Solar control
Commercial solar control window film
A practical retrofit for overheated offices, glazed façades and occupied buildings—without replacing the glass.
Control solar gain
Improve comfort behind glass
Solar control film is applied to existing glazing to reduce the solar energy entering a building. A carefully specified system can help tackle hot spots, uncomfortable work areas, screen glare and excessive cooling demand while retaining useful daylight.
Common applications
- South- and west-facing office glazing
- Large commercial façades and atriums
- Retail displays and customer areas
- Schools, healthcare and public buildings
- Sites where glass replacement is disruptive

Common questions
Frequently asked questions
Does solar control film make windows very dark?
Not necessarily. Film systems are available in different appearances and performance levels. We recommend an option that balances heat rejection, visible light and the required external appearance.
Can solar film be fitted to double glazing?
Often yes, but compatibility must be checked. We assess the glass and select a suitable film to manage thermal stress risk and protect the installation.
Will it help reduce office glare?
Yes. The correct solar control film can reduce visible light and screen glare while also addressing heat gain.
