Solar film window wrapping is one of the most versatile solutions here at Joyce Design. It can enhance energy efficiency, regulate light levels, and deliver both immediate and long-term value.
Whether you're upgrading a retail business, a corporate office, or a hospitality space; solar film window wrapping is always a smart investment.
What Is Solar Film Window Wrapping?
Solar film window wrapping involves applying a performance-engineered film to the inside or outside of glazed surfaces. These specialist films are designed to regulate temperature, reduce glare, protect interiors from UV damage, and enhance privacy; all without blocking natural light.
At Joyce Design, we work with high-quality solar control films from leading manufacturers such as 3M™ ensuring that our customers benefit from advanced materials backed by science and performance data.
Our wrapping solutions are then professionally installed with minimal disruption and offer an immediate visual upgrade.
Energy Efficiency And Climate Control
One of the most important benefits of solar window wrapping is its ability to regulate temperature. Solar films can significantly reduce heat build-up during the summer months, whilst improving heat retention in the winter.
Our 3M™ solar control window films can reflect up to 77% of the sun’s heat, making them a smart choice for energy-conscious businesses. Additionally, temperature control reduces strain on existing cooling or heating systems, which can extend their lifespan and lower operational costs.
UV Protection
Over time, exposure to UV rays can fade signage and merchandise whilst also contributing to skin damage. Joyce Design’s solar film window wrapping can block up to 99% of harmful UV rays, making them an essential tool for businesses that value long-lasting interiors and staff/visitor health.
Additional Benefits
Glare Reduction for Better Productivity
Glare is one of the most common workplace disruptions, particularly in environments where screens are in constant use. Excessive sunlight can create harsh reflections, leading to eye strain and affecting employee concentration and customer satisfaction.
Solar control window wrapping offers a clean, effective solution. By reducing glare without the need for blinds or curtains, businesses can maintain an open, naturally lit space that remains productive throughout the day.
Privacy Without Sacrificing Light
In environments where discretion is important, such as healthcare, education, or corporate settings, privacy is key. Tinted and reflective solar films help to prevent outside viewers from seeing inside, without blocking access to daylight.
Aesthetic Upgrade and Brand Consistency
We offer a wide selection of decorative finishes and tints, including the 3M™ Fasara Glass Decorative Film range, to help you achieve a modern aesthetic that reflects your brand values. Whether you want a minimalist look or a branded pattern, we can tailor your film to complement existing interiors or branding strategies.
Environmental Responsibility
At Joyce Design, we champion sustainability in every project we deliver:
- Our window films are designed for long-term performance, minimising the need for frequent replacements.
- All controlled waste from installations is processed with a zero-waste-to-landfill policy.

3M™ Safety And Security
3M™ Safety and Security Solar Films can act as a discreet security feature. Once applied, these films hold glass together even when shattered, which:
- Reduces the risk of injury from broken glass
- Deters smash-and-grab theft attempts
- Enhances building safety standards
3M™ Ultra
3M™ Ultra Series window films are an ideal choice for high-risk environments such as hospitals, shopping centres, public transport hubs, and government buildings. As public safety measures evolve with initiatives like Martin’s Law, these films offer crucial protection against bomb blasts and forced impacts.
Designed to absorb shock and hold shattered glass in place, 3M™ Ultra films significantly reduce the risk of injury from flying shards. When combined with a glass containment system, they provide enhanced blast mitigation. Available in clear and tinted finishes, they also allow for customisation to suit the specific aesthetic and privacy needs of any space.
