SILVER IS THE GOLD STANDARD FOR HEAT AND GLARE REDUCTION

The Window Film Company are industry leaders in the supply and installation of high-performance window film. By offering the best quality films, installed by fully qualified and vastly experienced fitting technicians, film from The Window Film Company delivers immediate benefits including solar control, glare reduction and UV protection.

All of these benefits were utilised by a large premises in Milton Keynes, who engaged The Window Film Company to deliver a solution for excess heat and glare at their large facility.

The benefits of large windows and glazing are well known; they allow for a view in and out, they are aa source of natural light and are also aesthetically pleasing. They can have drawbacks, however. For example, untreated glass allows for the unrestricted build up of heat, solar energy simply passes through the glazing adding to the internal temperature. This can result in reliance on expensive solutions such as air conditioning, or unwelcome (and ineffective) methods such as drawing blinds or curtains.

Glare can also be a serious, year-round issue for premises with large expanses of glass, with sunlight shining through standard glass, often making it difficult to comfortably focus. The ever-changing position of the sun means the angle of the sunlight streams through glass at different angles, creating a potentially difficult and uncomfortable internal environment. Both of these were issues for the client, and a solution was sought.

It was agreed that the best film to tackle these problems would be High Reflective Silver.

High Reflective Silver from The Window Film Company is a high performance product that delivers immediately effective solar control by reflecting away a percentage of the sun’s solar energy before it can pass through the glass and ad to the internal temperature. This is achieved by the silver, mirrored appearance the film has during daylight hours (also delivering a stylish look and, should it be required, daytime one-way privacy).

The film also reduces glare by up to 79%, with both of these benefits delivered without sacrificing high levels of natural light or blocking the view from the inside out during daylight hours. High Reflective Silver window film also blocks 99% of the sun’s UV rays. As the single biggest contributing factor to fading, this film is a good way of helping to fight against the effects of fade damage.

The film was applied throughout the premises by a team of The Window Film Company’s expert installers, with the end result being an aesthetically pleasing and highly effective solution to heat and glare.
