Challenge

A residential conservatory with a glass roof was experiencing intense heat and glare, which significantly reduced the usability of the space. The homeowners desired a simple yet effective solution to make their conservatory comfortable throughout the year without altering its transparent character.

Solution

The Silver 20 window film was selected for its exceptional heat and glare reduction properties and has been proven to be the most cost-effective method to reduce energy bills with its insulation properties. Here's why it was the perfect fit for the conservatory:

Heat Reduction: Silver 20 window film is known for its ability to reflect a significant portion of solar energy, thus reducing heat build-up.

Glare Control: The film reduces glare, making the space comfortable even in direct sunlight.

UV Blocking: It offers protection against harmful UV rays, which can cause fading of interior furnishings.

Aesthetic Maintenance: The film’s reflective property provided a sleek and uniform look from the outside while maintaining clear views from the inside.

Professional installation was crucial, particularly given the complexity of applying film to a glass roof. The process was completed with meticulous attention to detail, ensuring a bubble-free and clear finish.

Results

The application of Silver 20 window film brought about substantial improvements:

Comfortable Temperatures: The conservatory was significantly cooler, which enhanced the enjoyment of the space.

Reduced Glare: The reduction in glare allowed for reading, relaxation, and other activities without the discomfort of excessive light.

Energy Efficiency: The cooler temperatures led to less reliance on air conditioning, resulting in lower energy bills.

Preserved Views: The film maintained the conservatory’s panoramic views while providing the necessary sun control.

Testimonial

A problem all too common, solved. The reduce heat and glare was instantly noticeable and the best was there was still plenty of visible light transmission.
