Film for condo windows

[HauptmannUK]

My wife's condo catches the afternoon sun and she is suggesting we get a film applied - similar to that used on cars.

Anyone tried this and can recommend a competent supplier/fitter?

Same people that do the cars.  No rec. just suggestion, make sure they start with a new box, not to mix tint, so it's not two tone, as not all of the same is actually the same.  Had that issue at the house.

I have recently moved condo but my previous condo, which I rented, had had the film applied by my landlord. My rooms, which had full sun in the afternoons, were never hot and my electric bills were significantly lower than a smaller condo which I previously lived in. I would suggest that the film is a good investment. I'm sorry, but I don't know the name of the company who installed the film, but I believe they came from Bangkok to fit it in Pattaya. Hope you can find a good company. Regards, thoengthaied.

South Korean manufactured film, with 99% UV A and B filtration and a dark grey metallic tint would be the best investment. Avoid inferior Chinese tint film that will definitely not perform as well. The labour component cost will be the same, but the film cost may be 100-150% more but well worth the additional investment. Seek out a reputable business that specialises in premium door, window and car tinting.. Heat reduction, additional insulation, less glare and fade reducing of furnishings are the benefits of using a premium film material. And insist on a one year plus warranty. Try Google or a reputable new car dealership for recommendations, would be my suggestion. And South Korean manufacturer..
