solar
heat-gain reduction film
reflects the sun’s heat away from
glazing, improving thermal comfort and helping to avoid tiredness and headaches
and improves mental alertness. Solar Control films can reject significant
amounts of the suns energy whilst maintaining good light levels.
When applied to a large expanse of
glass such as glazed curtain walling, a conservatory roof, or an architectural
feature such as a glass atrium, solar-control window films can reduce solar
heat-gain by up to 75%. This means that where the problem is particularly severe
room temperatures can be cut by as much as 10oC
while at the same time significantly reducing excessive visible light (glare)
and UV (ultra Violet Light).
with summer sun shining directly on
glazing the transmission of solar energy (heat) through the glass can be as much
as 750
W/m2
which
is the equivalent as that produced by a double panelled radiator of equal size.
Solar-control window film will cut up to 80% of the sun’s total energy
transmission whilst still maintaining good light-levels.
reduce the load on
air-conditioning plant or forced draught ventilation and helps to reduce energy
costs and carbon dioxide emissions

glare reduction film
shades
excess sunlight allowing improved visibility and helping to reduce eyestrain and
headaches. Reducing excess light in the workplace can allow better planning on
the positioning and orientation of workstations. Reduction of the problem of
reflections on VDU screens allows improved ergonomics and better use of
available space.
Glare can cause visual
acuity problems. Emerging from an overly bright area into a poorly lit area the
eye can sometimes take time to adjust. This period of adjustment can be critical
and could lead to accidents in stairways walkways etc.
glare
reduction window film shades
excess sunlight allowing improved views of VDUs helping to reduce eyestrain and
headaches. Glare can sometimes be a particular problem with morning winter sun
low in the sky shining through vertical glazing. This problem can be rectified
by the application of a suitable glare reduction film cutting glare by up to
90%.
Light levels from the
summer sun can often exceed 10,000 lumens. On average natural light level as low
as 800 lumens is sufficient to read without the use of electric lights. glare
reduction films applied to effected glazing can reduce glare and actually help
increase ambient light levels by allowing blinds to be opened
reflective solar control films can also provide
'daylight-privacy' allowing views out through the glass whilst preventing visual
intrusion during daylight hours
fade reduction film
cuts ultra violet radiation (UV) one
of the main causes of fading of fabrics, furniture, painted surfaces and natural
wood. UV light can also cause complications with certain skin types and
conditions.
Ultra
Violet Light (UV) causes approximately 33% of fading. Clear ‘UV’ Reduction Film
fitted to glass can cut UV radiation by up to 99% helping to protect fabrics,
textiles, painted and varnished surfaces, natural wood features, furniture,
fittings and most important of all your precious skin.
Other
causes of fading and surface degradation are; Infrared radiation (heat), visible
light (daylight), poor dye anchorage and secondary source UV light such as
halogen lighting. Shop window displays and areas behind or beneath panoramic
glazing where the sun shines directly on the glass are the most vulnerable.
fade reduction film fights surface degradation in
museums, art galleries, stately homes, retail outlets, hotels and high quality
office accommodation
