Solve it with solar control...

The summer is upon us and hopefully, you’ll be enjoying some good weather wherever you are in the country. While we can’t guarantee how long any sunny spells will last, we can be sure of one thing - that solar control window film can help you relax and enjoy the summer whether you are at home or in the office.

The longer days and higher temperatures will usually lead to increased internal heat. Shutting blinds and curtains is ineffective and also blocks the view and the light, while consistent reliance on air conditioning can be expensive and bad for the environment. An application of window film is a cost effective, long lasting and straightforward solution. 

Cut out excess heat - not your view

There is now an incredible choice of films available, with technological advances being made to create solutions that are in keeping with modern day needs and requirements. A big consideration is maintaining the view to the exterior - something not allowed by blinds or curtains - and every solar control film offered by The Window Film Company offers an uninterrupted daytime view out.

Not too hot, not too cold. Stay comfortable!

Window film works by reflecting away a percentage of the sun's energy before it can enter the room. This process  is what makes it far more effective than blinds or curtains, which are set back from the window, allowing heat in. An uncomfortable temperature occurs due to the steady build up of heat throughout the day, with this point reached far more quickly on warm summer days. By slowing down this procedure, window film will ensure that your room isn’t too hot, without ever making it too cold. 

Apply internally

Here at The Window Film Company we always recommend an internal application wherever possible. This allows for a longer functional life of the film, keeping it working at full capacity for as long as possible. While our teams of installers are able to carry out fitting in almost any circumstance (externally if necessary, at height or in difficult to reach areas) a standard installation can be undertaken and completed with minimum fuss and intrusion.

Other benefits

As well as ensuring a moderate internal temperature, the majority of films supplied and installed by The Window Film Company deliver a number of additional benefits. An application of one of our solar control window films will reduce the UV rays passing through the glass by 99%, which, in tandem with the solar control properties, will help mitigate against fading. Solar control films will also solve another common problem - glare. This can be an issue all year round and by filtering out the harshest light, an application of window film will make for an immediately more comfortable internal environment.
