Penthouse Window Film Installation in Cincinnati
This project involved applying Avery Dennison SP E Lite 70i window film to 12 windows, covering 178 square feet in a Cincinnati penthouse. The primary objectives were to mitigate intense solar heat and reduce distracting glare, all while maintaining the original aesthetic of the windows.
Addressing Heat and Glare
Penthouse apartments, due to their elevated position and often expansive glass surfaces, can be susceptible to significant solar heat gain and glare. This can make living spaces uncomfortable, particularly during sunny periods. The Avery Dennison SP E Lite 70i film was selected for its ability to address these issues effectively.
How the Film Works
The SP E Lite 70i is designed to reject a portion of the sun's heat and light without significantly darkening the window.
Visible Light Transmission (VLT)
This film offers a high VLT, meaning it allows a substantial amount of natural light to pass through. This ensures that the interior remains bright and the views are preserved, which was a key requirement for this installation.
Maintaining Natural Appearance
A critical aspect of this project was preserving the building's visual integrity. The SP E Lite 70i film is known for its clarity and minimal alteration of the window's appearance. Post-installation, the film is nearly indistinguishable from untreated glass, providing functional benefits without compromising aesthetics.
Project Outcome
The installation successfully reduced the harsh heat and glare experienced in the penthouse. The occupants can now enjoy a more comfortable environment. The film's unobtrusive nature means the windows look virtually unchanged, providing a discreet yet effective solution. This type of upgrade is common for properties seeking improved comfort and energy efficiency in the Cincinnati area.
