Protect your property
UV Window Films
Protect your property from harmful UV rays with professional quality UV window films. Designed to block up to 99.5% of harmful UV rays, this UV protection window film helps prevent fading, sun damage and long-term deterioration of fabrics, furnishings and artwork, while still allowing natural light to pass through your windows.
What is a UV Window Film?
A UV window film is a thin, durable adhesive film that is applied directly to glass windows to block harmful ultraviolet light and UV radiation from entering a building. Available in totally clear, clear UV, tinted and solar control options, this protection window film creates an effective barrier against the damaging effects of UV light. It helps protect skin, furnishings, furniture, flooring and artwork from fading, skin damage and premature ageing, while still allowing natural light into the room.
Highly effective
and affordable UV window films
Whilst sunlight streaming into our properties can be a lovely sight, we do not want the harmful effects of ultraviolet light reaching us or our interiors. Even behind glass, prolonged exposure to UV rays can still lead to sun damage, skin damage and fading of carpets, fabrics, furnishings and furniture. Standard glass offers only limited UV protection. Our UV window films help block harmful UV rays, reduce the risk of fading and support solar control, making rooms more comfortable while preserving what matters most. The blue outline shows the effect of UV window film. The red outline demonstrates the intensity of the sun’s rays when a window has not been fitted with UV protection film.

26th May 2020PR Solar have just applied their specialist film to our whole conservatory roof and doors, due to having to work from home because of Covid-19 Makes an amazing difference to the heat temperature and glare reduction in the room. So pleased to have found Paul and have this installed before Summer really kicks in. Cannot recommend highly enough.

22nd May 2020Friendly reliable staff, fitted the film with efficiency, professionalism, and quality is outstanding. You can really notice a difference to the heat in the conservatory. Whilst light still comes in, the heat has been reduced dramatically so no longer feels like a sauna. We are west open facing meaning sun moves around the side of the windows then above normally trapping so much heat. In 24hrs the difference is amazing! Thanks Paul!

27th April 2020Very professional, Paul explained fully about the products and price, absolutely perfect fit for my windows, I am very happy with the results. We are on street level so everyone can look in when they walk past, the net curtains hid the view and light and harboured dust, it has completely changed our living room and kitchen, to be able to look out and have the light in, from the outside it looks totally natural and people cannot see inside. Would highly recommend, clean fast, superb service.

Paul installed window film on our bi-fold doors in our garden room, and kitchen and lounge windows. Having had skin cancer recently, I was concerned about UV and wanted to continue to enjoy our garden room without having anxiety. Skin cancers are becoming increasingly common and PR Solar Window Film is the ideal solution. It also prevents our furnishings fading! I was impressed by the installation - efficient, professional and a fantastic result! Highly recommend this service to all and everyone.

29th February 2020Nice quality finish, from the outside it gives the windows a bit of shine but doesn't look over the top, it gives the appearance of looking at an empty dark room. From the inside - you can't see it! Quick service and no mess. Great, I would recommend PR Solar to anyone wanting privacy film, our new windows now look very stylish.

Tips for Maintaining Your UV Window Film
- Clean the film regularly: Use a mild soap solution and a lint-free cloth to clean the film. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as they can damage the film and affect its smooth finish.
- Avoid using high-pressure washes: High-pressure washing can damage the film or cause it to lift at the edges.
- Avoid exposing the film to extreme conditions: Excessive heat or poor care can reduce long-term performance.
- Check the film for damage: Regularly inspect for scratches, creases or wear. If you notice a problem, contact a professional installer for advice.
By following these maintenance tips, you can help ensure your UV window film remains effective and continues to provide long-lasting protection against harmful UV rays.
