Well, I have actually installed some heat reducing window film on the windows at my house, however it seems that they either do not work, or they are just broken or something like that. However, my parents have got the same heat reducing film and they are actually working pretty fine. And yeah, they just do not reduce light, they only reduce the heat. In a couple of weeks I will be moving into a new house, I guess I will give these flms another try. Actually, I guess I will ask the guys from https://www.skwindows.ie/sash-windows as they are having some outstanding windows, and maybe they have some windows which come with the heat reducing film, or maybe a better alternative.
How was your experience? Would like to know if it can last. Thanks!

there are now photochromic films to solve this issue though. Tinted when sun/UV is strong, less tinted when sun/UV is weaker so that in the day, hard to look in, at night, easy to look out.

Here is an example: https://www.oasisdeco.sg/pc-series-photochromic

There is some difference BUT remember that if the windows are closed and there is exposure to afternoon sun, room temperature will still increase. the installer was trying to explain, sorry I can’t remember.


So far it has lasted quite well, except I was told to use only very mild cleaning agents - cannot newspapers to ‘polish’, but I will use wet cloth and then.scraper to dry the windows.

I chose the company because it offered the lowest quote among the 3 I've contacted. The sales person will come down to your place to take measurement, show you a a catalogue for you to pick the shades you prefer, and then give you a quotation based on your choice.

Workmanship was good. And I do find the film effective as well. 😄

The above just an example of what to look out for , ie, light, ir, uv.
Maybe there are more betterer suppliers in SG. I’m sure they can recommend installer too.

ammonite:
I am looking to install the above - I only want to reduce the heat and not the light. Does anyone have experience with regards to brands and companies etc? I have not seen any recent threads on this and will appreciate some input. Thank you!

Choose one with high IR rejection.

Some makers make thicker film which is good for noise rejection too
