Window film has been used for many years in the commercial world to provide a more comfortable working environment, to save energy and to improve safety and security.

At UV Shield we have a range of films that provide an inexpensive answer to many of the problems and issues faced by business owners.

Whilst standard window films are not considered ‘safety & security products’, window film provides excellent protection in circumstances that may cause your glazing to splinter or shatter. From the extremes of a gas explosion through to vandalism and accidental damage such as debris picked up by high winds, once bonded to the glass window film can help make that glass more shatter-resistant by holding broken splinters and shards together thus helping to prevent injury to those both inside and outside the building.

For premises in vandal/burglary prone areas, our standard Security Film can delay and deter opportunistic thieves by increasing the impact resistance of your windows – because the window film helps to hold the glass in place, criminals don’t have the quick access they need to your merchandise.

Where you have glazed doors or partitions visibility can be a problem, injury can occur through walking into the glazed area – this problem is simply addressed with our Opaque Visibility Discs.

Significant savings on your energy bills can be made by installing window films – whether your issue is high bills generated by air conditioning needed to counteract excessive solar heat in summer or how to cut heating bills in the winter months.

It is a known fact that within a building, glazing represents the greatest loss of heat from inside to outside, in winter you can lose up to 30% of your heat through glazing, UV Shield Eco Insulating Window Film will reflect a lot of that lost heat back into the room – thus reducing your energy bills and your carbon footprint.

Deflecting solar heat in summer not only makes you more comfortable but saves on the costs of cooling your environment. All of our window films can help reduce heat transmission through glass by deflecting solar heat.

Glass or polycarbonate roofs or roof lights can be a major problem, treatment with CoolKote Film prevents the heat from building up under polycarbonate or glass roofs, by reflecting the sun's heat away before it can be transmitted whilst allowing the light through. Immediate and dramatic reductions in internal daytime temperatures are achieved.

UV radiation is a major cause of sun fade along with heat, visible light and other factors. Stock, flooring, fittings and office equipment will all suffer within a short period of time. Stock in areas beneath or behind large expanses of glazing such as shop window displays and museum displays, where the sun shines directly on the glass, is particularly vulnerable to solar damage.

UV Shield Solar control window films with a high light transmission can cut heat and visible light as well as filtering out 98% of UV light from the sun - making a significant contribution to fade reduction and improving thermal comfort.

Commercially, glass is being used more and more to form partitions, especially in offices and shops. UV Shield Privacy Film can provide a cost-effective solution to making these glazed areas safe (visible) and providing seclusion in areas you do not want in the public eye.

UV Shield Privacy Film can also be designed to feature corporate logos and messages. The use of window film for this purpose is ideal as it is inexpensive, stylish and professional – and, perhaps more importantly in this ever-changing corporate climate, it can be changed quickly and easily as opposed to expensive etched glass.

The glare caused by reflections and direct sunlight can cause discomfort and distress to the occupants of buildings. In some instances this glare can render the use of computer screens virtually impossible. This is especially significant for office workers and can become a health and safety issue. Glare can lead to eye-strain, headaches and even illness - affecting both comfort and performance.

UV Shield Glare Control Films provide a cost effective alternative to blocking out the light with curtains or blinds. Having glare reduction window films fitted will help employers to comply with health and safety regulations and can contribute to increasing staff moral, creativity and productivity.
