Solartek Films Ltd

Solartek Films, window film specialists in the United Kingdom

Solartek Films Ltd is a British company founded in 2001 that supplies and installs window films for commercial and residential applications throughout the United Kingdom. Its directors have more than 35 years of experience in the sector. The company has worked with prestigious companies in the United Kingdom and Europe, and holds national contracts to meet the window film, manifestation graphics and digitally printed film needs of some of the country's largest glazing companies.

Solar control, energy saving and thermal comfort

The company offers a range of solar control films that combine heat and glare reduction with comfort and privacy. Its energy solutions include an insulation film with a patented construction that retains up to 93% of the heat that would normally be lost through glass. It also markets heat reduction films to lower energy costs in homes and workplaces, and glare reduction films aimed at improving working conditions. For buildings that need to make better use of natural light, it offers a daylight redirecting solution that brings natural light deeper into the interior.

Security, blast protection and edge retention

Solartek Films installs security and protective films that shield glazing against vandalism, accidental damage and criminal damage. Its blast protection film provides security and impact resistance against terrorist attacks, extreme weather events, crime, earthquakes and industrial explosions. The company complements these solutions with edge retention systems that, together with safety and blast films, offer additional protection against flying or falling glass. It also carries out glass risk assessment surveys to verify the safety and regulatory compliance of glazing.

Privacy, manifestation graphics and glazing regulations

The company offers privacy films in opaque, frosted, coloured or digitally printed finishes, designed to preserve privacy and prevent opportunistic crime. To comply with office glazing regulations, it offers manifestation graphics and digitally printed films. Its catalogue also includes reactive films with frosted and coloured designs that enhance glass and meet legal visibility requirements, and a privacy film that reproduces the look of classic reeded glass from 1960s and 1970s designs. It also markets an electrical film that switches from transparent to opaque.

Asset protection, graffiti and birds

Its conservation solutions include fade reduction films, which protect assets from the effects of the sun, and Solar Gard's Graffiti Gard film, a virtually invisible barrier against graffiti. The company also offers a bird strike prevention film, presented as an innovation in bird conservation. To protect businesses from electronic eavesdropping, it markets EMI films that block electromagnetic frequencies.

Projects and clients

The company has carried out energy saving projects at Chelsea Harbour Hotel & Spa and Haberdashers Askes Foundation, blast protection at Lord's Cricket Ground and heat reduction at a Mr John Harris facility. Clients who have provided testimonials include the Natural History Museum, Easyjet and the property management team of the Obel project, which highlighted the installation of solar film as part of the internal improvements to its apartments and suites. Solartek Films works with brands such as 3M, Llumar, Solar Screen and Spylock.
