What it covers

The right film for the glass you have

Window film is a specification decision before it is an installation. The same solar film that performs well on tempered glass can put an annealed sealed unit under thermal stress, so we record glass type, thickness and construction during the survey and specify from that.

We install solar control, safety, security, privacy, decorative and bird-friendly films on commercial buildings, and the same crews do residential work. Retrofits in occupied buildings are routine: we work floor by floor with protection down and glass cleaned on completion.

  • Compatibility checkedGlass build recorded and thermal stress considered before quoting.
  • Whole-building capablePhased floor-by-floor retrofits in occupied offices.
  • Anchoring optionsWet-glaze and mechanical attachment where security performance is required.
  • Warranty backedManufacturer warranties supported by our certified installer status.

Scope

Film types we install

All installed to the manufacturer's specification for the glass in question.

  • Solar control

    Heat and glare reduction on perimeter and south-facing glazing.

  • Safety and security

    Glass retention film, with frame anchoring where forced-entry delay matters.

  • Privacy and decorative

    Frosted, gradient and patterned film on interior and exterior glass.

  • Bird-friendly

    Marker patterns applied to the exterior surface to reduce collisions.

  • Anti-graffiti

    Sacrificial clear film on vulnerable glass, replaced rather than repaired.

  • Removal and replacement

    Failed or discoloured film stripped and glass re-filmed.

Practicalities

How a film retrofit runs

Glazing work needs clean, dry conditions and controlled temperature. In an occupied building we work in zones, protect finishes and floors, and hand each area back cleaned.

Most popular

Window & Solar Control Film

Cuts solar heat gain, glare and UV on the glass you already have. Our most requested film.

  • Heat and glare reduction
  • Over 99% UV rejection typical
  • Glass compatibility assessed first

Most asked about

Safety & Security Film

Holds broken glass in the frame and delays forced entry. Anchoring decides how much it delays.

  • Glass retention on breakage
  • Forced-entry delay when anchored
  • 4 to 14 mil thickness options

Standards driven

Bird-Friendly Glass Treatment

Exterior marker patterns that make glass readable to birds, with the view kept clear from inside.

  • Applied to the exterior surface
  • CSA A460 spacing guidance
  • Occupant view stays clear

Questions we get asked

Plain answers to the questions buyers and building owners ask us most.

Does window film reduce heat?

Yes. Solar control film reflects and absorbs part of the solar spectrum before it enters the room, which lowers solar heat gain and cooling load. A US General Services Administration field study measured an average 29% annual HVAC saving in the perimeter zone of retrofitted buildings.

Does window film block UV?

Yes. Current commercial window films reject better than 99% of ultraviolet light across the 300 to 380 nanometre range. That slows fading, but no film can stop fading completely, because visible light and heat also cause it.

Will window film break my glass?

It can, if the wrong film is specified. Absorptive solar films raise glass temperature, and every glass type except tempered is susceptible to thermal stress breakage when an unsuitable film is applied. That is why the glass build has to be recorded before anything is quoted.
