Protect your property
UV Window Films
Protect your property from harmful UV rays. The harmful effects of UV rays can cause significant damage to your skin and various materials, leading to fading and deterioration of fabrics, furnishings, and artwork. UV window films can block up to 99% of these rays, providing essential protection and helping to prevent irreparable damage.
What is A UV Window Film?
A UV window film is a thin, totally clear or tinted adhesive film that is applied to windows to block harmful ultraviolet (UV) rays from entering a building. This innovative solution is designed to provide maximum protection against the damaging effects of UV light, which can cause fading, discoloration, and damage to skin, furnishings, and artwork. Whether you’re looking to protect your home, office, or a specialized space like a museum or art gallery, UV window film offers an effective barrier against these harmful rays. By installing UV window film, you can enjoy the natural light without worrying about the damaging effects of UV exposure.
Highly effective
and affordable UV window films
Whilst sun streaming into our properties can be a lovely sight, we don’t want the damaging effects of ultra violet light to reach us or our belongings. The sun’s UV rays are powerful, and even if you are behind glass, you can still experience sun damage if you stay there for long enough. Normal glass works a little like sun cream – it extends the time you can spend in the sun but won’t completely eliminate damage. UV rays are also incredibly harmful for your furnishings, fading carpets and upholstery and materials if left unchecked. UV window film can block these harmful rays to help prevent them from entering through your windows. The blue outline shows the affect of UV window film. The red outline demonstrates the intensity of the sun rays when a window has not been fitted with UV window film.

26th May 2020PR Solar have just applied their specialist film to our whole conservatory roof and doors, due to having to work from home because of Covid-19 Makes an amazing difference to the heat temperature and glare reduction in the room. So pleased to have found Paul and have this installed before Summer really kicks in. Cannot recommend highly enough.

22nd May 2020Friendly reliable staff, fitted the film with efficiency, professionalism, and quality is outstanding. You can really notice a difference to the heat in the conservatory. Whilst light still comes in, the heat has been reduced dramatically so no longer feels like a sauna. We are west open facing meaning sun moves around the side of the windows then above normally trapping so much heat. In 24hrs the difference is amazing! Thanks Paul!

27th April 2020Very professional, Paul explained fully about the products and price, absolutely perfect fit for my windows, I am very happy with the results. We are on street level so everyone can look in when they walk past, the net curtains hid the view and light and harboured dust, it has completely changed our living room and kitchen, to be able to look out and have the light in, from the outside it looks totally natural and people cannot see inside. Would highly recommend, clean fast, superb service.

Paul installed window film on our bi-fold doors in our garden room, and kitchen and lounge windows. Having had skin cancer recently, I was concerned about UV and wanted to continue to enjoy our garden room without having anxiety. Skin cancers are becoming increasingly common and PR Solar Window Film is the ideal solution. It also prevents our furnishings fading! I was impressed by the installation - efficient, professional and a fantastic result! Highly recommend this service to all and everyone.

29th February 2020Nice quality finish, from the outside it gives the windows a bit of shine but doesn't look over the top, it gives the appearance of looking at an empty dark room. From the inside - you can't see it! Quick service and no mess. Great, I would recommend PR Solar to anyone wanting privacy film, our new windows now look very stylish.

Window film options
for every room
Our window film supply and installation options are far reaching, and we have options for every space:
Tips for Maintaining Your UV Window Film
- Clean the film regularly: Use a mild soap solution and a lint-free cloth to clean the film. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as they can damage the film.
- Avoid using high-pressure washes: High-pressure washes can damage the film and cause it to peel away from the window.
- Avoid exposing the film to extreme temperatures: Extreme temperatures can cause the film to degrade and lose its effectiveness.
- Check the film for damage: Regularly inspect the film for any signs of damage, such as scratches or tears. If you notice any damage, contact a professional installer to repair or replace the film.
By adhering to these maintenance tips, you can ensure your UV window film remains effective and continues to provide maximum protection against harmful UV rays.
UV Window Film FAQs
This is a common fear, but you needn’t worry. Once our UV window film has been installed, you will still retain a full, unobstructed view of the outside of your property. In fact, many of our clients report that their view actually becomes clearer as our UV film reduces the glare caused by the sun by as much as 75%.
No. Many people make the assumption that UV window film blocks heat from entering your property, and therefore it will be colder. And that is actually true. But UV window film also prevents heat from escaping your property, beefing up the insulation around your windows (which are responsible for the majority of heat loss in most properties), thus reducing heat loss by 33%. So actually, in the winter, you’ll likely notice your home is significantly warmer.
With many of the UV window films that we offer, their presence once installed is virtually unnoticeable and does not change the appearance of your windows dramatically. And the amount of reflection from the sun is often lower than that generated by many bare windows.
Yes. This is one of the main advantages of selecting this film over others that we offer. The sun’s UV rays are responsible for the fading of home furnishings (you may have experienced this with items positioned close to windows), and are also very harmful to human skin. Our UV window film blocks out 99% of the UV rays that hit your windows and prevent them from entering your home, protecting your health and the condition of furniture items and other furnishings.
Installation by our professional team is relatively quick. The exact time it takes depends on a number of factors, with the amount of windows the film is being applied to being the most important one. But in the majority of cases, installation can be completed in one day or less.
In conclusion, UV protection window film is a simple and effective way to protect your skin, furnishings, and artwork from the damaging effects of UV rays. By installing UV window film, you can enjoy maximum protection from harmful UV rays, reduce glare and heat, and conserve energy. Remember to follow the installation and maintenance tips outlined above to ensure your UV window film lasts for years to come.
