Does Conservatory Solar Film Work?

Supertint is a specialist solar control film designed for conservatory glass roofs. It works immediately after installation, reflecting a percentage of the sun’s solar energy to reduce excess heat build-up.

The film provides effective solar control without making the space feel cold, maintaining warmth while rejecting excess heat. During daylight hours, the external surface appears reflective, helping to control heat while preserving natural light and outward views—ideal for south-facing conservatories.

Whichever solution you require, the effects are immediate and far more impressive than more traditional methods such as blinds. As well as being expensive to install and difficult to clean, roof mounted blinds are set back from the glazing, which means even when they are shut, heat is still able to enter the room and add to the temperature.

Blinds (and curtains) also have the added downside of blocking light when closed; conservatory window film has been specially developed to allow as much natural light to pass through the glass as possible. People who have air conditioning in their homes have also noticed the reduced need to run the costly A/C system as often, or for as long.
