Multiple benefits

An application of window film can deliver multiple benefits, including heat and glare reduction and UV protection.

Range of finishes and appearances

Choose from a range of films to deliver an appearance that matches your premises, alongside high performance.

  • How much glass?

    Your premises should have at least 200m2 of glazing for an energy efficiency survey to be appropriate.

  • What proportion of glass?

    If glazing makes up a large proportion of your building's elevation, then you could save money with window film.

  • Existing air conditioning

    To quantify the savings achievable with window film, your premises should have an air conditioning system, ideally with a separate metred energy supply for heating and cooling.

Do you qualify for an energy efficiency survey?

If your premises and glass meet the criteria on the right, it may be that you would benefit from a free energy efficiency survey by one of our experts.

How does it work?

Solar protection window film works by reflecting away unwanted solar energy before it enters your premises, ensuring a more moderate, comfortable temperature. In turn, this means less reliance on air conditioning units and cooling systems, resulting in reduced energy usage and costs.

The Window Film Company offers a range of films that can assist with energy efficiency, with the most effective rejecting up to 85% of solar energy. The window film is applied directly to glass, forming a barrier to solar energy that is proven to be more effective than traditional methods such as blinds, and more cost effective than expensive replacement glass.
