This residential window film installation in Stratford-upon-Avon addressed excessive heat build-up by applying a high-performance solar control film to shaped and apex-style windows.
High Reflective Silver Window Film was installed to reduce solar heat entering the property, providing strong heat rejection while allowing clear outward visibility during daylight hours. The mirrored external finish also helped reflect solar energy away from the glass.
Requirement
The homeowner required a solution that would:
-
Reduce heat build-up caused by direct sunlight
-
Work effectively on shaped glazing, including gable end and apex windows
-
Allow continued outward visibility during the day
-
Avoid internal shading systems such as blinds, which were not practical due to window shape
Solution
A solar control solution was specified using High Reflective Silver Window Film, selected for its ability to deliver very high heat rejection while remaining suitable for complex glazing layouts.
The film offers a total solar energy rejected figure of approximately 80%, significantly reducing heat entering the property. Its reflective external finish helps deflect solar energy, while still allowing occupants to see out during daylight hours.
This solution was supplied and installed by The Window Film Company, ensuring the correct film type was selected for both performance and visual impact.
Installation
The installation was carried out by trained technicians with experience working on shaped and non-standard glazing. Each pane was carefully assessed, cleaned, and prepared prior to application.
The process included:
-
Assessment of gable end and apex window geometry
-
Precision cutting and application of High Reflective Silver Window Film
-
Final inspection to ensure consistency, adhesion, and finish
The work was completed efficiently, providing immediate improvements in comfort.
