Window Film and Solar Control in Alicante
Solar Guard fits solar control, UV and privacy window film in Alicante, including sliding terrace doors, floor-to-ceiling glass and curved glass walls in sea-view apartments.
Our R Silver 20 film cuts solar heat by up to 78%, blocks up to 99% of UV and reduces glare by 82%. We have been fitting film on the Costa Blanca since 2002.
Apartments in Alicante with floor-to-ceiling glass, sliding terrace doors or a glazed terrace share one problem: the view comes with a lot of sun. Large areas of glass let in solar heat and glare, and rooms can get hot and bright.
We fit film in Alicante, including seafront and port-area apartments. Film reduces the heat that comes through the glass, so you rely less on blinds and air conditioning. It does not remove the heat completely, and we explain this before you decide.
Does window film work on sea-view apartments in Alicante?
Yes. Film cuts the solar heat that enters through large areas of glass such as sliding terrace doors, floor-to-ceiling windows and glazed terraces, without the blinds, awnings or curtains that hide the view. R Silver 20 has a mirror effect on the outside and lets natural light in, so you can still see the sea from the room.
Before we recommend a film we check the glass. Single glazing, double glazing and laminated glass do not all suit every film, and films that mainly absorb heat can stress sealed double-glazed units. We match the film to your glass. Most installations take between half a day and a full day, depending on how much glass there is.
Recent job: a sea-view apartment at Alicante port
We fitted solar window film to the terrace sliding doors and the living-room glass of this apartment at Alicante port. The terrace doors have R Silver 20 silver film, which reflects the sea view on the outside. The photos below show the terrace glass before and after, and the living room with its curved glass wall and the living and dining area.
Before: the terrace glazing before the solar window film was fitted.
After: R Silver 20 silver film on the terrace sliding doors, reflecting the sea view.
Before: the curved glass wall in the living room, with film already fitted to two of the windows.
After: the living and dining area with solar window film on the floor-to-ceiling glass and the sea view.
Our Window Tinting Services
Professional solar film solutions for heat, privacy and UV protection on the Costa Blanca
Solar & Heat Control Film
Our R Silver 20 solar control film cuts solar heat by up to 78%, blocks up to 99% of UV and reduces glare by 82%. It has a mirror effect on the outside and lets natural light in. It suits sun-facing windows, sliding doors and glazed terraces.
Privacy Film
Privacy film gives you daytime privacy while keeping light and views. It suits ground-floor apartments, properties close to a street or promenade and terraces overlooked by neighbours.
UV Protection Film
Ordinary glass lets a good deal of UVA through. UV protection film blocks up to 99% of UV and slows the fading of furniture, flooring and fabrics. It reduces fading but cannot stop it completely.

Window film in Alicante: your questions answered
Does window film work on sliding terrace doors and floor-to-ceiling glass in Alicante?
Yes. These large glass areas let in a lot of solar heat, and film reduces what enters. Our R Silver 20 film cuts solar heat by up to 78%. A treated room is cooler than an untreated one, but it will still be warm on the hottest afternoons.
Will I still see the sea?
Yes. R Silver 20 has a mirror effect from outside and lets natural light in, so you can still see out. The room will be somewhat less bright than before, and lighter films keep more daylight.
Can film be fitted to double-glazed windows?
Usually, but not every film suits every unit. Films that mainly absorb heat can stress sealed double-glazed units, so we check your glass and match the film to it.
Can I fit reflective film in an apartment block in Alicante?
Often yes, but check first. Reflective film changes how a building looks from outside, and some communities of owners have rules about facades. Ask your community administrator before you order.
How long does the installation take?
Most installations take between half a day and a full day, depending on how much glass there is.
How much does it cost?
The price depends on the film, the area of glass and access, so we quote after seeing the windows, or photos with measurements. Quotes are free and carry no obligation.
Is the film guaranteed?
The film carries a 10-year manufacturer's guarantee. Our own team carries out every installation, and if you are not satisfied we will put it right.
Which areas do you cover?
We cover Alicante, including the port area and the seafront. For other towns, see our pages for Torrevieja, Ciudad Quesada, Calpe and Denia.
