Another Fun, Frosting Project

Posted on by Solar

A local company had a big problem…… they had in excess of 400 workstations installed in their new offices and thought that clear glass on all of them would make the area feel open and warm. After all the units were installed they realized they had made a mistake! They now wanted the glass frosted to provide a more private environment for employees to do their work. They were left with 2 options: 1- Absorb a significant cost and re-order the glass with the frosted look or 2 – Hire SolarTex, to retrofit the existing units with a frosted film. We’re glad to report they chase option 2! After seeing a couple of the units completed the project manager reported that the film looked great. We have to agree with that, and we’re glad we could help! We love to help people solve problems. Images below:

Winter Sun Stronger Than Summer Sun In Some Cases

Posted on by Solar

The sun can often reek more havoc in the Winter than in the Summer. The lower angles of winter daylighting can be more intense for some elevations and when coupled with light reflecting off remaining snow, the glare can be overwhelming. Many of our films can cut down the harsh light leaving you with a clearer view of the outside, while allowing you to leave your blinds open, and your view unobstructed. The article below references additional reasons to consider window film for your home or business.

A Note to Building Owners and Managers

Posted on by Solar

Here’s a great article written by the executive director of the IWFA (International Window Film Association). Granted, he may be a little biased (and so are we), but none-the-less the points made in the article are all valid. The article appeared in a recent issue of Sustainable Facility. Give it a shot, then give us a call!

Making Chemistry Cool

Posted on by Solar

We recently did some work for a local company that does work that we don’t really understand! Despite our lack of love for chemistry, we did love the work we were able to complete for them. It adds a nice touch of privacy to their cubicle walls while tying in the theme of what they do. Photos are posted below.

We’ll Never Be On This List!

Posted on by Solar

We just discovered while reading our BBB Beacon that one of our competitors ended up on the “Buyer’s Alert” list for consumers. It goes like this – If you have one or more report on your company and do NOTHING to resolve it you are flagged in the buyer’s alert section. We’re not surprised to see this but we want you to know – we will NEVER be on this list. We’re different – we care – we love our work.

Here’s a link where you can check out how we rate with the BBB of Ohio.
