I have suffered with skin cancer in the past

I now sit in a home office with a giant window at one end

I could shut the curtains but it’s nice to look out

Can anyone recommend a window tint or similar solution that I could apply internally or externally

Plan to get new windows soonish, but just today I could feel the sun on my skin which is not good


Doesn’t have a to be a neat job really

Thanks

Sorry to hear about your skin cancer - hope you are OK now?

We have used tinting and privacy films from purlfrost - www.purlfrost.com - in the past.

Hopefully, something like this may be what you are looking for?

We have used the "static cling" films because they are very easy to apply and to take off later.

Hope this helps? Good luck!

I sourced some frosted window film for the garage windows from Tintfit in the past - another option to compare prices and options.

About a month ago there was a thread on her with recommendations for window film to avoid fading of furniture, same sort of thing so probably worth hunting that out.

This is what we used on ours.

It does fit better if you remove the sealed units to fit but you do it with them in place.

90% UV block.
