Window film

Recommended Posts

After quite a bit of hot sunny weather  recently the window film we had fitted last autumn has now been tested properly.

 

I am very pleased with it - given we had a serious overheating problem and this was the only really practical retro fit solution to it I was keeping everything crossed it would work.

 

Well worth the money.

Can you supply more info on the film?

We had a  more limited choice of film due to having laminated 3g glass.  If you have regular toughened 3g its not an issue.   Some film providers had recommended film that was not suitable for our glass and the risk of cracking would have been much higher, others just said no film on laminated 3g.  The supplier we used was excellent in researching the correct one for us. They got advice from Internorm (for warranty) and the glass and glazing federation and St Gobain. 

 

The Sentinel SX50 by Solarlux (part of St Gobain) was the best choice for us and bonus that it came in a bigger width (1875mm)  too so would do our big sliders which are 1650 wide each pane.

 

Our supplier did a great job on the fitting too.

 

A guide to 3g and film which St Gobain gave us plus the spec sheet for our film.
