Porsche – Glare Reduction External Window Film

2020-05-11T17:11:12+00:00

This Porsche centre had a problem with glare from the sun in reception. Due to the glazing configuration of a laminated inner pane of the double glazed unit, an external grade window film solution was required to avoid the risk of thermal fracture. The existing windows were already black tinted glass and it was imperative that the film specification was in keeping with the corporate aesthetic. Our WFGP Dark Charcoal 05 EXT was installed from mobile access towers to solve the glare problem and match the existing glazing perfectly.

The main reception at Triumph Motorcycles Head Office in Hinckley, Leicestershire is an impressive angled atrium in black tinted double glazing fitting their iconic name following 110 years of manufacturing in Britain. During winter months though, the low level sun was causing a glare problem for the reception staff even through the already tinted glass.

Due to access issues internally combined with the laminated inner pane glazing configuration it was deemed that an external application of solar control window film was the most appropriate solution. The specification was going to be crucial as it not only had to offer the correct level of glare reduction but it was critical that the appearance complimented the existing aesthetic. Following a successful trial, TG8-XSR dark charcoal non-metallic solar control film with 87% glare reduction and a five year external warranty was chosen. The project was successfully installed from mobile access towers by PASMA certified operatives to 50sqm of glass over 27no high level panes in the mid-section of the atrium. Paul Walklate who is the Indirect Buyer for Triumph Motorcycles said....... Our receptionists were experiencing problems with the light of the sunrise during the winter months; they found wearing sun glasses improved conditions but they were conscious of their appearance when greeting visitors so requested we develop a new solution to the problem. We considered many different ways to approach this such as window blinds and sun screens but the angle of the atrium made it difficult to source a simple cost effective solution so the focus turned towards sourcing a window film. After searching the internet to identify local services, we arranged for a number [...]

A graduating film from white frost to clear that has an anti-bacterial coating to resist finger marks and a 5 year warranty against peeling. The project was completed on time with minimum disruption on behalf of main contractor Laing O'Rourke.
