Below you'll find answers to the most common questions our customers ask before installing window film in Málaga, Granada, Almería, Murcia, and Alicante.

How can I stop heat from coming through my windows in Spain?

The most effective solution is solar control window film. It reflects up to 80% of the sun's heat and blocks 99% of UV rays, keeping your home cooler without changing the glass or blocking your view. 

Does solar window film really make a difference in temperature?

Yes. Homes and offices with our professional solar film can feel up to 7°C cooler on hot days — instantly improving comfort and reducing the need for air conditioning.

Will solar window film make my rooms dark?

No. Our modern films reduce heat and glare while allowing plenty of natural daylight to pass through. You'll enjoy a bright, comfortable space without losing light or visibility.

Does solar window film also help in the winter?

Absolutely. In winter, the same film reflects heat energy back into your home, improving insulation and helping to reduce heating costs. Solar window film is a year-round comfort upgrade.

Can solar window film reduce my electricity bills?

Yes. By lowering the need for air conditioning in summer and retaining warmth in winter, solar window film helps cut energy costs all year long.

Will solar window film work on double-glazed windows?

Yes. We use films designed for all glass types — single, double, laminated, or tempered. Our installers choose the correct film to prevent any thermal stress.

Does window film reduce glare?

Definitely. It reduces glare by up to 80%, making it easier to watch TV or work on a computer without closing your curtains.

How long does solar window film last?

Our premium American-made films are built to last 5–10 years, depending on exposure and film type, and include a full manufacturer's warranty.

Is solar window film better than blinds or curtains?

Yes. Blinds and curtains block light but not heat. Solar window film stops heat before it enters, keeping your rooms cooler while keeping your view clear.

Can I apply solar window film to skylights or conservatories?

Absolutely. It's ideal for sunrooms, verandas, and skylights, where glass receives direct sunlight and heat build-up is strongest.

Does solar film also provide privacy?

Many solar films offer daytime one-way privacy — you can see out, but others can't see in. For 24-hour privacy, we recommend frosted or tinted privacy films.
