Window Film – Fact or Fiction?

Do you believe everything that you hear? It’s always a good idea to turn to a source that you trust and if you are thinking of having window film installed into your property this summer, hopefully, our article will help to set your mind at ease.

Fact or Fiction? – Window Film does not stop the fading of interior furnishings

Whilst it is true that window film cannot block 100% of the harmful UV rays which shine through your windows, the facts are that window film can block up to 99% of UV rays and up to 82% of solar heat (depending on the type of window film installed).

Therefore window film offers a highly effective solution for anyone looking to reduce the risk of fading to their furnishings.

Fact or Fiction? The installation of Window Film will reduce the visibility through the windows

Although specific window film, such as privacy window film, is designed to ensure that people cannot see into a property from outside, a significant proportion of window film is barely visible from the outside and will not affect the view from inside at all.

Fact or Fiction? Security Window Film is not a real deterrent

Security window film is specifically designed to reduce the risk of injury and damage by holding the glass together after it breaks. It also significantly reduces the chances of criminals being able to gain access to your property through any window to which security window film has been applied.

If you would like to protect your flat-screen TVs, laptops and expensive possessions with our invisible security films. Increasing the impact resistance of the window and then by holding broken glass together, the film can help to delay and deter smash & grab crime. Our films are certified to BS EN12600 and EN356 European Impact Standard. Combined with the use of privacy films, protect against opportunistic criminals!!!

Fact or Fiction? You can only install Window Film with the help of a professional

Whilst it is certainly true that certain jobs will require a professional installation, the truth is that some installations can be completed relatively quickly and easily with the minimum of previous knowledge.

Therefore if you are delaying your purchase because of a belief that a costly installation will make the price too expensive, this is very unlikely to be the case.
