The Catmose Swimming Pool in Oakham had an issue with distracting glare from the sun and solar heat gain creating a very uncomfortable environment for both users and staff alike. On behalf of Rutland County Council, 261sqm of Titan Dual15 solar control window film was installed to the perimeter double glazed units reducing glare by 85% and solar energy by 70%. Titan15 is a dual reflective window film with a 12 year warranty against bubbling and peeling. It's internal reflectivity is over half that of the external face providing good visibility when compared to standard reflective film. The project was successfully co-ordinated with the County Council during a planned week of closure for maintenance and was installed on time and within budget.

The brand new, award winning premises in the heart of Nottingham required a privacy solution to the windows of the tenants' swimming pool. The architects at Lace Market Properties stipulated that the effect must be graduated to keep the perception of clarity from inside of the pool. Working together to meet their requirements WF Glazing Protection specified and sourced Fasara Illumina Decorative Window Film from 3M Japan. 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.

The main facade of the new Students Union building at the University of Lincoln faces south. As such, during summer months, the building would suffer from overheating. This was making the working environment very uncomfortable for staff and the existing blinds were not helping.Air-conditioning was not an option due to increased energy consumption so the Estates Department turned to WF Glazing Protection for help.Working together with the University, we were given the task of reducing solar build-up whilst maintaining the external aesthetics originally designed by their architects.After initial trials, 3M Night Vision 25 was specified for the 300sqm installation. This specialist solar control film offers very low reflectance when compared to standard films but still provides excellent performance with 66% solar energy rejection.The project was completed direct with the University within their timescale of the summer student break.

The hospital had recently purchased adjoining land that was an old school site and decided to utilise the school building for their expanding training and office requirements. The property was of the traditional 1970's construction with single glazed metal windows and a large south facing facade. Secondary glazing had been installed along with blinds. However, during summer months, the glare and solar gain were unbearable causing employee's severe discomfort. Simply installing air conditioning was not the answer and a method for controlling the glare and solar gain was sought. Some areas already had a solar control window film but it was very degraded and needed replacing. "We chose to use WF Glazing Protection Ltd to do this as we felt that their service, knowledge, specification and price offered the best value for money. The work was completed on time, within budget and our staff are extremely pleased with the results. The offices are much cooler and more comfortable and we are hoping to see energy cost savings with the reduction in our requirement for temporary air-conditioning."

Our client was concerned that their new clear glass reception counter was susceptible to scratches. At the same time they wanted to utilise the space for a window graphic. To provide a solution we installed an optically clear polyester anti-graffiti window film to the top of the counter. This was digitally printed with their logo to improve brand recognition in their reception area and create this distinctive coloured glass effect. Another optically clear scratch resistant film layer was then applied over the top to protect the printed graphic.

3M Safety Window Film helps to provide protection against the injuries usually suffered by broken glass fragments. Strong adhesive secures the glass together, significantly reducing the likelihood of severe injuries. 3M Safety S70 was the film chosen for the UK's newest Velodrome, installed by 3M approved dealer WF Glazing Protection Ltd. Director Brian Wong carried out the installation at the new world class venue. 3M Safety S70 is designed to withstand blasts and explosions, with the product going through rigorous testing by independent parties. We installed to approximately 131sqm of internal glazing at the venue.
