Conservation Window Film & Blinds
Protect your conservation building with our extensive range of window films and blinds.
Ultraviolet radiation, the main cause (40%) of deterioration of fabrics, furnishings and paint media, can be virtually eliminated with an application of Sun-X MT90 Clear Ultraviolet Filter to the existing window glass without altering the external appearance of the windows or affecting visibility in any way.
Visible/Direct light and heat are responsible for an additional 50% of fade damage, but it can be reduced to acceptable levels in two ways:
Neutral Density Light Reducing Ultraviolet Filters, which:
- Reduce solar heat gain and visible light
- Do not affect the colour temperature or colour rendering of incident light
- Designed specifically for museum and art gallery use
Heavy-Duty Traditional Roller Blinds
In museums, art galleries and historic houses, where reduction of lux levels is a priority but where a tinted light-reducing filter is aesthetically or architecturally unacceptable, we recommend the use of Sun-X Traditional Cap & Rack, Check Action or Flange-End roller blinds.
Manufactured to National Trust specifications in our own workshops from a wide range of high-quality materials, these blinds are tailored to suit individual requirements.
Key Benefits
- Eliminate ultraviolet radiation
- Reduce visible light and heat
- Significantly reduce fading

Frequently Asked Questions
Is it expensive?
- Solar Film - in a commercial context, it can pay for itself in as little as three years, based on energy savings on heating & cooling systems.
- Safety Film - much less expensive than glass replacement, prevents damage to people, IT equipment/display stock, and prevents legal liabilities from injury caused by shattered glass.
- Privacy Film - significantly less expensive than sandblasting, and can be removed/replaced.
- UV Film - restoration from sun damage will be much more expensive; some objects are priceless.
My windows are out of arm's reach - can you help?
Sun-X manufactures and installs a wide range of motorised systems, now including battery & solar powered ranges, avoiding the cost and invasive installation of electrical wiring.
Will it have bubbles and creases?
No, not when professionally installed by Sun-X trained and highly experienced personnel. The clearer variety of films will even be invisible to the human eye.
The solar film has made a real difference in keeping the office cooler, and people passing the office see the printed blind & come in to see us!
