Window film for bay windows

Bay windows are big, often overlooked expanses of glass. Here's how film solves heat, glare, privacy and fading on them.

Bay windows are a lovely feature and a lot of glass — often street-facing, which brings heat, glare, privacy and fading all at once. Window film is a neat, invisible way to solve those without spoiling the bay with heavy dressing.

Privacy without net curtains

Many bays are overlooked from the pavement, so the blinds stay shut. One-way mirror film gives full daytime privacy while keeping your view out and the light in; frosted film suits lower panes where you want constant privacy. Either keeps the bay looking clean and modern.

Heat and glare

A south or west-facing bay can overheat and glare on the TV. Solar and anti-glare films reject up to 79% of the heat and cut the glare while keeping the bay bright and the view open.

Protecting furnishings

Bays often frame a favourite spot — a window seat, a sofa, plants — which fade in the concentrated light. Blocking 99% of UV protects them.

A clean, invisible finish

Because film is applied to the glass itself, it keeps the bay's period or feature look with no bulky blinds or rails — ideal for Victorian and Edwardian bays.
