Challenge
Our client’s prime concern was preserving the breathtaking views from their property in Bristol, which featured expansive windows to showcase the surrounding scenery. While they wanted to mitigate the issues caused by intense sunlight, such as high energy bills, fading interiors, and glare, it was crucial that the solution did not compromise their ability to enjoy the outdoor views. Maintaining a clear and unobstructed view from the inside was a non-negotiable aspect of this project.
Solution
Understanding our client’s unique requirements, the chosen solution was the Sputtered Neutral 35 window film. This film’s exceptional clarity and neutral colour ensured that the residents could enjoy their stunning views without any distortion or significant tinting effect that could detract from the outdoor landscape. The key properties of the film included:
High Optical Clarity: Ensuring unobstructed views, even after application.
Heat and UV Rejection: Reducing thermal gain and protecting against UV rays while maintaining transparency.
Low Reflectivity: The film’s sputtered technology provided a clear view from the inside, day or night.
Glare Reduction: Moderating the amount of light to minimise glare without darkening the room.
The installation process was carried out with precision, ensuring that the film’s application was seamless and that the edges were virtually invisible to not detract from the windows’ aesthetics.
Results
Post-installation, the Sputtered Neutral 35 window film delivered on all counts:
Uncompromised Views: The residents continued to enjoy the panoramic vistas with the same vibrancy and detail as before.
Energy Efficiency: There was a significant reduction in energy consumption due to less reliance on cooling systems.
Interior Preservation: The film’s UV blocking capability helped in preserving the color and integrity of the interior décor.
Enhanced Comfort: The living spaces benefited from reduced glare, making everyday activities more enjoyable.
Discreet Privacy: The film provided subtle privacy during the day without the typical mirror effect associated with conventional films.
The homeowner was especially pleased that the film’s neutral appearance and high clarity allowed them to enjoy their views without compromise, calling it an “invisible shield” that enhanced their comfort without any trade-offs.
