What's the best alternative to air conditioning?
An ecological action for my well-being.
In summer, when the heat becomes stifling both indoors and outdoors, solar film remains the best alternative to air conditioning.
The latter is expensive, not really environmentally friendly, and is no longer universally accepted! Air conditioning is counterproductive. It cools a room that's too hot.
As an alternative to air conditioning, anti-heat film improves the thermal inertia of your home or building. It's better to keep the heat out! That's what heat-shielding film does, unlike air conditioning.
Anti-heat film: a simple, effective and environmentally-friendly solution.
Instead of trying to cool your rooms with air conditioning, why not opt for an eco-friendly solution that prevents the room from overheating?
You could compare it to closing the shutters to protect yourself from the heat in summer. Except that with an anti-heat film, you can protect your interior while enjoying the light and the view! No need to live in the dark. 😎
Discover our wide selection of heat-shielding films, to suit all your needs. From the darkest to the brightest transparencies; from the most effective to the most moderate; from high-quality adhesive to repositionable electrostatic, you're sure to find the right solution for your glazing.

How does heat-shielding film work?
It's thanks to their composition that Luminis Films heat protection films are so effective. They're a real alternative to air conditioning! ❄️
Primarily designed around high-quality polyester, anti-heat film is also composed of metal micro-particles. It is these that act against the sun, rejecting up to 90% of solar energy. This percentage fluctuates according to the concentration of metal microparticles in each film.
This is possible because the sun's rays are instantly reflected on these metal particles. With an anti-heat film installed outdoors, they don't have time to reach the glass, or even to pass through it!
Which windows should be fitted with heat-shielding film?
For heat-shielding film to be effective, you need to equip windows where the sun beats down in summer. These are mainly east-, south- and west-facing windows.
Finally, it is important to
equip all the windows in a room that are exposed to the sun's rays. Indeed, if you stop the rays from entering one window, but they enter through another, the efficiency won't be optimal. 🥵
