Solar glare and UV radiation are persistent problems in many properties that can only be cost-effectively solved with the installation of window film that has been designed specifically to control such issues. However, as a specifier or end-user, you may not desire a high level of external reflection, as occurs when traditional mirrored films are fitted.
You may therefore instead look to tinted window films for your building’s solar heat and glare control requirements. Sure enough, it isn’t just an understated appearance that such films can offer, especially when they are sourced from Stockfilms.
An impressive range of shades – and so much more
We can presently give you no fewer than four different internally applied, Opalux-branded tinted window films from which to select – namely Slate 05, Slate 20, Slate 35 and Slate 50. All of these 35-micron polyester films provide a low mirror appearance from the outside, while within the building, they give the benefit of varying degrees of privacy during the day.
It may be the case that you do not require high light transmission into a particular space, in which case, Slate 05 may be the best-suited solution. In fact, only 7% of visible light is transmitted through this film, which also offers an exceptional 92% solar glare reduction and is instrumental in alleviating the discomfort caused by excessive solar heat gain.
Similar sentiments can be extended to the Slate 20 film that provides 77% reduction in glare and – in common with most Opalux films – up to 99% ultraviolet (UV) light filtering. Slate 35, meanwhile, gives a noticeable tint to the glass and is generally chosen for aesthetic reasons, but still has strong solar heat and glare control credentials.
If, however, it is only a very light tint that you require for given premises’ glazing, it is Slate 50 that could be the perfect match. But it is, again, far from merely beneficial from a cosmetic standpoint, thanks to its ability to screen harmful UV rays and slow down the fading of interior furnishings.
