Window Film to the Rescue

Back to Testimonials

Window Film at Felix Engineering A SolarGard film came to the rescue of Felix Engineering when its local council cut down a line of shady trees, exposing the boat builder's premises to the worst effects of the sun. The film has been installed to windows along the length of the factory and also to some south-facing office windows. The film cuts down glare and heat gain to make the workplace more comfortable for employees and promote safety by keeping the sun off the chemicals. Its reflective finish also restores some of the privacy previously afforded by the trees.

Felix Engineering builds 42 and 46ft sea-going Princess boats at its premises alongside the A38 in Devon. General Manager Dave Cotter says: "When the council cut down the trees separating the factory from the road, the sunlight came flooding in, causing all sorts of problems. The factory became an unpleasantly hot place to work and we were also concerned about the effect of the sun on the chemicals. Glare was annoying employees and interfering with production. The SolarGard film has sorted it all out very effectively."

Window Film at Felix Engineering Specialist Bekaert dealer ADS Window Films of Plymouth recommended a number of films from the SolarGard range, finally installing SolarGard Silver 20. This film reduces glare by 82% and reduces heat gain by 75% but maintains high levels of natural daylight and has a silver reflective finish.
