Most modern window films are designed to reduce heat and glare without unduly darkening your windows. Many of the films we install are virtually clear and preserve natural light and views, with minimal change to the appearance of the glass.

We regularly install premium options such as 3M Prestige, which reduce heat and UV by rejecting infrared energy rather than tinting the glass. If keeping your home bright is important, we will recommend a film that delivers comfort without making your windows look dark.

No. There are significant differences in performance, quality and longevity between window films.

Films vary in how they manage heat, glare and UV, how clear they appear on the glass, and how well they perform over time. Lower quality films often rely on dark tinting or dyes, which can fade, discolour or deliver limited heat reduction.

The right film depends on your glass type, sun exposure and goals, which is why correct advice and professional installation matter.

Window film is generally a cost effective solution compared to replacing glass, adding external shading or upgrading window systems.

The cost varies depending on the size of the windows, the type of film selected and the performance level required. Premium films typically cost more upfront but deliver better heat reduction, clearer appearance and longer term performance.

When installed by UV Window Coatings, high quality window film is designed to last many years and often comes with a lifetime manufacturer warranty. By reducing heat entering your home, window film can also help lower air conditioning use and energy costs. Spread over its lifespan, it is typically a very economical way to improve comfort, reduce glare and protect your home.

Look for a company that specialises in window film and takes the time to properly assess your home, rather than offering a generic solution.

At UV Window Coatings, window film is all we do. We bring over 25 years of hands on experience and assess your glass type, sun exposure and comfort goals before recommending a solution that is technically suitable and delivers the result you expect.

We have access to all major premium window film brands, so we are not limited to pushing a single product. This allows us to recommend the film that is genuinely best for your home, glass and budget.

We are a 3M Platinum Select Partner, the highest level of 3M accreditation, held by only a small number of installers. This means genuine films installed to manufacturer specification and backed by full warranties.

Choosing a specialist installer with proven experience and manufacturer backing helps ensure your window film performs correctly and lasts for many years.
