Reducing Heat & Improving Comfort

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

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.
Privacy & Appearance
At Out of the Sun in Spain, we help homeowners and businesses reduce heat, glare, and fading, improve privacy, and increase safety — all with high-quality solar, privacy, and security window films.
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.
Will solar window film change how my home looks?
It can — but usually for the better. Reflective or tinted films give a modern, sleek appearance, while clear films are virtually invisible.
Can people see inside at night with privacy film?
Reflective privacy films work best during the day. At night, when lights are on inside, visibility from outside increases. Frosted or blackout films are best for full night privacy.
Can window film prevent my furniture from fading?
Yes. Window film blocks 99% of harmful UV rays, protecting your furniture, flooring, and curtains from fading and sun damage.
