Solar control window film
Solar control window film is a tinted film applied to flat glass to cut solar heat, glare, and ultraviolet light before they reach the room. FancyFix manufactures solar control window film in two builds — an adhesive PET film and a static cling PVC film — across nine stock shades, with solar heat rejection measured from 44% to 85% depending on the shade, for brands, retailers, and distributors on an OEM, wholesale, and custom basis.
Request a QuoteSolar film sells on a figure, not on a feeling.
Solar control window film is the one window film a customer buys for a measurable reason. A shopper picks frosted film for how it looks and solar film for how a room feels in August, which means the pack has to carry something checkable. FancyFix measures every stock shade and hands the buyer the figures to print, so the claim on the shelf is the claim the film can keep.
Five ways solar control window film grows the business you already run:
Heat rejection and glare reduction do not move together.
Solar heat rejection and glare reduction are separate measurements, and the darkest shade is not automatically better at both. Across the five FancyFix adhesive shades, the brown-silver film rejects 85% of solar heat but cuts glare by 13%, while the gray-blue film rejects 56% of heat and cuts glare by 36%. A range built on the assumption that darker is better will mis-sell to the customer whose real complaint is screen glare rather than temperature.
Numbers on the pack are what stop the return.
Solar control window film comes back when the pack promised a feeling instead of a figure. FancyFix supplies solar heat rejection, glare reduction, visible light reflectance, and ultraviolet figures shade by shade, so a listing can state what that specific film does. A shopper who reads 82% solar heat rejection and 16.67% visible light reflectance before buying is a shopper who does not open a refund case in the first hot week.
One function, two builds, two shoppers.
Solar control window film runs at FancyFix as an adhesive PET film 0.07 mm thick without its liner and as a static cling PVC film 0.16 mm thick without its liner. Adhesive suits trade counters, fitters, and film that is meant to stay; static cling suits renters and first-time buyers who want the panel to come off again. One supplier covering both builds lets a buyer serve two very different shoppers without adding a second vendor.
Ultraviolet is where the two builds separate.
Ultraviolet blocking is 99% on every shade of the FancyFix adhesive solar film and between 72.42% and 90.27% on the static cling solar shades. A pack carrying a 99% ultraviolet claim over a cling film states something the film does not support, and an unsupported claim is what gets a marketplace listing pulled. FancyFix gives the ultraviolet figure per build rather than one number for the whole category.
A film that reacts to the sun is a shelf story.
Photochromic window film starts clear, darkens as sunlight strengthens, and lightens again when the light drops. FancyFix photochromic film is a 0.10 mm adhesive PET build that cuts glare by 85% and blocks 97% of ultraviolet light, with solar heat rejection of 16–30%. A range holding one film that visibly changes gives a retail buyer something to demonstrate on a fixture, which a flat tint cannot do.
Browse solar control window film by build and shade.
Solar control window film — also listed as solar window film or sun control window film — is chosen twice: once for how the film attaches, and once for how dark and how reflective the shade is. Pick the build first, because the build decides ultraviolet performance and who can fit the film, then pick the shade against whichever the customer actually complains about — heat or glare. Every line below is manufactured by FancyFix and can go into a quote or a custom development brief.
Adhesive solar control film
Adhesive solar control window film at FancyFix is a PET build 0.10 mm thick with its liner and 0.07 mm without, in five stock shades. Solar heat rejection runs from 44% on the lightest blue shade to 85% on both silver shades, glare reduction from 13% to 36%, and ultraviolet blocking is 99% on every shade in the line. Maximum width is 152 cm.

Static cling solar control film
Static cling solar control window film is a PVC build 0.20 mm thick with its liner and 0.16 mm without, in four silver-based shades. Solar heat rejection runs 79% to 82%, glare reduction 13% to 22%, and ultraviolet blocking 72.42% to 90.27%. A cling build holds by surface contact instead of glue, so the panel can be lifted and re-set — which is what a renter or a first-time buyer is looking for.
Static cling window film
Mirrored & reflective
Mirrored window film is the most reflective end of the FancyFix solar range: a static cling PVC film 0.26 mm thick with its liner and 0.18 mm without, carrying a protective PET layer on the mirror face as well as the release liner on the back. Mirror film rejects 100% of solar heat and blocks 100% of ultraviolet light, and ships in widths up to 152 cm. Daytime one-way privacy comes from that same reflectance.

Photochromic — light-responsive
Photochromic window film darkens under strong sunlight and lightens again when the light drops, so one panel covers a bright afternoon and a dull morning. FancyFix photochromic film is an adhesive PET build 0.12 mm thick with its liner and 0.10 mm without, cutting glare by 85% and blocking 97% of ultraviolet light, with solar heat rejection of 16–30%. Maximum width is 152 cm.
OEM & custom manufacturing
Where solar film sells.
Solar control window film is a seasonal, problem-solving purchase: the buyer is hot, dazzled, or watching a floor fade. FancyFix builds the format around how you sell it.
Retail shelves (primary).
Merchandised for big-box and specialty retail — hardware and building-materials stores, home-decor stores, and dollar stores — where solar window film moves hardest in the weeks before summer. Product FancyFix manufactures reaches retail chains like Walmart, Home Depot, Lowe's, Kmart, and Nitori — under our partners' brands, not ours. A pack printing the heat, glare, and ultraviolet figures for that exact shade outsells a pack printing a sunburst.
Online marketplaces (primary).
Sized and packed to win on Amazon, Wayfair, Temu, TikTok, and eBay, where a solar film listing lives or dies on whether its claim survives the first hot week. Listings need the figure for that shade rather than a range borrowed from the category, and they need to say the film needs clean, flat glass. FancyFix supplies the shade-level numbers with the pack so the listing copy has something defensible behind it.
Distribution and project supply (secondary).
Distributors, fitters, and fit-out contractors buy solar control window film by the roll rather than in a retail pack, because an office or a shopfront is measured in square metres rather than in panes. FancyFix ships the same shade as retail small rolls and as large rolls for project supply, in widths up to 152 cm and with no maximum length. One shade specification serving a shelf and a trade counter keeps a distributor from carrying two ranges.
FancyFix gives you three routes into a solar control range.
A solar range is decided by two things a supplier controls: which shades it can offer, and whether it will change a specification for you. The three routes below differ by how much of the film ends up being yours — all three run on the same solar base films, adhesive and static cling.
From our stock shades.
Take an existing FancyFix solar shade and put it under your brand and packaging. Nine stock shades across the adhesive and static cling builds are already running with measured figures behind each one, which makes the stock route the fastest way onto a shelf and the only one that needs no development time.
Change the specification.
Width, length, thickness band, liner, and pack size can each be produced differently from stock on a custom order, and the same shade family can be quoted as an adhesive build or a static cling build. Most FancyFix stock lines already sit inside the published specification bands, so a custom order usually changes one parameter rather than the whole film.
Exclusive to you.
A design developed for you can be held exclusive: FancyFix commits in writing that a customer's own pattern is never used for our own retail and never sold to a third party. Where a solar range is combined with a printed or decorative film, that written commitment is what makes a brand willing to build a line around it.
All three routes run across the adhesive, static cling, mirrored, and photochromic solar lines.
FancyFix solar control film, by specification.
Adhesive solar control film is PET with a PET release liner. Static cling solar control film is PVC with a PET release liner. Mirror film is PVC and carries a protective PET layer on the mirror face as well as the release liner on the back. Photochromic film is PET.
Two builds. Adhesive film bonds to clean, smooth glass and stays put. Static cling film holds by surface contact with no adhesive layer, and can be lifted, re-set during application, and taken down later without residue. Brown-silver and double-sided-silver shades run in both builds; the lighter blue shades run adhesive only, and the blue-silver and black-grey silver shades run as static cling only.
Adhesive solar — 0.10 mm with liner, 0.07 mm without (0.025 mm liner).
Static cling solar — 0.20 mm with liner, 0.16 mm without (0.04 mm liner).
Mirror — 0.26 mm with liner, 0.18 mm without (0.09 mm liner).
Photochromic — 0.12 mm with liner, 0.10 mm without (0.04 mm liner).
Adhesive solar — solar heat rejection 44% / 56% / 59% / 85% / 85% across the five shades; glare reduction 13% to 36%; ultraviolet blocking 99% on every shade.
Static cling solar — solar heat rejection 79% to 82%; glare reduction 13% to 22%; visible light reflectance 16.67% to 49.96%; solar direct transmittance 12.74% to 23.16%; ultraviolet blocking 72.42% to 90.27%.
Mirror — solar heat rejection 100%; ultraviolet blocking 100%.
Photochromic — solar heat rejection 16% to 30%; glare reduction 85%; ultraviolet blocking 97%.
Maximum width 152 cm on every solar line. Regular shipping widths 45 / 60 / 90 / 120 cm. No maximum length; stock lengths 150 / 200 / 300 cm.
Solar film ships as small rolls for retail sale and as large rolls for project supply, both available with private-label packaging. Most FancyFix stock lines fall within the specifications above. Individual parameters — width, length, thickness band, liner, pack size — can be produced to a customer's requirement instead, and the same shade family can be built as adhesive or as static cling.
Solar control window film — questions buyers ask before an RFQ.
Choose by whichever complaint the customer actually has, because solar heat rejection and glare reduction do not rise together. Across the five FancyFix adhesive shades, the brown-silver film rejects 85% of solar heat but cuts glare by 13%, while the gray-blue film rejects 56% of heat and cuts glare by 36%. A range aimed at hot west-facing rooms and a range aimed at screen glare are therefore two different shade selections, not one darker film.
No — ultraviolet blocking differs by build, and the gap is wide. Every shade of FancyFix adhesive solar control window film blocks 99% of ultraviolet light. The static cling solar shades block between 72.42% and 90.27%, measured shade by shade. A pack or listing carrying a 99% ultraviolet claim over a static cling film states something the film does not support, so FancyFix gives the figure per build rather than one number for the category.
Visible light reflectance runs from 16.67% to 49.96% across the four FancyFix static cling solar shades. Reflectance is the number deciding how the window looks rather than how cool the room is: a film reflecting half the visible light reads as a mirror from the bright side, while a film reflecting a sixth reads as a tint. Solar direct transmittance over the same four shades runs from 12.74% to 23.16%.
Colour fastness to light is graded 4 on three of the four FancyFix static cling solar shades and grade 2 on the fourth. The three graded 4 are double-sided silver, brown silver, and black-grey silver; the blue-silver shade is the grade 2. Grade 2 means the blue-silver film shifts sooner under strong light, so a range going into a hot, high-sun market is better built on the grade 4 shades. FancyFix publishes the grade shade by shade rather than one claim for the line.
Photochromic window film darkens as sunlight strengthens and lightens again as the light drops, while a fixed solar tint holds the same shade all day. FancyFix photochromic film is an adhesive PET build 0.12 mm thick with its liner and 0.10 mm without, cutting glare by 85% and blocking 97% of ultraviolet light, with solar heat rejection of 16% to 30%. Photochromic film therefore sells on glare and ultraviolet rather than on heat.
No — FancyFix solar control window film is made for flat architectural glass, not for vehicle glazing. Windows, doors, partitions, and shopfronts are what the line is cut for, in shipping widths of 45, 60, 90, and 120 cm and to a maximum width of 152 cm. Vehicle glazing is curved and heat-formed and needs a film that shrinks to the curve, which is a separate product line FancyFix does not make.
