Glare and Heat Reduction for Dayton Donut Shop
A local donut shop in Dayton, Ohio, recently sought a solution to combat the intense glare and heat affecting their business. Excessive sunlight streaming through their 15 windows, totaling 214 square feet, created an uncomfortable environment for both customers and staff. To address this, TruView Films installed Madico Duralite 40, a commercial window film specifically chosen for its glare-reducing and heat-control properties.
Understanding Window Film's Function
Window film works by altering how solar energy interacts with glass. Madico Duralite 40 is a type of polyester film applied to the interior glass surface. It is engineered to reduce the amount of visible light that enters a space, thereby mitigating harsh glare. This is measured by Visible Light Transmission (VLT), with a lower VLT indicating less light and reduced glare.
Solar Heat Gain Control
Beyond glare, the film also addresses solar heat gain. Sunlight carries thermal energy, which can significantly increase indoor temperatures and strain cooling systems. Madico Duralite 40 effectively rejects a portion of this solar heat. The Solar Heat Gain Coefficient (SHGC) quantifies how much solar radiation enters a space through the window. By lowering the SHGC, the film helps maintain a more stable and comfortable interior temperature, reducing reliance on air conditioning.
The Installation in Dayton
The project involved the precise application of Madico Duralite 40 to 15 windows across the donut shop’s premises. This process, while requiring careful attention to detail, is performed efficiently by our trained technicians. The goal is always a clean, professional finish that enhances both the appearance and the performance of the windows.
Benefits for Local Businesses
The installation at the Dayton donut shop resulted in a noticeable improvement in interior comfort. Reduced glare makes it easier to see displays and work without eye strain, while lower solar heat gain keeps the space cooler and more inviting. This enhancement contributes to a better customer experience and a more productive work environment.
