Warehouse and Industrial Window Film Across the North West
Industrial and logistics sites run on a cabin, a gatehouse and a line of offices. Their windows look out onto a yard, a gate or a loading bay, and they have the same problems as any other building: glare on screens, heat in a glass box and no privacy.
We fit film in site offices, gatehouses, mezzanines and rooflights across the North West, and we are used to working on live sites. We bring warehouse and industrial window film to Manchester, Salford and the rest of Greater Manchester, Chester and Cheshire, Liverpool and Merseyside, Preston, Lancaster and Lancashire, and Carlisle and Cumbria.
Offices that look out onto the yard
Our Haydock job is a typical example. A single-storey office on a recycling site had grey-framed windows with top openers all round the building, a half-glazed exit door and meeting rooms, a staff room and an open-plan office all looking out onto a working yard.
We filmed every window with one-way film. From the yard the building reads as a continuous run of mirror windows, and from inside, the view out is clear.

Gatehouses and security cabins
A gatehouse is made of windows by design, because the person inside has to see the road, the barrier and the yard. That makes it a greenhouse in the sun and a goldfish bowl to the people coming in. Our Birchwood job filmed the sliding windows on three sides and the glazed door.
Sliding windows have to keep sliding, so we film the glass and trim clear of the runners and seals.
For 24-hour cabins: Reflective film turns the glass into a mirror at night with the lights on, which is not what a night guard wants. We use a lower-reflectivity film for those.
What industrial sites ask for
Offices and cabins
Glare on screens, privacy from the yard, and heat in the summer.
Rooflights and mezzanines
Overhead glass that heats a warehouse floor or a mezzanine office.
Safety and marking
Glass in doors and screens that needs marking or safety film.
Working on a live site
Our fitters are employed by us, not subcontracted. They carry the site cards and access training, and we hold health and safety accreditation. We provide the paperwork a site manager asks for, follow your site rules and keep clear of vehicle routes and assembly points. Evenings and weekends are available if a quieter shift suits you better.

Sites across the North West
We work on industrial estates, business parks and distribution sites across Cheshire, Merseyside, Lancashire and Greater Manchester, including Haydock, Birchwood, Trafford Park and the logistics corridors around the M6 and M62.
The North West's industrial sites cluster along the motorways and rivers, and so does our work. In Greater Manchester we film site offices, gatehouses and units around Manchester, Salford and Trafford Park, and in Cheshire the logistics parks of Warrington and the chemical sites of Runcorn and Widnes, and Chester's industrial edge. In Merseyside it is the docks of Liverpool, Bootle and St Helens, in Lancashire the parks around Preston and Lancaster, and in Cumbria Carlisle's business parks and the Furness shipyard supply chain.
Industrial jobs follow your site rules: inductions, permits, vehicle routes and shift patterns. That is the same in Manchester, Liverpool and Chester as it is in Preston, Lancaster and Carlisle, and it applies across Greater Manchester, Cheshire, Merseyside, Lancashire and Cumbria. We group several units on the same estate into one visit, and plan larger Cumbrian sites over a few days. See the areas we cover across the North West.
Industrial window film questions
Can you work on a live site?
Yes. We follow your site rules and work around vehicle routes.
Can you film rooflights?
Often, yes. We check the glass or plastic type first. Warehouse rooflights are a common job.
Is reflective film suitable for a night-shift cabin?
Not usually. We use a lower-reflectivity film for those.
What accreditation do you hold?
We hold health and safety accreditation, and our fitters carry site cards and access training.
Can film go on fire exits?
Fire-rated glass is tested as a unit. We check the specification before filming any pane in a fire door.
Do you fit window film on industrial sites across the North West?
Yes. We fit window film on site offices, gatehouses and units in Greater Manchester, Cheshire, Merseyside, Lancashire and Cumbria, including around Manchester, Salford, Liverpool, Chester, Preston, Lancaster and Carlisle. We follow your inductions and permits, and use lower-reflectivity film for cabins used at night.
A site office or cabin that needs sorting?
Tell us what the building is and where it is. We will explain how we would approach it and send a price.
