Privacy Films

Do privacy films block UV rays?

Privacy films which include UV-blocking properties are available, protecting interiors from sun damage and fading. Our approach is to keep the recommendation practical: what will look right, perform properly and make sense for the budget.

How long do privacy films last?

Typically, privacy films last 5-10 years depending on quality, installation, and environmental exposure. If you have a fixed opening, event or handover date, tell us upfront. We can then work backwards from the date rather than give you a generic lead time.

Can privacy films be applied to curved or textured glass?

Application is easier on flat, smooth surfaces. Curved or textured glass may require specialist films or professional installation. In practice, the best way to confirm it is to send us a photo or the artwork so we can recommend the right construction rather than give you a blanket yes.

Clean with a soft cloth and mild soapy water; avoid abrasive materials or harsh chemicals that can damage the film. A little basic care usually makes a big difference to how professional the signage looks over its life.

Do I need professional installation for privacy films?

Our professional installation is recommended for large or complex applications to ensure smooth, bubble-free results. Its not as easy as it looks! We think about installation while we design the sign, because access, fixing surfaces and site conditions can change what the best solution actually is.

What is the cost of privacy films in Australia?

Costs vary by film type and installation area, generally ranging from $80 to $200+ per square metre including installation.

If you send us the basics, we would rather price the real job than guess.
