Solar Control Window Film

Having installed a double glazed lantern roof to our new kitchen extension we found that although we loved the extra light, at certain times of the day the glare could be unbearable when cooking or dining and was ruining our whole experience of being in the new kitchen. I had used solar control window film at work many years ago so thought it might be a possible solution for us. Having looked online for a professional, local company we contacted WF Glazing Protection and Dave came to see us. He provided expert advice as he talked us through the various film types, coatings, performances, manufacturers and warranties. In the end we settled on a 35 grade film as a good compromise between performance and light transmission. At first we were concerned it would look too dark but this hasn’t been the case. The kitchen feels just as light and spacious but without the annoying glare and the film gives the sky a lovely blue colour when you look up. Dave also advised us to have 3M Prestige70 External clear solar film fitted to the south facing patio doors. This film reduces the sun’s heat without changing the appearance of the glass. It was a great decision as it has finished the job off nicely. The sunshine this May has been a good test and the film has passed with flying colours. The kitchen is so much more comfortable and we can really enjoy it at all times of the day. Thank you to Dave and his installation team who did a very neat and tidy job.
