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 10^oC 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
