Myths about window film:
It will make my room dark.
Due to Visual Acuity – when the human eye adjusts to its light surroundings and stabilizes sight enabling unrestricted sight at various light levels. You’ll find that you’ll actually have more natural light entering the room because you won’t need to close the blinds or curtains anymore.
Window films only come in shiny silver or black like on cars.
Wrong! We have lots of shades and neutral colours and with new film technology you can have 50% solar energy rejection from a very light tint. People generally don’t know that you have had window films fitted until you tell them; you should see the look on their faces.
Window films are a new fad and aren’t proven.
Window films have been around for years and have even been in the UK for decades. They are used all over the world and you are likely the see them on a high street near you protecting window displays or adding safety and security to glazing.
Anyone can install window films.
Mmm! That’s why that car you pulled up behind at the traffic lights last week had a crinkled bubbly mess on its back window. Lots of people have tried to install film themselves and failed at great cost. Our installations are carried out to Glass and Glazing Federation guidelines and carry comprehensive manufacturer warranties of up to 10 years.
My roof is plastic so you can’t fit film to it.
We can install film to most types of polycarbonate roofs. The roof is often the largest area which in turn can let most of the heat in or out. It can also have more glare than a glass roof due to internal reflections within the corrugated panels.
I already have blinds so I don’t need window films.
Window films complement blinds very well and will even extend their life by protecting them from the sun, but sadly normal blinds only reject about 17% of the suns energy. They’re great for window dressing but not great for keeping things cool.
All Automotive Window Film is illegal.
Not true; after the law change in 2004 the front doors and windscreen can’t have a tinted window film installed less than (70% light tint) but all other windows can be dark as you like.
