films
An heat-resistant film is designed to reduce solar heat gain by filtering infrared and UV rays. An cold-resistant film acts as an additional insulating barrier to limit heat loss in winter. A blackout film protects privacy by preventing visibility from the outside. Burglar-proof film, meanwhile, reinforces the strength of the glazing in the event of impact or attempted intrusion. Each window film therefore has a specific use and purpose.
Yes, window films are designed to preserve natural light in your home. Heat and cold protection films are transparent or lightly tinted to preserve natural lighting while improving thermal comfort. Blackout films diffuse light without darkening the room, unlike curtains or blinds. Even burglar-proof films remain invisible once installed.
Yes, window film can be installed by individuals without any particular difficulty. Most window films use a soapy water installation method that allows the film to be repositioned before drying and achieves a clean result. This solution is ideal for individuals who want to improve their thermal comfort, privacy or window security without calling in a professional.
To choose the right size of window film, it is important to measure the glass surface accurately, excluding joints and frames. Measure the width and height of the window to the nearest millimetre to ensure a perfect fit. Custom-made window film is recommended to ensure easy installation and optimal aesthetic results, without rough cuts or visible overlaps.

Interior window film is the most commonly used type because it is easier to install and better protected from the elements. Exterior film may be recommended in certain specific cases, such as on windows that are highly exposed or when interior installation is not possible. The choice therefore depends on the exposure of the window and the desired objective.
A custom-made window film is the best option for achieving a precise and attractive result. It is cut exactly to the dimensions of your window, making it easy to install and ensuring a perfect finish. Standard films may be suitable for standard windows, but they often require additional cutting and do not provide as clean a finish.
