Skylight window film
Skylights and roof windows let the sun straight down onto worktops, beds and screens. Solar film on the glass cuts the heat and glare and blocks 99% of UV, while the room stays bright.

Why skylights get so hot
A window in a wall catches the sun for part of the day. A skylight faces the sky, so it takes direct sun for much longer, and from almost overhead. That's why the kitchen island, the bed under the roof window or the desk in the loft gets so much glare and heat.
Warm air also rises and collects at the top of the room, right where the skylight is. Loft bedrooms and top-floor rooms can hold that heat well into the evening.
Solar control film goes on the inside of the skylight glass and reflects or absorbs much of the sun's energy before it gets into the room. Clearer films keep almost all the daylight; darker ones take out more glare.
Skylights we film
Most skylights can be done from inside, as long as we can reach the glass safely.
Over kitchen islands, extensions and flat-roofed rooms.
Pitched windows in loft bedrooms, bathrooms and offices.
Glazed links, atriums and conservatory roofs.
Offices, shops and receptions with overhead glare.
What it does
- Cuts the heat. Less solar heat coming through the glass, so the room under it stays more comfortable.
- Takes the glare off. No more squinting at the hob, the TV or a laptop under the skylight.
- Blocks 99% of UV. Protects worktops, flooring, bedding and furniture from fading.
- Keeps the light. Spectrally selective films stay close to clear, so you don't lose the reason you put the skylight in.
- Privacy for bathrooms. Frosted film on overlooked roof windows, if you need it.

Skylight questions
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.
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.
Will it make my rooms dark?
Only if you want it to. Spectrally selective film cuts a lot of heat while staying close to clear. The darker shades are for glare and privacy, and we'll talk you through how each shade will look before you choose.
Do you need to visit to give a quote?
No. We do virtual surveys: you send photos or a short video of the windows and we quote from those. We only come out to fit. If we need a closer look at anything, like the stamp in the corner of the glass, we'll ask for another photo.
