Keeping Your Home Cool is Easy with DIY Glare Control Window Film

Renovating your own home is a true labour of love, but sometimes, even the best renovations bring unexpected challenges. For Mollie of @postcardsfromaus, her recent laundry renovation looked amazing, but the large glass sliding door turned the room into a “hot and steamy” sauna as soon as the sun hit the glass. Realising that old houses need all the help they can get, she decided to take matters into her own hands with a practical, DIY-friendly solution: Pillar Products Glare Control Window Film.

If you’ve been hesitant to try window film, this is your sign that you can absolutely do it yourself. The installation process was straightforward and satisfying. After giving the windows and frames a deep clean, she measured the film to length and applied the application solution behind it. She then used a squeegee to smooth out the air bubbles and secure the bond. A quick trim with a sharp blade ensured a perfect custom fit, right to the edge of the frame.

The result? A professional-looking upgrade achieved entirely at home! The Glare Control film blocks up to 56% of radiant heat and 98% of UV rays, instantly cooling down the room without sacrificing the garden view. As she puts it, the finish is “subtle and cool”—turning a hot laundry into a functional, comfortable space.
