Office window wall with solar control film, desk in the foreground and the mountains beyond the glassCommercial

Office glazing

Full-height glazing in a working office, photographed after solar control film. The sun is contained and the view over the city stays open.

Meeting room seen through a frosted glass partition, the table and chairs softened to a silhouettePrivacy

Meeting room partition

Problem
A meeting room walled in clear glass, with everything inside it on show to the floor outside.
Solution
Frosted film on the partition, run to the height that covers the table and the people at it.
Result
Private from the corridor, and still lit by the window wall. The partition itself was not touched.

Meeting room

Corner glazing in a meeting room after solar control film, with the rooftops and the sky still reading clearly through the glass.

Apartment window, film fitted

Problem
Afternoon sun straight onto the glass of an occupied flat.
Solution
Solar control film applied to the existing pane: solution sprayed, film laid, worked out edge to edge.
Result
The original glazing stayed in place. Nothing was removed or replaced.
Office reception with a frosted glass meeting room beside it and the city through the window wallCommercial

Reception and meeting room

Problem
A glazed meeting room standing in the middle of the reception a visitor walks into first.
Solution
Frosted film across the lower half of the enclosure, stopped short of the ceiling.
Result
The meeting room is screened at seated height while the reception keeps the light and the view.
Private office desk beside windows with a frosted band at eye level and the skyline abovePrivacy

Private office, frosted band

Problem
A desk sitting against full-height glazing, in view of everything on the other side of it.
Solution
A frosted band set at seated eye level and carried across every pane in the elevation.
Result
Cover where you sit, sky and skyline above it. Nothing about the glazing was replaced.
Office reception and waiting chairs behind glazing with a frosted privacy band, the mountains above itPrivacy

Reception and waiting area

Problem
A waiting area behind ground-to-ceiling glass, with people sitting in full view of the building opposite.
Solution
A frosted band run continuously across the elevation at the height people actually sit.
Result
Seated visitors are covered; standing eye level still has the mountain. The glazing stayed as it was.
Film being laid onto a roof window from inside, protective plastic around the openingSolar control

Loft conversion, roof windows

Problem
Roof glazing takes the sun at its steepest angle, and there is no shading above it.
Solution
Film fitted from inside the room, with the reveals masked off first.
Result
Done without scaffolding or roof access, from inside the finished loft.
A roof window seen from below with protective plastic sheeting taped around itSolar control

Roof window, masked and ready

Problem
Cutting film above a finished room risks the plaster, the frame and the floor below.
Solution
Sheeting taped around the whole opening before anything was cut.
Result
The room was handed back clean. Preparation is most of the job.
An unfinished loft conversion with roof windows and a gable window looking out over fieldsSolar control

Loft, before the work

Problem
A loft with roof windows on more than one pitch, before any work started.
Solution
Survey first: how many panes, which way they face, and what the sun does to the room.
Result
The scope and the film were settled before a single sheet was cut.
Afternoon sun raking across a filmed roof window with a soft reflectionSolar control

Roof window, finished

Problem
Roof glazing with nothing above it to shade the room underneath.
Solution
Solar control film on the existing pane, worked out to the edge of the frame.
Result
The finished pane, photographed with the sun on it. The original glazing is still the original glazing.

Ten seconds of the actual work

Preparation, cutting, laying, edge work. Filmed on the job, not staged, so you can judge the standard of the installation for yourself.
