Solar Control Glass Film
Solar control glass film for optimal comfort, energy savings and UV protection - discover the benefits at Glass Film Suncontrol.
Why choose solar control glass film?
Windows let in a lot of sunlight and heat, especially in the summer. This causes an unpleasant rise in temperature in the home or office and can lead to higher energy costs due to excessive use of air conditioning.
Solar control glass film offers the ideal solution:
✔ Reduces heat to 84%. Keep your rooms pleasantly cool in summer.
✔ Blocks 99% from harmful UV radiation. Prevents discoloration of furniture, floors and curtains.
✔ Lower energy costs. Reduced need for air conditioning and fans.
✔ No looking in, yet a view out. Bright daylight without distracting reflections or glare.
✔ Works as an effective film for windows against sun. Prevents overheating without darkening.
✔ Suitable for homes, offices and commercial spaces.
How does solar window film work?
Solar control glass film is composed of multiple layers of transparent polyester with a reflective layer containing metal particles, such as aluminum or silver, between them. This unique composition ensures that:
- Heat is reflected: Infrared rays from the sun are reflected back, keeping the temperature inside more comfortable.
- Light filtered: Excess bright sunlight is softened, reducing glare.
- UV radiation is blocked: The film protects up to 99% from harmful UV rays, preventing discoloration of furniture and floors.
Thanks to this innovative technology, solar control glass film is an efficient and sustainable solution for heat protection and energy savings.

Glass film Suncontrol innovates: 'Sputtercoat technique'
The in-house technique of manufacturing (solar control) glass film has advanced tremendously in a short period of time. Our film is manufactured using a special "sputter-coat" technique. In contrast to the previously used evaporation process, the sputter-coat technique uses the build-up in layers of precious metal alloys. This has significantly improved the building physics properties.
What our customers say about us
Frequently asked questions about solar control glass film
How many degrees cooler will a room stay with solar control film?
On average, a room stays 5 to 10 degrees cooler, depending on location and amount of sunlight.
Can I apply the window film myself?
Yes, but for best results we recommend professional installation. This prevents air bubbles and ensures a perfectly tight finish. This ultimately ensures a longer life of the film.
How long does solar control glass film last?
On average, the film lasts 10 to 15 years, depending on quality, installation and exposure to sun and weather conditions.
Does the film also block views to the outside?
No, you keep a good view to the outside, while inward visibility from the outside is reduced.
Is solar control glass film suitable for HR++ or double glazing?
Yes, but not all films are suitable. For HR++ glass, you should choose a special type of solar control film that prevents thermal breakage. Always get advice from a specialist.
Is solar control film also UV resistant?
Absolutely. Most solar control films block up to 99% of harmful UV radiation. This helps protect interiors and reduces health risks.
Is solar control film better than sun protection such as screens or shutters?
It depends on your needs. Foil is subtle and permanent, while outdoor blinds also create shade. For many people, film is a maintenance-free, aesthetic alternative or addition.
How much heat does solar control film block?
Depending on the type of film, 50% to as much as 85% of solar heat is blocked. The exact effect depends on the film type, color and reflectivity.
Is solar control glass film suitable for offices or commercial buildings?
Sure. It increases working comfort, reduces air conditioning costs and meets energy conservation requirements. Many companies choose foil because of its quick installation without remodeling.
