You may initially browse our selection of solar control films here at Opalux with an interest in purchasing the product that will best reduce the amount of heat that builds up in your buildings or those to which you are looking to fit such window film.
However, such films can also bring many other less-often-publicised advantages, such as the below.
Maximum control over glazing appearance
If you are interested in buying this type of window film for a practical purpose, you may be concerned about it having an undesirable effect on the way the given building’s glazing looks.
Thankfully, we can supply solar control films here at Opalux that also offer just the right appearance for the given application – whether you would prefer a reflective uniform appearance, a muted grey or bronze aesthetic, or no discernible cosmetic difference at all.
Applicability to plastic, not just glass
Users of buildings or conservatories that use polycarbonate instead of glass for their windows or skylights can suffer from many of the same problems that lead Opalux customers to order from our range of conventional solar control window film – in short, excessive heat gain and glare.
It is therefore fortunate that we are also able to provide solar reflective films that have been manufactured with a specific adhesive, meaning they can be fitted to plastic without bubbling up.
Greater privacy
Not only does glazing through which external observers can easily see potentially serve to make a bad impression – for example, if your offices are often cluttered – but it could also have security implications if there are many expensive items inside that could tempt a prospective thief.
This is why the utmost daytime privacy may be a benefit that you would like your chosen solar control window film to achieve. An acclaimed internally applied Opalux film such as Reflective – Silver 20 (SO-20RS-iSR) could be perfect for ensuring this.
Less expenditure on cooling
If the rooms of your buildings reject excessive heat gain as a result of Opalux solar control window film having been installed, this also has the advantage of lowering your cooling costs.
Not having to depend so much on the air conditioning equipment at your premises also helps to reduce Climate Change Levy liability, thereby further lessening any unnecessary spending by your organisation.
Keeping the building’s occupants safe
As recent headlines have sadly given us cause to reflect on, severe heat gains are not only responsible for discomfort – they can also imperil a person’s health and safety.
You may therefore request the installation of solar control window film as a means of better ensuring your firm’s compliance with the Workplace (Health, Safety and Welfare) Regulations. This will also give you the peace of mind of knowing that your building’s users are as well-protected as possible.
