What is window film?
Window film is a thin, durable layer applied directly to your existing glass. It can improve privacy, reduce heat and glare, and block harmful UV rays – all without replacing your windows.
What types of window film do you install?
We specialise in a residential window film which has the following features:
- Privacy control for bathrooms, bedrooms, and street-facing rooms
- Solar control to reduce heat and glare
- UV protection to help prevent fading of furniture and flooring
- Frosted and decorative films available for added style and privacy
What is a ‘pane’?
A window pane is:
- One uninterrupted sheet of glass.
- Sitting vertically within the window frame.
- The glass surface is completely flat (this means there is raised lead patterns or decorative bars stuck to the glass).
- Must be less than 1.2m x 1.2m.
A door pane is:
- One uninterrupted sheet of glass.
- Sitting vertically within a door frame.
- The glass surface is complete flat (this means there is raised lead patterns or decorative bars stuck to the glass).
- Must be less than 1.2m x 2.5m.
Will window film make my rooms too dark?
No, our solar privacy film is designed to reduce glare and heat while still allowing natural light into your home and only reduces visible light by 15% which is only a light tint.
How long does installation take?
Most residential installations can be completed within a few hours, depending on the number of windows. Larger homes may take longer, but we always work efficiently and tidily. You book the day that suits you
Does window film go on the inside or outside of the glass?
In most cases, window film is installed on the inside of your windows for maximum durability and protection.
Is window film permanent?
Window film is long-lasting but not permanent. It can be removed or replaced if needed without damaging the glass underneath.
Do you offer a warranty?
Yes. All our window films come with a manufacturer-backed warranty of up to 10 years, depending on the product chosen.
How do I book an installation?
Booking is simple. Choose your film type, select the number of window panes, and pick a date that suits you using our online booking system.
Do you cover all of Norfolk?
Yes, we provide residential window film installation across the whole of Norfolk.
Can window film help with energy bills?
Yes. Solar control window film can help reduce heat gain in summer and improve insulation in winter, which may help reduce energy usage.
Will window film affect my view?
Not negatively. Depending on the film chosen, you can still enjoy a clear outward view while improving privacy and reducing glare from outside.
Are my windows suitable for window film?
We ask only 2 check are done before booking your fitting, check the glass size and glass type.
Window glass size
To maintain quality and ensure every installation is achievable we require you check the size of the panes.
Pane definition – see the FAQ on what is a pane?
Glass type
The majority of homes in Norfolk have double-glazed uPVC windows or standard single-float panes – both of these are perfect for our window film.
However, to ensure the thermal properties of the film work safely with your glass, we cannot install film to:
- Triple-glazed windows
- Frosted or patterned glass
- Georgian wired glass
- Polycarbonate (plastic windows)
Applying film to these specific glass types can cause thermal stress or improper adhesion, which is why they are excluded from our standard booking service.
Do you doors also?
Yes we do, any clear glass double glazed door is perfect for our window film.
Do you do conservatories?
Norfolk Window Film specialises in vertical faced window installation and does not include conservatory roofs at this time. So yes, we will install to any window/door in a conservatory as long as its not on the roof/ceiling.
