Solar Control Window Film: How It Lowers Energy Bills in WA and NSW

placeholder

With long, hot summers in Western Australia and year-round glare across much of New South Wales, cooling your home or office can be a costly exercise.

Solar control window film is a proven way to cut energy costs by improving your glass performance without replacing your windows or blocking natural light.

What is Solar Control window film?

Solar control film is a high-performance window film that reduces the amount of solar energy entering your space. It works by:

  • Blocking heat-producing infrared rays

  • Filtering out up to 99% of UV rays

  • Reducing harsh glare without darkening your room

It’s applied to existing glass and starts working immediately to lower indoor temperatures.

How it helps cut cooling costs

By reducing solar heat gain, solar film lowers your need for constant air conditioning. That means:

  • Less strain on HVAC systems


  • Lower peak demand during hot days

  • Reduced energy bills across both homes and commercial buildings


Over time, the savings can quickly cover the cost of installation especially in sun-exposed areas like Perth, Fremantle, Newcastle or Western Sydney.

Ideal places to use Solar film

  • North and west-facing windows

  • Open-plan living spaces

  • Home offices or media rooms

  • Shopfronts, cafes and office fitouts

  • Schools, aged care and government buildings

Added benefits beyond energy savings

Solar control film doesn’t just reduce your energy use, it also:

  • Extends the life of furnishings, floors and artwork

  • Minimises eye strain from excessive glare

  • Increases year-round comfort, especially in glass-heavy rooms

  • May support compliance with energy performance ratings (e.g. NABERS)
