Glare Reduction for Downtown Columbus Offices
Addressing Afternoon Glare
This project in Downtown Columbus involved applying commercial window tint to 14 windows, covering 237 square feet. The primary concern for this office was intense afternoon glare, which created a disruptive and uncomfortable working environment, negatively impacting employee productivity.
The Chosen Solution: Avery Dennison Solar 20
To combat the harsh sunlight, Avery Dennison Solar 20 film was selected. This specific film is designed for solar control, meaning it manages the amount of solar energy entering the building through the windows.
How Solar Control Film Works
Solar control window films, like the Avery Dennison Solar 20 used here, incorporate specialized layers that reflect a significant portion of the sun's heat and light. This reduces the intensity of light entering the space, directly addressing the glare issue. The "20" in Solar 20 typically refers to its light transmission level, indicating a reduction in brightness.
Application and Benefits
The installation was performed on standard-sized windows. Our technicians meticulously cleaned each of the 14 windows before applying the film, ensuring a smooth, professional finish across the 237 sqft area.
Tangible Improvements for Productivity
By significantly reducing the harsh glare that plagued the office during afternoon hours, the Avery Dennison Solar 20 film created a more comfortable and visually conducive environment. This directly aimed to mitigate the productivity losses previously experienced by the staff due to eye strain and discomfort.
