As the summer sun gets stronger, many homeowners find themselves battling increased glare, fading furniture, and rising indoor temperatures. While windows are essential for letting in light and opening up your space, they can also come with some seasonal downsides. That’s where window filming can make a real difference.
At Windrush Doors and Windows, we offer a wide range of specialist glazing solutions designed to improve comfort and performance and window film is one of the most effective, non-intrusive options available.
What is window filming?
Window filming is a thin, transparent layer professionally applied to the inside of your existing windows. While it may seem subtle, the benefits are anything but. From blocking UV rays to adding a level of privacy without sacrificing natural light, window filming is a smart and cost-effective upgrade for any home.
Protect your interiors from sun damage
One of the biggest advantages of window filming is its ability to filter out harmful UV rays. Over time, constant exposure to the sun can bleach and degrade fabrics, flooring, artwork and wooden furniture. By adding a protective film to your windows, you can block up to 99% of UV light, significantly reducing fading and extending the life of your interiors.
This kind of protection is particularly valuable in south-facing rooms or homes with large areas of glazing, where the sun’s impact is at its most intense.
Reduce glare without pulling the curtains
There’s nothing worse than not being able to watch TV or work on a screen because of the sun’s glare. Window filming helps to cut glare while still allowing natural light to filter through. That means a more comfortable living or working environment and no need to keep drawing the blinds in the middle of the day.
Enhance your privacy
Window filming can also be used to increase privacy during the day, particularly in overlooked areas like bathrooms, kitchens, or street-facing windows. Frosted or tinted films obscure the view from outside while still allowing you to see out, giving you added peace of mind without the need for bulky curtains or blinds.
Energy efficiency benefits
Some window films also have thermal properties, helping to reflect heat away from your home during summer. By reducing solar heat gain, they can help to keep rooms cooler which in turn can lower your reliance on fans or air conditioning. In winter, certain films also help to retain heat, making your home more energy efficient year-round.
