Suites @ Pannells Ash – 3M Prestige70

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. Pannells Ash Barn is a luxury holiday let in Halstead Essex - www.pannellsash.co.uk
