Job of the week: protective solar film doubles as branding tool | WindowArt

This week’s featured installation is a great example of just how versatile frosted window vinyl can be.

Frosted window vinyl functions as protective solar film by blocking out harmful UV rays. Applying solar film to windows and glass doors is especially important in countries with sunny climates, such as South Africa. We often forget to apply sunscreen when we’re inside, even though the sun’s rays can easily penetrate untreated glass and cause serious skin damage. Applying solar film to windows in the workplace is a great way to protect not only your employees but also expensive furniture and office equipment.

Solar film not only blocks dangerous UV rays, it also aids temperature regulation by insulating windows and glass walls and doors. In this way, solar film contributes to a lower electricity bill, as there is less need for indoor heating and air conditioning. Remember that computers and other expensive pieces of equipment are easily damaged by direct sunlight and intense heat. Treating office windows with solar film mitigates this risk.

Solar film is able to achieve all of the above while simultaneously giving your offices an elegant, professional look. In the installation featured today, frosted solar film has been used as a branding tool as well as a protective window treatment. The SASSA logo and name is clearly displayed, alerting visitors to the fact that these are the offices of the South African Social Security Agency. The frosted vinyl decals also display the agency’s opening hours. For an added touch of elegance, three curved lines have been added to the decal design. The end result is a professional, chic and functional entrance; a great first impression for any visitor to the agency.
