Window film questions
Straightforward answers to the questions that commonly arise before a film is specified.
A few useful answers
Before you enquire
Can I have measuring, supply and installation together?
Yes. We can coordinate measuring as part of an agreed project, made-to-measure film supply and professional installation. The glazing, product suitability, address and access are checked before the work is confirmed.
Is an initial estimate free?
Yes. Initial estimates by email or WhatsApp are free. Send your postcode, approximate pane count, photographs and any rough sizes you have.
Is a survey free?
Most surveys are free. If a charge applies, the £150 fee including VAT is agreed beforehand and credited against the resulting order. The fee is normally non-refundable once the agreed survey has been provided, subject to your statutory rights.
Can I order supply only?
Yes, UK supply-only enquiries are welcome. We confirm the film, glazing compatibility, final dimensions, cutting instructions and delivery arrangements before you order.
Will privacy film work at night?
Tinted and reflective daytime privacy films depend on the light balance. When a room is brighter than outside, the view in can change. Tell us if night-time privacy is essential; a blind or curtain may still be required.
Can film be fitted to double glazing or polycarbonate?
It depends on the exact product and substrate. Double or triple glazing, existing Low-E coatings and polycarbonate need specific compatibility checks. Do not assume every film is suitable for every surface.
Will UV film stop all fading?
No. Suitable film can reduce UV exposure, but visible light, heat and the material itself also contribute to fading. It cannot guarantee that furnishings or displays will never change colour.
Does security film make glass unbreakable?
No. A suitable film can help retain fragments after glass breaks, but it does not make the glass unbreakable or guarantee protection against forced entry or injury. The system and evidence must match the project requirement.
Can I request a sample?
Yes. Save your film interests to the shortlist and send them with the form. We confirm sample availability, format and any sample or delivery charge before arranging despatch.
Do you provide measurements for another supplier?
No. Measuring is part of an agreed AdamsBlinds supply or installation project. We do not offer a standalone measuring service that hands over measurements for use elsewhere.
What guarantees apply?
The standard product guarantee is 12 months and the installation workmanship guarantee is 6 months. Any additional manufacturer cover is confirmed for the product and quotation. Your statutory rights remain unaffected.
