What it does for you
A thin film fitted to the inside of your existing glass. No new windows, no building work, and the room is back to normal the same day.
Cooler rooms
Solar film reflects much of the sun's heat, so south and west-facing rooms stay comfortable on sunny afternoons.
Less glare
Watch TV or work from home without squinting or closing the blinds in the middle of the day.
Privacy
Frosted and decorative film for bathrooms and street-facing windows. Light still comes in, but people can't see in.
Stops fading
Blocks 99% of UV, one of the biggest causes of faded floors, sofas, curtains and artwork.
The rooms we film most
- Conservatories and orangeries. Often too hot to use in summer. Solar film makes them comfortable again.
- Bi-folds and sliding doors. Large areas of glass that let in a lot of heat.
- Skylights and roof windows. Direct overhead sun. Film cuts the heat and the glare on worktops and screens.
- Bedrooms and loft conversions. Rooms that stay too warm into the evening in summer.
- Bathrooms, landings and front doors. Frosted or patterned privacy film instead of obscure glass.
- Home offices. Less glare on your screen, without working in the dark.
We check your glass first
Not every film suits every window. Before we recommend anything, we check what you've actually got from your photos and video, so the film performs properly and your glass stays safe.
- Glass type. Single, double or triple glazed, toughened, laminated or annealed.
- Coatings. Low-E and self-cleaning coatings change which films are suitable.
- Thermal stress. Size, shading and orientation, so the film won't put the glass at risk.
If we can't tell from what you've sent, we'll ask for one more photo, usually the small stamp in the corner of the glass. No home visit needed to quote.
Film for every home
The right film depends on the house as much as the window.
Modern homes
Large windows and neighbours close by. Solar film for heat, privacy film for bathrooms and side windows.
Extensions
Orangeries, skylights and wide bi-folds. Solar control where it's hot, safety film on glazed doors.
Which film for which room
A quick guide. Send us photos and we'll tell you which suits your windows.
| Room or problem | Film we'd usually fit | Light let in | Why |
|---|---|---|---|
| Conservatory | Reflective solar film | 15–35% | Biggest cut in heat and glare |
| Kitchen bi-folds | Spectrally selective film | 50–70% | Cuts heat, keeps the room bright |
| Lounge with TV glare | Neutral tint | 20–50% | Takes the glare off screens |
| Bathroom or landing | Frosted or patterned film | Light, no view | Privacy day and night |
| Wooden floors fading | Clear UV film | 80–88% | Blocks 99% of UV, almost invisible |
| Ground-floor glass | Security film | 100–350µm | Holds glass in the frame when hit |
Figures are typical ranges across the films we fit.
How it works
Same four steps for one window or a whole house.
- Virtual survey
Send photos or a short video of each window, with rough sizes if you can. No home visit needed to quote.
- Fixed quote
We check what glass you have from what you send, then give you a clear, written price per window.
- Fitting
Dust sheets down, glass deep-cleaned, film cut and applied, edges trimmed neatly to the frame.
- Settling in
A slight haze for the first few weeks is normal while the film dries. Leave it 30 days before cleaning.
Home tinting questions
Is window film safe on double glazing?
On most units, yes. Some film and glass combinations put extra heat stress on the glass, so we check what glass you have before we quote and only fit film that suits it.
Can people see in at night?
Mirrored and tinted films give privacy in daylight because it's brighter outside than in. At night with your lights on, that flips. If you need privacy round the clock, go frosted.
Will film help in my conservatory?
Yes. Solar control film on conservatory glass takes out much of the heat and glare, so the room is usable through summer. For polycarbonate roofs we'll talk you through the options.
Do I need planning permission for window film?
Film fitted inside your windows doesn't usually need planning permission. If your home is listed or in a conservation area with restrictions, check with your council before making changes, film included.
Can you fit film to self-cleaning glass?
Self-cleaning coatings are on the outside of the glass, and most film is fitted on the inside, so it's usually fine. We check your glass before we quote to make sure the film suits it.
Can you put film on skylights?
Yes. Skylights, roof windows and glass roofs let in a lot of direct overhead sun, so they're some of the most common jobs. Film goes on the inside of the glass, so most flat and pitched skylights can be done as long as we can reach them safely. Send us a photo from underneath and we'll quote from that. See our skylight film page.
How much does window tinting cost?
It depends on the film, how many panes there are, their size and how easy they are to reach. Send us photos or a short video of your windows, with rough sizes if you have them, and we'll give you a fixed written price per window. You know exactly what you're paying before anything is fitted.
Why does the film look hazy after fitting?
Film goes on with a slip solution, and a little moisture stays behind while it cures. A slight haze or small water pockets for the first few weeks is normal and clears as it dries. Leave it 30 days before cleaning.
