FAQs

1. Will window film make my house too dark?

Not at all. Our residential films are designed to block heat and UV without sacrificing natural light. We offer various tints — from ultra-clear to lightly tinted — so you can maintain brightness while enjoying the benefits of film.

2. Can window film be removed later?

Yes, it’s fully removable. All our films can be professionally removed without damaging your glass. This is ideal for rented homes or if you decide to upgrade or change the look in the future.

3. Does the film go on the inside or outside?

Most residential films are applied to the inside of the window, which protects the film from weathering and increases lifespan. However, for hard-to-reach windows or certain types of glass, we also offer specialist external films.

4. Is planning permission required?

No, not usually. Window films are considered a non-structural enhancement, so you won’t need planning permission for most homes. If your property is listed or in a conservation area, we can advise you on the best approach.

5. Can I choose different films for different rooms?

Definitely. Bedrooms may benefit from privacy film, while sunrooms might need UV or heat control. We offer tailored solutions for every room in your home.

6. Will it help with energy bills?

Yes. Heat control films reduce the need for cooling in summer and some insulating films help retain warmth in winter — all contributing to lower energy bills.

7. How long does installation take?

Usually just a few hours. Most homes can be completed in a single day. Our team works quickly and cleanly, with minimal disruption.

“I can’t praise their product and company enough. Old fashioned customer service. Nothing was too much trouble for them. I highly recommend. Many thanks.”

“Really pleased with the work James has done on our windows, explained everything thoroughly before starting, fitted one window panel with the film to make sure we were happy and so we could see the difference before continuing. Arranging everything with Scotia Window Films was very easy and wouldn't hesitate to use them again if we ever needed to. Thanks to Scotia Window Films!”

“Recently had an installation on a conservatory glass roof and side windows. James was exceptional at describing what he was going to do and kept us informed at every stage. Superb service. The film has made a big difference to reducing the glare on our South facing conservatory and also it has made the area look so much neater than fitted blinds. Would definitely recommend to anybody that is currently looking at window films as an alternative to conservatory blinds and would highly recommend using Scotia Window Films to install.”
