Window Film

Glancing at much of our online window film range, it might be easy to think that here at Opalux, we only supply products for the purposes of repelling excessive heat gain, minimising glare, maximising security and/or enhancing privacy.

But that is not, of course, the case, especially given that we are also such a reputable source of glazing safety manifestation.

What do we mean by ‘manifestation’, anyway?

The task of ensuring privacy for the occupants of an internal space so often goes hand-in-hand with effective light management, which helps to explain why Opalux has such a stellar reputation as a supplier of window film with true privacy-boosting credentials.

Is your organisation seeking a quick route to compliance with not only Building Regulations, but also the Workplace Health Safety & Welfare Regulations for window manifestation or glass partition manifestation? If so, our off-the-shelf frosted manifestation dots or squares could be an invaluable investment, whether your firm is the specifier or end user.

It only requires one glance across our online product selection here at Opalux to appreciate that window film can be specified to satisfy all manner of requirements, from heat and glare control and privacy to safety and security.

Much the same can be said of our tinted window films, which don’t merely bring an aesthetic benefit – as great as such a benefit can often be – but also many practical advantages.

You’ve got plenty of options as far as grey/black tinting is concerned

The value of solar protection window film like that stocked in many different varieties here at Opalux can scarcely be doubted, particularly when a need exists to minimise excessive heat and glare. However, one common reason for specifiers and end users sometimes being deterred from purchasing traditional solar control films is their highly mirrored, reflective appearance.

While not all forms of window film work in exactly the same way, there are nonetheless certain consistent aspects governing how they function. The basic purpose of a window film is to provide an extra barrier on top of the window surface as a means of protection.

Different forms of window film cater to different needs

Window film is typically installed on the inside surface of glass, in both buildings and vehicles. However, dedicated exterior window film is available for certain special circumstances, such as if it is difficult to obtain access to the interior side of a window, or if the type of glazing does not lend itself well to window film being applied on the inside surface.

It would be easy to presume, as temperatures at your organisation’s premises remain persistently high despite the traditionally cooler time of year we are now entering, that you have little choice but to crank up the air conditioning and hope for the excessive heat to pass. However, it’s important to consider the adverse effects that this could have on your company’s energy bills – and as a consequence, its energy efficiency as well.

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

When you have responsibility for managing a public building, one of the biggest factors likely to keep you awake at night is doubtless the matter of ensuring that everyone using the building is kept safe at all times. Broken glass can be a particular hazard, which is precisely why you may take an interest in our highly rated safety window film here at Opalux.
