Challenge

A contemporary home with expansive glazing faced issues of privacy due to its proximity to neighboring properties a very common problem nowadays. Additionally, the homeowners wanted to control solar heat gain to enhance indoor comfort without compromising on natural light.

Solution

Our famous Silver 20 window film was chosen for its excellent balance of privacy, solar control, and light transmission:

Privacy: The reflective property of the Silver 20 film provided the necessary privacy during daylight hours, allowing the residents to enjoy their home without the concern of being overlooked.

Solar Control: The film's ability to reject solar energy significantly reduced heat build-up, maintaining a comfortable living environment without excessive reliance on air conditioning.

Natural Light: Despite its solar control properties, Silver 20 allowed for ample natural light to penetrate the interior, keeping the home bright and welcoming.

Aesthetic Integration: The film's subtle appearance complemented the home's modern architecture, enhancing the property's external appeal.

Results

The Silver 20 window film installation achieved the homeowner’s goals:

Enhanced Privacy: The residents reported a high level of satisfaction with the privacy levels during the day.

Improved Comfort: The reduction in solar heat gain resulted in a more consistent and cooler indoor temperature.

Bright Interiors: The home continued to enjoy high levels of natural light without the adverse effects of glare and excessive heat.

Visual Appeal: The film's appearance was well-received, adding to the home's modern look rather than detracting from it.
