Im happy to recommend Dave Faulconbridge and his team at WF Glazing Protection Ltd. They installed window film into two of our offices where glare and heat were a particular problem because of the size of the windows. They carried out the work efficiently, quickly and with the minimum of disruption and were pleasant and professional to deal with. Although the Summer months have not been particularly "Summery" we've certainly noticed a positive reduction in glare, making working on the computer screens much easier and the temperatures have not reached the soaring heights they did previously!

“We have high level windows in the I.T classrooms. This was causing glare and reflection on the computer screens making their use uncomfortable for our students. As a result, plain paper was being taped on to the windows by teachers as a temporary solution, which made them unsightly. We didn’t feel that blinds were a solution because of the controls needed to open and close them at high level and cleaning would have been difficult as well.

We chose Titan05 dual reflective window film from WF Glazing Protection that reduces 87% of the sun’s glare. They were very knowledgeable in helping us to specify the correct film for our particular glazing and their prices were very competitive. The installation ran smoothly with no disruptions and was carried out to a high professional standard.

The film has been very effective in making the display screens easier to read and has achieved exactly what was required. In addition, it has also helped to reduce the heat from the sun during the summer months. We have since had more of the film installed in other areas of the school for solar control and student privacy.”

The king size room has a garden view and we wanted as much light as possible. However, we forgot to take into account that as a south facing room with views over the flower meadow and adjacent farm land, the glare and solar heat gain meant that we had to have the blinds almost permanently down. During March it was 5 degreesC outside but with the sunlight hitting the windows the temperature within the room was 28 degreesC. We had to find an effective solution before the weather warmed up. Brian Wong suggested the 3M Prestige 70 Sun control window film would meet our requirements. His team finished the job in under four hours, despite the tricky shapes of the upper windows. The film has made no discernible difference to the light entering the room and is not detectible to the eye but has meant that the blinds can be up during the day and our guests can enjoy the view. A good and inexpensive solution in my opinion.

The premises in Eastwood, Nottingham was undergoing a full refurbishment and needed a new window graphic for two reasons; the first to promote the company's brand name, and the second to provide privacy for the office staff. The owners chose a frosted, decoratve film to create the distinctive etch- effect design. 3M Night Vision Solar Control Window Film was also installed at the rear of the premises to provide an element of privacy with additional heat and glare reduction. This would improve occupant comfort and reduce air conditioning costs. The film is less reflective than mirror window film so allows for a more natural appearance. "We chose WF Glazing Protection Ltd to provide us with our new window graphics & window films to update our look & to improve our working conditions. From start to finish, we found Dave & Brian to be friendly, helpful & efficient. They proved to be competitive with the packages they had to offer & flexible with their time. We are very pleased with the finished product, the professional service they provided and we would happily use them again or recommend them.

"During a recent internal survey, it was highlighted that most of the glazing in and around both hospital sites at John Radcliffe and Churchill, needed to be upgraded in accordance with The Workplace (Health Safety and Welfare) Regulations 1992 – Regulation 14.

Since replacing the windows was out of the question due to budget constraints, the alternative was to apply a Safety Window Film. We contacted Brian Wong of WF Glazing Protection Ltd to discuss the requirements and the logistics of the project.

Not only were they competitive, we found them to be efficient and accommodating. The hospital is not the easiest place to work in, at the best of times, but they were courteous and professional to both members of staff and patients in the wards.

I was kept up-to-date with the progress of the project by Brian on a regular basis and this gave me the confidence to leave them to it so that I could focus my attention elsewhere.

We are very pleased with WF Glazing Protection Ltd and the professional service they provided. The project was completed on time and within budget. We would happily use them again or recommend them"

“My mother and I own a handbag and accessories shop in Towcester. We opened the shop on the 18th of November 2006, and at this time the weather conditions as expected were wintry. As we moved into the New Year and the weather improved we realised that our shop front window display would suffer from sunlight damage and that the shop itself was becoming very hot, even when it wasn’t that warm outside.

On occasions, if for example a customer asked to try a necklace on that was in the window, we found that the jewellery would be very hot which I felt put people off purchasing it. To prevent the items from fading we would have to change the display quite regularly but it was quite difficult as it was a very hot place to stand for long periods of time.

We originally decided to look into having an awning put onto the front of the shop to shade the window but it was not suitable as the building is listed and we had to get listed building permission which could take anything up to 8 weeks, by which time our stock could be sun damaged what with the good weather we have been having. Also the awning was a very expensive method as we were quoted over £2,000 which as a new business is a rather large outlay.

We then decided to look into other methods of protecting the window, and Mr Brian Wong from WF Glazing Protection Ltd couldn’t have found us at a better time. He explained to me in detail the benefits of 3M Window Films and we discussed the options regarding the film’s tint to the heat benefits and the installation. He was very thorough and gave us a quote there and then. As we were impressed with both the benefits and the price of the film, we decided to go ahead with it.

The installation was a lot quicker than I thought it would be and Mr Wong was very efficient. He also returned a couple of days later to check that there were no problems and that we were still happy with the outcome. One of my original concerns with the film was that it had a slight blue tint to it, which worried me as I thought it might discolour the products, but I was very happy to find that our items looked just as good as they did before. The items are now a lot cooler when I take them out of the window, and I don’t have to change the window quite as regularly. The shop is also a nicer place to be because it is not as hot any more. All in all, we are very happy with the outcome.”

Your staff are polite and efficient, arriving on site at the specified times and completing the work in a satisfactory timescale. I honestly cannot think of one thing you could improve as you have always provided a high level of service when we have needed you.

Excellent service “ it is a pleasure to work with Brian who always responds immediately and gets an excellent job done in good time.

Hi Dave/Brian, Hope you are both well as you embark on a prosperous business year. We have 3 more windows that need covering with the 3M Frosted Crystal privacy film. I will be leaving Highbury for a new post in Oxford, my last day will be the 21st January 2011. I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for your assistance and high quality work over the years.

We would highly recommend them.

The work we had done 4 years ago still looks as good now as it did then.

The fitters were extremely friendly and the work was done in great time.

An excellent job and everyone still comments how nice it is.

Using WF Glazing Protection earlier this year has made a significant improvement to reducing heat levels within our office and also helped to reduce substantially the glare on computer screens. I am very satisfied with the benefits and found the company to be very professional throughout. They were prompt, efficient and during installation kept disruption to an absolute minimum and worked in a very tidy manner. I am very pleased to recommend their services from our experience.

The B Block at Loughborough College required an up to date sun control solution. The existing film had been on for many years and was no longer effective. The blinds were also getting ready for replacement.

Our Dark Dual Reflective window film was chosen to provide over 90% glare reduction in the classrooms and offices to create far more comfortable, productive learning environments for pupils and staff alike.

At the same time the external mirror finish of the film gave a dramatic, modern aesthetic to the building.

From start to finish FANTASTIC SERVICE… they really know their window films. Our problem of heat in the offices has gone away. Money well spent. I think we will save ££££ on our air conditioning bill!!! Well done team.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for the excellent work carried out on Stanley Adams Hair Designs. Your attention to detail with the window art work and frosting and the time in which the works were carried out, far exceeded my expectations and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend you to others.

In our main library, we have some high level glazing all of the way around. This was causing glare and reflection on the computer screens making their use uncomfortable for our students. We didn't feel that blinds were a solution becuase of the controls needed to open and close them at high level and cleaning would have been difficult as well. We chose a reflective window film from WF Glazing Protection that reduces 78% of the sun's glare. Mr Brian Wong was very helpful and knowledgable in helping us to specify the correct film for our particular glazing and his prices were very competitive.

In addition, it has also helped to reduce the heat from the sun during the summer months. We have since had had more of the film installed in other areas of the school.

Dave had the complexity of scheduling our job around the weather forecasts and also his other customers. The day before installation, the access equipment arrived in readiness for the installation team who turned up at the agreed time

Overall our experience with WF Glazing left us completely satisfied with their service, the product has solved our problem and has given us no issues throughout the winter months.

I would just like to say that your installation team has spent the day with us and have done an excellent job stripping off old film and installing the new. They were both very amenable to working in the different rooms and around the people who were in the building. Your service has been first class and everything we hoped for. Thank you.

It may be more associated with glistening skyscrapers and boy-racers than brides-to-be, but a Buckinghamshire bridal shop owner has taken the unusual step of having her store windows tinted to keep her customers cool and protect displays from sun damage.

Alice Harris, 31, set up Newport Pagnell-based Vanilla Bridal in a beautiful Grade II-listed Tudor building in the town’s High Street.

But the heat in the store soon meant that the blushing brides were left red faced for the wrong reasons, as they tried on outfits in preparation for their big days.

So Alice, of Aspley Guise, who trained at art school and worked in theatre and television before moving into retail, called on Nottingham-based WF Glazing Protection for help.

The company, which is dedicated to re-branding the window tinting industry away from traditional markets, visited the shop and applied a cutting-edge clear film to the window – to lower temperatures, protect against sun damage and retain the store’s historic charm.

Alice said: “The shop was very hot in the summer, so it was uncomfortable for our customers when they were trying on gowns and the window displays were getting a lot of sun damage on them as well.

“Something had to be done but air conditioning was out of the question as the shop is housed in a Grade II-listed building – and air conditioning is not environmentally friendly and we try to be as green as possible.

“Now we’re much happier – the change in temperature in the store is really noticeable. We’ve actually had the heating on for longer as the store is so cool, but that’s better than putting customers off in the busy summer period because of the heat.”

The installation is excellent and has certainly resolved our glare problem

"Some of our meeting rooms and internal office partitions needed partial privacy and manifestation to match the existing design from the original build.

After discussing our requirements with WF Glazing Protection Ltd, they were able to implement the existing design and provide us with a match for our new window graphics. The film provides the same effect as acid-etch glass, and gives exactly the privacy we needed whilst maximizing light levels and aiding Health & Safety compliance for our risk critical glazing.

From start to finish, we found them to be friendly, helpful & efficient. They proved to be competitive with the packages they had to offer & flexible with their time.
We are very pleased with the finished product & the professional service they provided and we would happily use them again or recommend them.

In-fact, we have had them back since to apply more film on the front of the office and to resolve issues with glare in the meeting rooms."

The Head Office of the National House Building Council in Milton Keynes had a problem with glare via some high level windows. These were easily and safely accessible from a flat roof area so an external application was carried out. SolarGard Sentinel Plus Stainless Steel 25 OSW was chosen for its neutral internal appearance and grey reflective external appearance to compliment the powder coated frames. With 73% glare reduction and a 7 year warranty the problem was solved. "From sales to survey to install, your company are at the top of your class. Thank you. Keep up the great work.
