Window film for south-facing rooms

South-facing rooms get the most sun — and the most heat, glare and fading. Here's the right film to keep them usable.

South-facing rooms are the best-lit in the house — and often the least usable in summer because of heat, glare and fading. The right window film fixes all three without giving up the light that makes the room special.

Heat

A solar control film rejects up to 79% of the sun's heat, so a south-facing living room or extension stays comfortable through the afternoon instead of becoming a greenhouse.

Glare

South light causes screen and TV glare for much of the day. An anti-glare solar film cuts the harsh reflections while keeping the room bright.

Fading

South-facing rooms fade flooring, sofas and artwork fastest. Because our films block 99% of UV, they dramatically slow that fading — protecting what's inside.

One film, three problems

A good solar film handles heat, glare and UV at once, which is why south-facing rooms are the single most common install we do across Scotland.
