Period sash window on a winter day with a warm room inside

Insulating window film for older glass

Low-emissivity films that help keep heat inside in winter. An option for single glazing and older windows, including period homes where replacement isn't straightforward.

For the windows you can't, or won't, replace.

Insulating film has a low-emissivity coating that reflects heat back into the room rather than letting it escape through the glass. It's most useful on single glazing and older units without modern coatings, where replacing the windows would be costly or would change the character of the house.

Insulating film won't match modern double or triple glazing, but on the right glass it makes a real difference to how a room feels. If your home is listed or in a conservation area, we'll talk through any permissions before we start.
