Check your glazing before choosing film

Two windows that look alike can have very different glazing. Confirming what is already fitted is an essential part of selecting a suitable film.

Discuss your requirements

What we need to know

Tell us whether the panes are single, double or triple glazed, and whether the glass is toughened, laminated, tinted or coated. A spacer-bar marking, original invoice or glazing specification can help. If the roof uses polycarbonate, say so.

Photographs are useful, but they cannot identify every coating or construction detail. We may need further information or an on-site assessment before confirming suitability.

Why the combination matters

Film changes how the glazing handles light and solar energy. Compatibility and thermal-stress risk depend on the particular film, glass construction, shading, pane condition and installation surface. An existing Low-E coating needs to be included in that assessment.

Do not cover a cracked pane or a failed sealed unit in the hope of repairing it. Film is a surface treatment and does not restore defective glazing or frames.

Sizes, seals and existing film

Measurements help us prepare a quotation, but dimensions alone do not establish glazing suitability. Existing film may need removal, and access to the glass edges can affect the work. Mention seals, gaskets, roof supports and any difficult-to-reach panes.

Our measuring, made-to-measure supply and professional installation service is specified around the agreed system. For supply only, the final dimensions and glazing information must still be checked and accepted before manufacture or cutting.
