What solar control film does.

Solar control film is the answer to rooms that overheat — south and west-facing living rooms, conservatories, glass extensions and open-plan offices. It rejects the sun's heat at the glass before it enters, so the space stays comfortable without blinds and without running air-conditioning at full tilt. Most solar films are virtually invisible from inside, so you keep your view and your daylight.

Why it matters

What this film does.

Solar control

Up to 79% heat rejection

Cuts solar heat gain dramatically, making south-facing rooms and conservatories usable through summer.

Solar control

Lower energy bills

Less solar heat means less demand on air-conditioning in commercial buildings — a measurable saving on cooling costs.

Solar control

99% UV blocked

Protects flooring, furniture, stock and artwork from fading while letting daylight through.

Solar control

Virtually invisible

Modern spectrally-selective films reject heat while staying near-clear, so the building's look and your view are unchanged.

FAQ

Questions about
solar control work.

Will solar film make my room darker?

Only slightly, if at all. Spectrally-selective solar films reject heat and UV while transmitting most visible light, so the room stays bright — the heat is what's removed.

How much heat does it actually stop?

Our solar films reject up to 79% of total solar energy, depending on the film and glass. We recommend the right grade for each window's orientation on the survey.

Is it visible from outside?

Most solar films are subtle from outside — a light neutral or slightly reflective tone. We'll show you samples so there are no surprises.

Does it help in winter?

Low-emissivity solar films also reflect some internal heat back inside in winter, reducing heat loss — though the standout benefit is summer heat rejection.

Can it be fitted to commercial façades out-of-hours?

Yes — we regularly install solar film on offices and retail units in the evenings and at weekends to avoid disruption.

Do you cover all of Scotland?

Yes — Edinburgh, Glasgow, Dunfermline, Stirling, Perth, Dundee, Aberdeen, Inverness and everywhere between.
