Homes near the river often have large windows and bright low sun, which makes glare and fading a real issue. Solar film cuts glare and UV while keeping the room bright. Ground-floor privacy is the other common job, and frosted or reeded film on street-facing glass gives privacy without losing daylight. We match each film to your glass before quoting.

Which film?
The right film for the problem you have.
Most people start with a problem, not a product. This is how we usually match the two for homes and businesses in St Ives. Each film has its own page with photos and details.
Your glass comes first. Solar films warm the glass they sit on, and some sealed units cope better than others, so we assess yours before suggesting a film.
Which side? Interior fitting is the usual route. For some glazing, such as double and triple units, skylights and hard-to-reach panes, an exterior-grade film can be the better answer.
A summer benefit. Expect less glare, less heat gain and less UV. Do not expect it to heat your home in winter.
Clear paperwork. You get the film name, the glass assessment and the warranty terms in your quote. More detail is on our solar window film page.
Working in St Ives
How a window film job runs in St Ives.
Homes near the river often have large windows with bright, low sun, and ground-floor rooms that face the street. We fit frosted and reeded film for privacy and solar film for glare and fading, always matched to your glass first. For shops and offices around the town centre, we can work out of hours so you keep trading. Send photos of the glass and tell us the direction it faces, and you will get a clear recommendation and a fixed quote within 24 hours.
Homes and businesses
Window film for homes, offices and venues.
Domestic jobs tend to be privacy in bathrooms and ground-floor rooms, heat and glare in sunny spaces, and decoration on doors.

We work with offices, retail, schools, healthcare, hospitality and landlords and letting agents, often outside working hours. For more, see the window film guide.

The fitting
How window film is fitted, and what to expect.
We clean and measure each pane, cut the film to size, apply it wet, squeegee it flat and trim it neatly to the edge. Most jobs take an hour to half a day, and you can use the room straight away.
While the film cures, small moisture pockets can appear for a few days and usually fade without any action. We pass on aftercare advice, including when to clean, and give you the 10-year warranty in writing.
