Shamil Trading was founded in Sharjah in 2003 as a specialist supplier of window film to the UAE's then-emerging automotive scene. Twenty-three years later we are the exclusive distributor for Solar Gard® — a Saint-Gobain company and the global leader in solar control, paint protection and architectural safety film.
Solar Gard® is part of the Saint-Gobain group, a 360-year-old Fortune Global 500 materials company. Every film we sell is shipped directly from Solar Gard's factories in San Diego and Belgium — never from a re-roller, never from a parallel importer.
In San Diego, California — pioneers of modern solar-control window film.
Glass-makers to Versailles, now the world's largest building-materials group.
Solar Gard products installed in over 90 markets worldwide.
Sharjah-born specialist — exclusive UAE distributor for Solar Gard since.
Three technicians, one bay, and a focus on doing window tinting properly — at a time when most UAE installers were cutting film off the roll without templates.
Switched the studio onto exclusively Solar Gard automotive films — earning factory-trained installer accreditation for the entire team.
First major commercial retrofit — a 14-storey curtain-wall office in Deira. Energy bills dropped 28%; the case study brought five more projects in 18 months.
Expanded into self-healing paint protection film, opening a dedicated PPF bay with controlled lighting and a heated cure room.
Added nano-ceramic paint coatings and a dedicated polish & interior detailing bay — rounding out full exterior and interior car care under one roof.
Recognised as the sole authorised distributor of Solar Gard for the United Arab Emirates — supplying the full automotive and architectural film range.
From a daily Corolla to a Bugatti, from a single villa to a 40-storey tower — same studio, same standard of care.
Every film comes directly from Solar Gard with holographic batch verification. We don't stock private-label, parallel-import or re-roll product — and we'll prove provenance on request.
Every technician is Solar Gard-accredited. Re-certification annually. New installers spend six months training before they're allowed on a customer car or building unsupervised.
For architectural projects we issue a written spec with VLT, TSER, U-value, SHGC, glare reduction, payback model and warranty terms — before money changes hands. No surprises.
Claims handled in-house at our Sharjah studio. No shipping rolls overseas, no waiting for international approval. If something is wrong, you bring the car back, we make it right.
We're not a franchise, not a regional office of a global chain. We live here, we work here, and we'll still be here when the warranty matters most.
