Sterling 40 Privacy Film — Neutral Appearance, Powerful Performance

One of our more interesting jobs installing a privacy film on a fabulous property in Salcombe, Devon. The bedroom window facing a shared car parking area with a neighbours access required some privacy film without losing too much light. Initially we put a couple of strips of different film on the windows and via a FaceTime call the customer made a decision on which film to have.

Solargard Sterling 40 is a medium‑reflective solar control film designed for homes and offices that need added daytime privacy without sacrificing daylight or an unobtrusive external appearance. Its subtle mirrored finish provides screening while keeping interior light levels comfortable and colours natural.

Key benefits

• Daytime privacy — medium external screening that conceals interiors from view.
• Balanced daylight — 38% visible light transmission preserves natural light and a neutral outlook.
• Solar control — 57% total solar energy rejected reduces heat gain and improves comfort.
• Glare reduction — 53% glare reduction for better visual comfort and reduced eye strain.
• UV protection — 99% UV block to slow fading of fabrics, furnishings, and artwork.
• Subtle aesthetic — low reflectance so the finish doesn’t look overly mirrored.

Typical applications

• Residential windows where privacy and daylight are both required.
• Home offices and garden rooms to reduce glare and protect furnishings.
• Commercial offices and meeting rooms for discreet screening and improved comfort.
• Retail and hospitality where a neutral external appearance is preferred.
