Architectural Films.

Optimising your building glass’ energy efficiency. Architectural films are designed for commercial and residential applications where damaging ultraviolet light, heat, and glare are problems, energy efficiency is important, or a new look is desired.

Lower Energy Costs. Heat loss through windows can cause discomfort to building occupants and unnecessarily high energy bills. Low emissivity insulating film applied to the inside face of ordinary single-glazed windows decreases heat loss by up to 30%. In warmer climates films reduce the cost of cooling a building by rejecting up to 79% of the sun's heat.

Block Heat & Glare. Architectural films helps correct temperature imbalances between sunny and shady areas and it
deflects harsh, uncomfortable glare. Employees are more comfortable and more productive.

Reduce Fading. Architectural films filters out up to 99% of the harmful ultraviolet rays that cause fading in fabrics,
furnishings and display merchandise.

Architectural Decorative Films

Decorative Films offer endless design possibilities from a basic palette of colored, translucent, opaque, and geometric patterned films. Decorative films add a subtle, stylish and effective level of privacy and glare reduction to any flat glass application. Custom effects are limited only by your creative imagination, a willingness to experiment, and a knowledgeable installer.

Decorative films are a cost effective, versatile alternative to the traditional method of acid etched patterned glass. Frosted films allow good use of available ambient light while reducing visual intrusion, making them an excellent choice to enhance privacy in offices, restaurants and storefronts. Used alone or combined with patterned film, these visually appealing films can eliminate the need for blinds. Frosted films reduce eye strain and help improve conditions for office employees and building tenants. All films are designed for interior application and can be retrofitted on existing glass by experienced installers with minimal disruption to
building tenants. The installation can be changed out periodically to meet new design requirements or the tastes of new building tenants far more easily and less expensively than replacing custom-etched glass.

Frosted Films

Etched glass panels provide a beautiful means of creating an entirely new environment of space, light and beauty. They are, however, very expensive and cannot be changed once etched. Glass treatment films give the appearance of expensive etched glass, come in different patterns and shades, and are easily removed and replaced when a new look is desired.

Translucent or Daylight Reflection Films

Translucent or daylight reflection films applied to the inside of your windows will let in light but guard against prying eyes. Blackout (opaque) films are also available for spandrel glass applications and a range of frosted decorative films can provide an attractive finish to interior glass.

Architectural Safety and Security Films

Safety and Security Films are heavy-duty polyester films bonded by especially aggressive adhesives. What distinguish them as a group are both their physical properties and the uses to which they are put. Functionally, they provide a stronger physical barrier that is more firmly bonded to the glass surface (generally speaking) than conventional solar control or decorative films. While solar control & decorative elements can be, and often are, added to Safety and Security Films, it is their physical properties
(such as their peel, tensile, and break strength) that allow them to serve a variety of safety and other protective uses.
When applied to glass in commercial and residential buildings, they can prevent much of the destruction caused by flying glass shards in windstorms, earthquakes, terrorist attacks or accidents. Upgrading existing glazing is quick and cost-effective with retrofit films. LLumar films meet or exceed specifications and requirements set forth by numerous international testing standards.These are some of the practical applications for Architectural Safety and Security Films:

Personal Safety

Most types of glass, when broken from any cause, particularly from human impact, produce sharp, ragged shards that are extremely dangerous to people. Even tempered glass in auto accidents can produce showers of small glass pellets that can cause serious injury to passengers. In many parts of the world, earthquake activity is an ever-present fact of life. Ground motion during seismic activity causes building movement, which in turn causes glass breakage and glass fall-out,
endangering people below, and again exposing a building’s contents to weather damage and theft during looting sprees.
Safety and security films have proven their worth in protecting people and property during seismic activity.
