Window film is very versatile

Window film is a thin vinyl formulated for use on glazing, which is applied directly to smooth non textured glass, and is suitable for residential or commercial interiors and settings. Either self adhesive or static cling, window film is designed for a wide range of permanent or temporary purposes. Glass film is very versatile and can be cut with intricate shapes, including letters and numbers, or be printed on allowing for striking graphics, using photographs or company branding.

Privacy window film

Instead of heavy and drab net curtains or blinds, privacy window film is the perfect stylish and clean alternative for your windows and doors, without having to sacrifice natural light. With many of us working from home, or living on busy streets, privacy and safety have become more of a concern. Privacy Window Film is a sticky back plastic which comes in many finishes including a frosted window film effect for privacy day and night, and one way mirror effect for daytime privacy. For a more bespoke finish, we also have a wide range of patterned window film which will make your home more private, but also match it's style and decor. Because frosted window film is resistant to condensation, it is suitable for use in a bathroom, a shower or cloak room, or a kitchen.

Frosted glass film

In order to make the glass opaque, frosted window film gives your glass a finish similar to etched glass, allowing plenty of natural light. Glass frosting film is very stylish, durable and easy to maintain, and will add privacy during the day but also at night. It can also be used for safety and added security by concealing your valuable items from prying eyes, and is therefore often used as an alternative to net curtains on the bottom half of bay windows. But as well as hiding your personel items, window stick on coverings can also hide an unsightly view, whether permanently or temporarily. We even have customers who use it to prevent their dogs from barking at the window. Frosted film is available off the roll by the metre in a choice of widths, or cut to measure to fit your glass exactly.

Decorative Window Film

If your home or office is too hot, and you are looking to reduce heat, excess glare, as well as decrease UV light that is fading your much-loved furniture, then our sun control films are a good place to start. Our solar reflective and tinted window films come in indifferent grades of shading, and help to reduce UV light by over 99%. Acting in a similar way to sunglasses or the tint in your car, the darker the films the more efficient they are, but the more daylight you will have to sacrifice. Mirror window film is a dual purpose material combining heat and glare reduction, and thanks to it's reflective finish, daytime privacy.

Safety and security upgrade

Window film can also be used to upgrade non conforming glass. Safety window film prevents glass from shattering in the event of breakage or collision, making it a more secure option.
