Safety Window Films

Experts predict that over the coming years storms will become more intense with higher winds, more ferocious seas and heavier precipitation. Safety window films from PR Solar can help protect your expensive double-glazed windows, and everything that’s behind them, from high winds and flying debris. Security window films are also effective against extreme weather events, providing an additional layer of protection. Additionally, safety glass film plays a crucial role in protecting against hazards by preventing glass shattering and ensuring compliance with safety regulations.

Other than to help protect them, no. Some homeowners are concerned that safety films might somehow prevent their double-glazed windows from sealing properly. This is not the case. If a seal fails on a double-glazed window it will be a manufacturing defect and not the result of a window film.

There are some DIYers who insist on buying window films at the big box store and handling the installation themselves. But if you are to reap all the benefits of these films you’ll need the practised hand of the experienced installer.

Safety window film won’t change the physical thickness of your glass, but it will make it harder to break through. It holds the glass together if struck, which helps absorb impact and slow down entry attempts. For homes or businesses with vulnerable glazing, this adds a useful layer of defence.

At PR Solar Window Film, we supply and install clear, high-quality films that support your glass in case of accidents or break-ins. It’s a simple, discreet way to increase safety without replacing your windows. Many of our customers choose it for peace of mind.

It won’t stop determined entry entirely, but it definitely slows things down. The film holds broken glass in place and makes windows much more difficult to smash through. That delay can be enough to deter someone or buy time for action.

We’ve fitted these films on properties across the UK where security is a concern, especially on ground floor windows. It’s not a replacement for alarms or locks, but it’s a valuable extra layer.

While safety film’s primary role is to hold glass together, we also offer tinted and combined films that do more. These can reduce solar heat and glare on top of improving safety, making rooms feel cooler and more comfortable.

If that’s something you’re interested in, we’ll guide you through the right film type when we visit. We’re always happy to show different samples and talk through your options during the quote. One solution doesn’t have to mean one benefit.

No, you don’t need any planning permission to apply window film in most cases. It’s considered a non-invasive upgrade and won’t change the structure or external look of your property.

That said, if your building is listed or in a conservation area, it’s always worth checking with your local council first. We’ve worked on many types of properties and can offer advice during your site visit if needed.

Yes, our safety window films also provide strong UV protection. They block up to 99% of harmful ultraviolet rays, which are one of the main causes of faded fabrics, flooring and artwork. That protection starts working as soon as the film is installed.

Many of our clients notice the difference in south-facing rooms where sun exposure is higher. If you’re concerned about your rugs or sofa losing colour, this is a quiet but effective solution. And you won’t need to compromise on daylight either.
