Proven benefits and film options tailored to Thohoyandou’s climate
We match film performance to each room, car or façade so results are predictable and visible.
Our services cover a compact range of high‑performance products that protect skin, fabrics and electronics. We present clear figures so you can compare results before you decide.
UV and heat performance
Up to 99% UV blocking is common with premium nano ceramic, metallic and carbon films. Heat rejection for these films typically sits between 70–80%, and residential solar reduction can reach 90%.
Vehicle packages in the area usually range from R1,500–R4,000 depending on size and film choice.
Film types explained
We cover nano ceramic, metallic, carbon, reflective, privacy, frosted and security films. Each type balances glare, VLT (visible light) and aesthetics differently, so you can match the look to the façade or interior.
| Type | UV Blocking | Heat Rejection | Glare / VLT |
| Nano ceramic | 98–99% | 75–80% | High glare control / VLT 20–70% |
| Metallic | 98–99% | 70–78% | Good glare control / VLT 15–60% |
| Carbon | 98–99% | 70–78% | Stable colour / VLT 20–70% |
Glare reduction of up to 87% supports comfortable office work and slows interior fade. Security films add impact resistance and help keep glass bonded after breakage.
Use the table to filter by performance, look and budget so each window gets the right solution for home, office or vehicle.
