Conservatory like an oven? Can't see the TV for the sun? Solar film sorts it.
Solar and UV window film for homes across Manchester. It goes on the glass you've already got, keeps rooms cooler and cuts the glare, and you still keep your view.
Solar film bounces a good chunk of the sun's heat back out before it builds up in the room. It's the simple fix for a conservatory you can't use in summer or a south-facing room that cooks by mid-afternoon.
Cooler rooms and conservatories. Less heat coming through the glass, so the room is usable on sunny days again.
Less glare on TVs and screens. No more drawing the blinds to watch the telly or work on a laptop.
Keep the view. From inside you still see out. You choose how light or dark the tint is.
Sun fading your floor and sofa? UV film slows it right down.
UV film looks almost clear once it's on. You'd hardly know it's there, but it blocks most of the sun's UV rays (the exact amount depends on the film chosen, and it's shown on your quote).
Helps stop fading. Wood floors, furniture, curtains, rugs and artwork keep their colour for longer. Strong sunlight still causes some fading, so it slows it down rather than stopping it completely.
Protects skin near windows. Extra UV protection if you sit by the window a lot, like at a desk or a favourite chair.
Keeps the room looking the same. No dark tint, no mirror effect. Good for rooms where you want the light exactly as it is.

Where it's used
The glass that gets the most sun
Conservatory roofs
The biggest heat trap in most houses. Film on the roof panels makes summer afternoons bearable again.
Roof lanterns
Lovely light, but they can turn a kitchen into a greenhouse and throw glare on the worktop.
Bi-fold and patio doors
Big panes of glass let in a lot of heat and fade the floor right in front of them.
South-facing rooms
Living rooms and bedrooms that get full sun all afternoon and never cool down.
Home offices
Cut the glare on your screen so you're not squinting or shutting the blinds on a sunny day.

Questions
Solar and UV film, straight answers
Will it make my room dark?
Only as dark as you want. Lighter films barely change the room. Darker ones cut more heat and glare but take a bit more light. You'll see the options before you choose, and UV film looks almost clear.
Can I still see out?
Yes. From inside, the view stays clear. Some solar films look reflective from outside in daylight, which also adds a bit of daytime privacy. At night, with your lights on, people can see in, so it isn't a replacement for blinds after dark.
Does it work in winter?
UV film keeps blocking UV all year round. Solar film earns its keep in the sunny months. Some solar films also help hold a bit of heat in over winter, depending on the film chosen. If your main problem is a cold room, insulating film is usually the better pick, and we'll tell you honestly which one suits.
Is it safe on double glazing?
Yes, if the right film goes on the right glass. Some films can put too much heat stress on certain double-glazed units. The glass type is always checked before fitting, and the film is matched to it using the film maker's guidance. If a window isn't suitable, you'll be told.
How long does it last?
Good film fitted inside the glass lasts for years. How long depends on the film and how much sun the glass gets. Your quote shows the expected life and warranty for each option, so you can compare.
