Before / after

Same room. Different result.

Drag the line across. Left is before, right is after. Nothing was replaced.

The same window wall after solar control film: the sun is contained and the view reads clearly

BeforeAfter

Full-height office glazing before and after solar control film. Same desk, same window, same hour of the afternoon.

The problem

Pick the one that sounds like your building. We will show you what usually fixes it.

What we do

Four ways to change a surface

Same craft every time: measure, cut, clean, lay, squeeze out, check the edges. What changes is what is underneath.

Selected work

Finished surfaces

Real jobs, photographed as they were done. What the problem was, what went on, and what changed.

Office glazing

Full-height glazing in a working office, photographed after solar control film. The sun is contained and the view over the city stays open.

Meeting room partition

Problem
A meeting room walled in clear glass, with everything inside it on show to the floor outside.
Solution
Frosted film on the partition, run to the height that covers the table and the people at it.
Result
Private from the corridor, and still lit by the window wall. The partition itself was not touched.

Meeting room

Corner glazing in a meeting room after solar control film, with the rooftops and the sky still reading clearly through the glass.

Apartment window, film fitted

Problem
Afternoon sun straight onto the glass of an occupied flat.
Solution
Solar control film applied to the existing pane: solution sprayed, film laid, worked out edge to edge.
Result
The original glazing stayed in place. Nothing was removed or replaced.

Reception and meeting room

Problem
A glazed meeting room standing in the middle of the reception a visitor walks into first.
Solution
Frosted film across the lower half of the enclosure, stopped short of the ceiling.
Result
The meeting room is screened at seated height while the reception keeps the light and the view.
Private office desk beside windows with a frosted band at eye level and the skyline abovePrivacy

Private office, frosted band

Problem
A desk sitting against full-height glazing, in view of everything on the other side of it.
Solution
A frosted band set at seated eye level and carried across every pane in the elevation.
Result
Cover where you sit, sky and skyline above it. Nothing about the glazing was replaced.
On site

Ten seconds of the actual work

Preparation, cutting, laying, edge work. Filmed on the job, not staged, so you can judge the standard of the installation for yourself.

    The squeegee pass

    Working the solution out from behind the film, edge to edge, on an apartment window.

  • Film being laid onto a roof window from inside, protective plastic taped around the opening10s

    A roof window in a loft conversion, plastic sheeting still up around the reveal.

  • Close-up of a finished roof window seen from inside, clear blue sky through the glass10s

    Checking the finish

    The finished pane against the sky, which is where any edge or mark would show.

  • Tools laid out on a bench on site: squeegee, blade, spray bottle and a roll of film10s

    Set up on site

    Blade, squeegee, spray bottle, film. Most of a window film job is preparation.

  • An unfinished loft conversion with roof windows and a gable window looking out over fields10s

    Before anything is cut

    The room first: how many panes, which way they face, and what the sun does to it.

Silent clips. Nothing downloads until you press play.

Why us

What you actually get

01

Precision

Clean edges. Smooth film. No ugly seams. A finish that looks intentional from half a metre away and from ten.

02

Protection

The film takes the punishment instead of the surface underneath. Sun, UV, hands, trolleys, weather and the occasional accident.

03

Transformation

Change how a window, a wall or a whole room looks without demolition or replacement. It is reversible, and it is faster than a refit.

04

Straight advice

If film will not solve your problem, we will tell you that instead of selling you the expensive one.

How it works

From first message to finished surface

Six steps. Most of them are ours.

  1. 01You

    Send a photo

    Show us the window, the room or the surface, and say in one sentence what you want changed.

  2. 02Us

    We recommend

    The right film or finish for the job, why it is the right one, and an indicative price.

  3. 03Us

    We inspect

    We see the surface in person, confirm it is sound, and fix the scope and the price.

  4. 04Us

    We install

    Clean room, clean glass, sharp blades. This is the part you are paying for.

  5. 05Us

    We check the finish

    Every edge, every corner, under strong light. Anything we are not happy with gets redone.

  6. 06You

    You get the space back

    You walk into the finished space, and we tell you how to look after it.

Start with a photo.

Step one is the only one that needs anything from you.

Send a photo

Not sure what you need?

Send a photo. Get an answer.

That is fine. Most people are not.

Tell us what is bothering you about the window, room or surface. Send us a photo and one sentence about what you want changed. We will tell you what can be done and what the next step looks like.
