Screen Wraps vs Thermal Screen Wraps – Which is Right for You?

Screen Wraps vs Thermal Screen Wraps – Which is Right for You?

When it comes to protecting your vehicle’s windscreen and improving your driving experience all year round, screen wraps are an essential accessory. At UK Custom Covers, we offer a premium selection of Screen Wraps and Thermal Screen Wraps — each designed to provide excellent coverage, insulation, and style.

In this guide, we’ll explore the key differences between our standard and thermal screen wraps, compare features side-by-side, and explain how you can add heatpress eyes for a truly custom finish.

What is a Screen Wrap?

A screen wrap is a tailored fabric cover designed to fit the windscreen and side windows of your van, motorhome or vehicle. It helps to:

  • prevent frost or ice build-up on cold mornings

  • reduce sun glare and overheating during summer

  • keep your interior more private and reduce condensation

At UK Custom Covers, our wraps are crafted to be durable, weather-resistant, and easy to fit and remove.

What Makes a Thermal Screen Wrap Different?

A thermal screen wrap takes the concept further by incorporating an insulating layer. The benefits include:

  • enhanced protection in colder conditions – less ice and frost forming overnight

  • better heat control in warm conditions – helping keep the interior cooler

  • greater all-season usability if your vehicle is parked outside frequently

In short, if you face more extreme temperature swings or want maximum performance, the thermal option is the premium choice.
