Conservatory window film
Reduce heat, glare, and UV exposure with high-performance conservatory window films from Southgate UK. Designed for both glass and polycarbonate roofs, our solar-control films create a cooler, more comfortable space, without blocking natural light.
Conservatory Window Film for Glass & Polycarbonate Roofs
Conservatories should be bright, comfortable spaces, yet excessive heat, glare and UV exposure often make them difficult to enjoy year-round.
Southgate UK supplies and installs premium conservatory window films engineered to keep interiors cooler in summer, warmer in winter and protected from the damaging effects of sunlight.
Our range of conservatory glass films and polycarbonate roof films provides an effective solar-control solution for both residential and commercial conservatories, delivering long-term comfort without compromising light or views.
Why Your Conservatory Needs Window Film
Sunlight streaming through large areas of glazing can quickly raise internal temperatures, causing uncomfortable glare, fading of furnishings and increased energy costs.
A professionally applied conservatory window film acts as a high-performance shield that:
- Reduces solar heat gain by up to 80 %
- Cuts glare and eye strain for comfortable living and working
- Blocks more than 99 % of harmful UV rays
- Helps stabilise internal temperatures year-round
- Improves energy efficiency and lowers cooling costs
With decades of experience in solar-control and glazing-film technology, Southgate UK provides solutions tested for performance, clarity and durability across every type of conservatory glazing.
How Conservatory Window Film Works
Key Performance Metrics
Our solar-control films use advanced multi-layer coatings to reflect infrared radiation while maintaining visible light transmission (VLT).
Typical metrics include:
- TSER (Total Solar Energy Rejection): measures overall heat reduction.
- VLT (Visible Light Transmission): determines daylight retained.
- UV Block: 99 % protection from fading and discolouration.
Types of Glazing & Compatibility
Southgate films are available for:
- Standard and toughened glass panes
- Double-glazed and laminated units
- Polycarbonate roof sheets
Each surface type requires a tailored adhesive and thickness to ensure long-lasting clarity and bond integrity.
Films for Glass Roofs & Side Windows
Our conservatory glass films combine solar control with aesthetic choice. Options include:
- Neutral Films – subtle appearance with balanced heat and glare reduction.
- Reflective Films – mirror-like finish offering maximum solar rejection and one-way privacy.
- Dual-Reflective Films – glare control with a softer internal appearance.
- Clear Ceramic Films – near-invisible protection ideal where natural light is key.
Each product line maintains optical clarity while improving occupant comfort and protecting valuable furnishings.
Films for Polycarbonate Roofs
Polycarbonate conservatory roofs demand specialist treatment. Standard adhesive films can trap heat or cause discolouration, which is why Southgate UK supplies purpose-designed polycarbonate roof films formulated for safe adhesion and heat dispersion.
Benefits include:
- Significant temperature reduction under the roof canopy
- Reduction of glare and UV without blocking light completely
- Improved comfort and energy efficiency
- Clean, uniform appearance with minimal maintenance
Our installers assess your specific polycarbonate type and orientation to recommend the correct solution.
