Challenge
Our client with a beautifully designed conservatory faced a common issue: excessive solar heat gain. The conservatory, with its large glass panels both on the side and roof, was subject to high temperatures, especially during the summer months, which made the space unbearable for use. The homeowner wanted to reduce the heat without altering the conservatory’s aesthetic, as it was important to maintain the clear, unobstructed view of the surrounding garden.
Solution
The solution came in the form of a state-of-the-art clear ceramic heat reduction film. This film is virtually invisible, maintaining the original look of the glass, yet boasts a solar heat reduction of 55%. Its high-tech ceramic material provides the following advantages:
Heat Reduction: The film significantly reduces solar heat gain, which helps to keep the conservatory cool.
UV Blocking: It blocks harmful UV rays, protecting the skin of the occupants as well as the interior furnishings from fading.
Aesthetics Preservation: The film’s clarity ensures that the visual design of the conservatory remains unchanged.
The installation process was meticulous, with careful attention to maintaining the integrity of the conservatory’s glass panels.
Results
The results were outstanding and immediate:
Temperature Control: The conservatory remained noticeably cooler, even on the hottest days, improving comfort levels.
Energy Efficiency: The reduction in heat gain meant that the homeowner used less energy for cooling, leading to lower utility bills.
Aesthetic Integrity: The clear film maintained the original aesthetic of the conservatory, preserving the panoramic view of the garden.
