SOLAR FILM
FOR HOMES
AND OFFICES

Most high-quality solar films from Surfexa can reject between 50% to 80% of total solar energy. This doesn’t just make the room more comfortable; it significantly reduces the load on your air conditioning, which can lead to lower energy bills over time.

Not necessarily. Surfexa’s solar films come in various VLT (Visible Light Transmission) levels. You can choose a “spectrally selective” film that blocks heat and UV rays while remaining virtually clear, allowing you to keep your natural light and view.

This is a common misconception. Daytime privacy films (one-way mirror effect) rely on light balance—they work when it is brighter outside than inside. At night, when your interior lights are on, the effect reverses. For 24/7 privacy, frosted or decorative films are the better choice. Surfexa’s team will help advise.

While no film can stop fading 100% (as it is also caused by heat and visible light), solar films block up to 99.9% of UV rays, which are the primary culprit. This significantly extends the life and color of your flooring, artwork, and upholstery. Surfexa’s team will help advise.

For Surfexa, the process is “wet” and non-invasive. We clean the glass thoroughly, trim the film to fit, and use a specialized solution to squeegee it onto the pane. A standard residential installation (e.g., a living room and two bedrooms) typically takes about 3 to 5 hours.

Bubbling is usually a sign of poor installation or low-grade adhesive. Professional-grade films like Surfexa use “dry” adhesive systems that bond chemically to the glass. When installed by Surfexa, the film should remain crystal clear and intact for 10 to 15 years or more.

Once the film is fully cured (usually about 30 days), you can clean them as usual. However, you should avoid abrasive brushes and ammonia-based cleaners. A soft microfiber cloth and mild soapy water are all you need. Surfexa’s team will help advise.

Certain “High Absorption” films aren’t suitable for specific types of glass (like double-paned or laminated glass) because they can cause thermal stress. This is why a professional pre-installation assessment is vital; we ensure the film type is safely matched to your specific glass type. Surfexa’s team will help advise.

Most homeowners find that visibility is improved. By reducing glare from the sun, the film acts like a high-quality pair of sunglasses for your windows, making colors appear more vivid and reducing eye strain. Unless you choose a very dark or reflective tint, the film is designed to be optically clear so you can still enjoy your view. Surfexa’s team will help advise.

Surfexa’s solar film is designed to be a long-term solution, but it is not permanent. If you ever decide to remove it, the film can be peeled away using a specialized professional steamer or a simple solution of water and ammonia.

Surfexa solar film is completely non-toxic and odor-free once installed. In fact, it provides two major safety benefits for families which are skin & eye protection & shatter resistance as well.
