Frequently Asked Questions

What are the benefits of Ultra Vision™ window film?

Ultra Vision™ generates a more controllable environment by reducing hot spots and increased temperatures resulting from direct expose to the sun. The window film's construction maximises the amount of the visible light to pass through, blocking up to 83% of the infrared rays that are part of the total solar heat entering your glass. It provides protection to fading e.g. window displays, flooring, curtains, furniture and antiques enabling long-term durability to your interiors. The window film prevents almost all of the harmful ultraviolet rays along with solar heat, the two main causes of fading and allows occupants to enjoy the natural light they are used to.

Why have Ultra Vision™ window film applied to my existing glazing?

Ultra Vision™ prevents solar heat from entering a building whilst still allowing natural light in, reduces the demand on air conditioning which in turn reduces energy demand and helps protect interior furnishings and fittings from fading. It is ideal for store/shop fronts or at home in your conservatory and does not alter the look of your glazing or building. It lowers energy consumption in cooling a building, generating a reduction in energy costs.

What are the benefits compared with external solar protection systems?

External solar protection such as blinds, brie soleil or shutters will slow down some of the heat, however, they will also limit natural light and affect your view. Ultra Vision™ protects against infrared and ultraviolet rays, yet maintains the visible light. Unlike shutters and blinds, Ultra Vision™ is easy to maintain and requires no need for expensive cleaning. It can be easily applied to your existing glazing with little disruption and will perform for many years.

What are the advantages compared to internal solar protection systems?

Internal solar protection systems such as blinds, curtains or shutters prevent the natural light from entering; you lose your light and your view. Air-conditioning will reduce the temperature, but these are very expensive to run, costly to install and by using electricity; increase your carbon footprint. Ultra Vision™, once installed onto your existing glass, reduces solar heat whenever the sun is there – even when you’re not there to physically close the blinds or curtains.

Will it alter the appearance of my glass?

Either viewed internally or externally Ultra Vision™ window film is virtually undetectable allowing the maximum amount of visible light to enter. Unlike more traditional window films the visible light reflection is similar to that of glass so you will not see any significant increase in the reflectivity of the window. This film is suited for the home, retail outlets, historical and commercial buildings where sensitivity has to be given to any change in the glazing appearance. With Ultra Vision™ you can keep cooler, reduce your energy, protect your interiors and maintain your natural light, all with one simple cost effective application to your existing glass. You may not see the change but you will feel it in many ways.

How is Ultra Vision film fitted?

Your Ultra Vision™ film will be professionally installed by either 1 or 2 trained operatives. Most domestic, retail and small-medium size commercial applications will be completed within a day, with minimal disruption to your daily routine. Ultra Vision™ is applied using a mild, non-toxic water solution. After installation, the working area will be left clean and tidy. The applied film is virtually un-detectable, having the same appearance as slightly tinted glass- yet with much improved solar performance.

How do I clean the windows after application?

As you have always done either using a soft cloth or squeegee with a mild detergent/water solution.
