common questions

How long does a typical window film installation take?
Most commercial projects, such as solar control or privacy film, can be completed in 1-3 days depending on the volume of glazing. Large-scale architectural refurbishments are often phased over several weeks to align with your building's operational requirements.
Is architectural film suitable for high-traffic commercial areas?
Absolutely. We specify premium architectural films from brands like 3M and Avery Dennison that are highly durable, scratch-resistant, and easy to clean. They are perfect for hotel doors, office desks, and retail surfaces that require a premium finish with long-term performance.
Do you provide nationwide installation services?
Yes, Lustalux provides nationwide coverage across the UK. We have local installation teams mobilised from hubs in London, Manchester, Coventry, Scotland, and Preston, ensuring a professional and timely delivery for every project.
What kind of warranty do you offer on commercial projects?
We offer comprehensive manufacturer-backed warranties on all our commercial installations. Typically, this includes an up to 10 year warranty on window films and architectural films against bubbling, peeling, or fading, giving you total peace of mind.
Does film damage glass or surfaces upon removal?
No. When correctly specified and professionally installed, architectural and window films can be removed cleanly without damaging the underlying substrate or glazing, making it an ideal solution for leased commercial spaces.
Is window film compliant with health and safety regulations?
Yes. Our glass manifestation and safety film installations are specifically designed to meet UK building regulations (Document K) and health and safety requirements for glazing visibility and impact protection.
Can architectural film be used in clinical or healthcare settings?
Yes. We offer specialist anti-microbial architectural films that are designed specifically for clinical environments. These films inhibit the growth of bacteria and are compatible with rigorous cleaning protocols.
How does solar control film impact energy efficiency?
Solar control film can reject up to 80% of solar heat, significantly reducing the load on your building's HVAC system. This leads to measurable energy savings and a more comfortable internal environment for occupants.
