat these problems, while at the same time enhancing the benefits of glass.

Solar Control

Solar Control Films
Solarshade solar films are specifically designed to combat the following common problems associated with the Sun's rays.

Temperature Control
Interiors can heat to uncomfortable temperatures or sometimes can be too cool. Window films overcome these extremes and maintain a pleasant environment.

Alleviate Glare
Strong light can be a big problem, especially for screen users. Window films safeguard against tiredness, eye strain and low productivity, eliminating the need to close curtains or blinds.

Energy Efficiency
Window films reduce the need for expensive heating and air conditioning systems with potentially significant cost savings and reducing your carbon footprint.

Conservatory Shading
The increase in the popularity of conservatories has highlighted the problem of excess heat gain through roof glazing. Solar control films can be applied to reflect away from unwanted heat and glare.

Coolkote is our solar coating specially suited to conservatories or industrial premises with large areas of glazing and can reduce daytime temperatures.

Safety and Security
Each year there are in excess of 35,000 accidents relating to glass, and your company could be held responsible for any accidents that happen in the workplace. It is a legal requirement that safety glazing must be used where vulnerable glass is situated in public or working areas, i.e. up to waist height in glazed screens and shoulder height in all doors.

An installation of Solarshade safety film CLX400SR onto the glass is an acceptable method of upgrading your glazing to comply with building regulations BS6206B.

Promoting Safety
Glass safety films are a means of complying with current regulations. In the event of damage, the film holds the glass together and prevents flying fragments from inflicting injury.

Class ‘A’ Security Films:
Class ‘A’ Security Films ensure that damage from vandalism or explosion is minimalised as the glass stays in one piece if shattered.

Solarshade Mirrored Silver Safety Film:
Creating a one way mirror finish to improve security (light levels to be greater on the side requiring the mirror) along with shatter resistance. This is a popular film accomplishing an all round solution.

Glass Manifestation Logos and Window Graphics
Glass manifestation film products are for upgrading glazing in accordance with Health and Safety recommendations, which advocate the marking of large uninterrupted areas, such as showrooms.

Manifestation marking can take the form of dots, squares, stripes or bespoke designs repeated at appropriate intervals or heights.

Window Film Graphics and Logos
Window films can also be used to produce personalised window graphics for long term or temporary application to glass.

Company logos can be used repeatedly to reinforce a corporate identity programme or for manifestation of large glazed panels.

The logo or design can be made in the appropriate film (e.g. acid etch effect) and applied to plain glass or, alternatively, reverse cut out of a filmed panel.

Conservatory Cooling
If your conservatory is getting too hot or uncomfortable during the summer months, then maybe our range of Solar Control films will be able to help.

As our films reject a large percentage of the Sun’s energy from actually coming into the conservatory in the first place it is much easier to maintain comfortable temperatures all year round.
