Having window film fitted: what you need to know

· 2 min read

Window film is one of those clever solutions that makes you wonder afterwards why you didn’t have it fitted sooner. Whether you want more privacy, are bothered by the heat from the sun, or are simply looking for a stylish finish for your windows — window film offers it all. We’ll walk you through everything you need to know.

Types of window film

There are various types of window film, each with its own specific use. Privacy or frosted glass film is the most popular choice for living rooms and bathrooms — it lets light through but prevents people from seeing in. Sun-control film keeps out up to 80% of the heat and is ideal for south-facing rooms. Decorative film gives your windows a unique look with patterns or designs. And safety film makes your glass shatter-resistant for extra protection.

How much does window film cost?

The cost of window film varies depending on the type of film and the number of windows. On average, you’ll pay between €40 and €120 per square metre, including professional fitting. For a standard living room with three windows, the cost can easily run to between €300 and €600. That’s a fraction of what new curtains, blinds or awnings cost — and the result will last for years.

The benefits of window film at a glance:

  • Instantly enjoy greater privacy without compromising on natural light
  • Reduces heat by up to 80% — making a significant difference to air-conditioning costs
  • No more need for curtains — a sleek, minimalist look
  • Increase the value of your home with a professional finish
Window film is one of those investments that you benefit from every day — literally with every ray of sunshine.
