Solar control film

Does your staff overheat in the summer? Are your air conditioning bills too high?

  • Solar overheating can cause severe discomfort to building occupants
  • Uncomfortably hot work environments can make work difficult, strain working relationships and reduce productivity
  • High temperatures are more likely to cause accidents because heat lowers staff concentration levels

Llumar® performance solar control film is a cost-effective solution. In summer, about 20% of the cooling energy load in commercial properties is a result of attempts to combat solar overheating through glass, but the reduction in energy costs resulting from the correct application of Llumar® solar control film can typically pay for the film in less than two years.

Temperature reductions when using Llumar® performance solar control film can be as much as 8°C.

Llumar® films block out over 99% of UV radiation, one of the major causes of fading, and provide effective electromagnetic radiation shielding.

Llumar® films cause minimal disruption but maintain visible daylight levels.

Regulation 7 of the Workplace (Health Safety and Welfare) Regulations 1992 - what you need to know
