Solar control film
Solar control film for Surrey homes
Clear films that reject solar heat and glare, so glass extensions, conservatories and rooflights become rooms you can use on a sunny afternoon.
What it does
Less heat. The same view.
Large panes of glass let in a lot of solar heat, and on a sunny day it builds up fast. Solar control film reflects and absorbs part of that energy before it reaches the room. Modern clear and spectrally selective films do this while letting plenty of daylight through, so the glass still looks like glass. They also cut glare on screens and tables, and block most UV, which helps with fading too.
Good to know
Solar films range from almost invisible to noticeably tinted or reflective. The clearer the film, the less heat it rejects, so it's a balance between appearance and performance. Some films are not suitable for some double glazing or coated glass, which is why we check your glass and show you samples in place before recommending one.

Common questions.
Yes, when the film suits the glass and the orientation. Our guide explains how and when.
Clear solar films let most visible light through. More reflective films reject more heat but darken the glass. We'll show you both on your own windows.
Clear films have very little reflection. Some higher-performance films have a subtle sheen from outside. We'll show you what each looks like.
Blinds work when they're closed. Film works all the time and keeps the view, which is often the reason the glass is there.
