Does window film really reduce heat?

Yes. Window film is an effective and stylish way of keeping the heat levels at a comfortable level during hot weather. 

Heat reducing window film has been specially developed to help reduce levels of excess heat, keeping your home, conservatory or office cooler during the summer and other periods of warm weather.

Heat reducing or solar control film is available in a range of finishes, with different appearance characteristics and performance levels. The full collection of solar control window films from The Window Film Company are available for DIY installation, or can be fitted by our teams of fully qualified installers.

Window film reduces heat by reflecting away a percentage of the sun’s solar energy before it can pass through windows and into your room. By reducing the amount of heat that passes through the glass, the temperature rises at a much slower rate, in turn making sure that while your room will not feel cold on a nice day, it also won’t overheat.

Solar control window film delivers this result by having a reflective external appearance. The shiny outside face of the film bounces away solar energy in much the same way as a mirror or reflective sunglasses would. The exact look of the film depends on which you choose, with a range of colours and shades available – there is certain to be something to meet your aesthetic requirements.

While the outside face of the glass will take on a reflective or tinted appearance during daylight hours, this doesn’t mean that your view from the inside out will be obscured. Heat reduction window film from The Window Film Company has been specially designed to be as effective at reducing heat as possible, while still allowing you to enjoy the view from your home or office. The internal appearance will vary from film to film and can change depending on the weather conditions; please feel free to call a member of The Window Film Company’s friendly team on 01494 794477 for more advice on the right solar control window film for you and your situation.

Solar control window film from the Window Film Company has also been developed to ensure that while excess heat is reduced, high levels of natural light are still allowed to pass through the glass. This means that on bright, warm days you can enjoy the benefits of natural light and a view to the outside, without suffering from excess heat and uncomfortable temperatures.

Heat reduction window film is available for home installation; it can be achieved with no prior experience and a few readily available tools. You can check out our DIY fitting guides here. If you’d prefer the fitting was done by one of our vastly experienced and fully qualified fitting teams, call us on 01494 794477 and a member of the team will talk you through the next steps.

In summary, heat reduction film is a cost efficient and highly effective way of managing heat and ensuring your home, conservatory or office doesn’t overheat without blocking the view, without making it dark and without sacrificing natural light.

Keep cool with solar control window film from The Window Film Company.
