What is insulating window film?

Insulating window film is a thin, transparent or lightly tinted film that we apply directly to the glass. The film contains a special metallic layer that reflects heat radiation back into the room. This means much less heat is lost through the glass in winter, and in summer the film partially blocks out the sun’s heat. It is a proven and cost-effective way to improve single-glazed windows without replacing them.

What type of glass does it work on?

Insulating window film is most effective on single-glazed windows — the type of window through which most heat is lost. Think of older homes, conservatories, skylights, sheds, garages and office spaces with single-glazed windows. It offers little added value on HR++ or triple-glazed insulating glass, as this glass already insulates well. We always give you honest advice on what the benefits are for your specific situation. In an office environment, sun-blocking film a popular alternative offering the same benefits.

The film is available in transparent or lightly tinted versions, so that the amount of light entering and the view remain virtually unchanged.
