This client in Milton Keynes was suffering from excessive solar gain and glare via the patio doors to the rear of their property. They required a window tinting solution and chose 3M Night Vision 25 solar control film. Its low internal reflectance provides a very natural appearance whilst still rejecting high levels of solar energy and glare.

3M Night Vision 25 solar control window tint film was installed to the roof of this conservatory in Rothwell, Northamptonshire in order to reduce both solar heat gain and glare whilst maintaining a natural internal appearance. The vertical windows were treated with 3M Prestige70 window film to reduce solar heat gain with a virtually clear internal and external appearance.

Solar Control, Blockout and Temporary Privacy Bowmer & Kirkland Ltd approached WF Glazing Protection Ltd to award the contract for window film application on the construction of the new TESCO Extra store in Beeston, Nottingham. 3M Prestige70 clear solar control film was applied to 153sqm of curtain wall glazing in the Retail Area to reduce solar gain, 130sqm of Hexis grey blockout vinyl was used to obscure internal partitioning walls and ceilings, 76sqm of TempScreen provided temporary privacy for continuing construction work in the Retail Units, and 111sqm of 3M External Silver15 was installed to provide glare reduction in the Main Store. All works were completed within 2 weeks of store opening, on time, within budget and using approved, safe access equipment in accordance with the main contractor's terms and conditions.

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." Jeff Bartle, Facilities Manager

Watford Football Club approached WF Glazing Protection Ltd because solar glare and heat gain were causing a problem for staff in their offices. At the same time, they were looking for a supplier of window graphics and frosted privacy film as part of a refurbishment project. With our manufacturer trained background and over 20 year combined industry experience, an external solar film application was specified. After assessing the glazing configuration and performing a film to glass compatibility analysis, it was decided that an internal application posed too high a risk of thermal fracture to the windows. 3M External Silver15 was installed using Health & Safety approved powered access equipment to provide 81% solar heat and glare rejection creating a far more comfortable and productive working environment. At the same time, we were able to provide all of their window graphic and privacy film requirements with our expertise in vinyl application. Hi Brian. The windows look fantastic. Great job “ well done! Glyn Evans, Operations Manager, Watford FC 3M is a trademark of the 3M Company
