The Window Film Company supplies and installs a diverse range of window films, used for an ever-increasing list of purposes across commercial and residential environments. One of the most popular types of film is solar protection window film (also known as solar comfort window film), a specially designed window film that, once applied to glazing, will either reflect or absorb a percentage of the sun’s energy, reducing the amount of heat entering through glass. The beauty of solar control window film is that it will never make a room feel cold, instead helping to maintain a moderate and comfortable temperature all year round.
The benefits of a manageable temperature are clear. In workplaces, employees are less likely to be productive if the environment is uncomfortably hot, whilst in retail outlets the heat can potentially damage stock and create an unpleasant experience for customers. In residential settings, conservatories and orangeries are often rendered unusable by excess heat entering via glass or polycarbonate roofs and windows. With professionally installed window film suitable for each application, the problem can be quickly and cost-effectively remedied without replacing existing glazing.
In addition to improving comfort, solar control window film can help save money. By maintaining a more manageable indoor temperature, air conditioning systems are placed under reduced strain, resulting in lower energy consumption, reduced running costs and a smaller carbon footprint. Window film is a simple upgrade that can support energy efficiency in homes, offices and retail spaces.
Solar control films also deliver additional performance benefits. All solar control window films help reduce glare. By taking the edge off harsh sunlight, anti-glare window film makes it easier to focus on screens, paperwork and day-to-day tasks, allowing occupants to work and live comfortably without eyestrain or discomfort.
The majority of solar control window films installed by The Window Film Company also block up to 99% of harmful UV rays — one of the primary causes of fading to furnishings, flooring and displays. With light and heat also contributing to fading, professionally installed UV protection window film is one of the most effective solutions available.
Solar control window film is available in a range of grades and finishes, each offering different levels of heat reduction, glare control and appearance. Film can be installed internally or externally depending on the glazing type and building requirements, with The Window Film Company’s experienced and fully trained installation teams carrying out window film installation projects throughout the country.
