SOLVE IT WITH SILVER

Sep 02 2022

High Reflective Silver window film from The Window Film Company is a high-performance window film that delivers a number of benefits, while also delivering a stylish aesthetic appearance.

The window film works to reduce excess heat by reflecting away a percentage of the sun’s solar energy before it can pass through the glass and add to the internal temperature, and it’s this functionality that makes the film more effective than blinds or curtains – both of which allow heat through the glass and inside while also blocking the view.

The film takes on a reflective, silver appearance during daylight hours which gives glass a stylish and contemporary external look. While the mirrored effect serves to reject excess heat, it does so without sacrificing high levels of natural light or blocking the view from the inside out; if it is lighter outside than it is on the outside then the film will be reflective on the outside while enabling a view from the inside to the exterior.

In addition to providing relief from excess heat, (High Reflective Silver can block up to 78% of solar energy) this window film will also reduce glare. Glare can be a year-round issue, especially for premises with a large number or sizeable panes of glass or windows. The ever-changing position of the sun in relation to windows can result in sunlight making it difficult to comfortable focus on work, colleagues, paperwork or screens. By filtering out the harshest of the sunlight, which can be an issue even during the winter, High Reflective Silver window film from The Window Film Company will help deliver a more comfortable internal environment by reducing glare as soon as it is installed.

A third, and not inconsiderable, benefit is that this window film filters out up to 99% of the sun’s potentially harmful UV rays. This is significant as UV rays are the biggest single contributing factor to fading, so by blocking such a high percentage of them, an application of this solar control window film will help slow down the fading process, in turn protecting upholstery, machinery and furniture from fade damage.

These benefits lead to High reflective Silver being chosen as the most suitable window film solution for a large food storage and distribution facility in Berkshire. The internal layout of the premises mean that accessing the windows from the inside wasn’t possible, resulting in the use of a specialist external grade version of High Reflective Silver window film.

The film was applied to over 180 square metres of glass by a team of The Window Film Company’s fitting teams, with the film effective immediately, delivering reduced heat and glare and protection from UV rays, all without excess levels of natural light and while maintaining the view from the inside out.
