GlassGard Ltd., a fully owned subsidiary of KleenPark Ltd., an ISO certified service organisation with the International Window Film Association (IWFA) accreditation, has over 25 years of experience in the window film industry and has been authorised to distribute and install 3M window films in Sri Lanka over the past 16 years, selected for their extensive product knowledge and proven ability to serve customers to the highest standards.
Sun control window films totally eliminate the harmful effects of UV damage, solar heat and glare, whilst keeping the occupants in comfort and protecting the interior furnishing from fading. Security window film helps protect against crime, explosions and vandalism. Shards of glass are held together by the film in case of explosions or accidents.
Use of window films in any type of building provides the key benefits of reducing solar heat and glare, thereby helping to cut air conditioning costs by at least 30% which gives a significant return on investment (ROI) on your window film installation cost.
GlassGard’s well-trained and experienced technical experts can conduct an energy audit on any commercial or residential project to give cost versus energy saving estimates including conservative payback period which will aid decision making. Being a 3M innovation, the sun control window films have a life expectancy over 20 years with a conditional warranty against bubbling, peeling, cracking and colour changing.
3M window film range comprises the clear, reflective and night vision series in the sun control film category and the ultra series in the safety and security window film category.
The prestige series uses a clear film non-metalized nano-technology to create very low reflectivity which is lower than that of glass which is ideal for commercial or retail applications including display windows. These spectrally selective films reject up to 97% of the sun’s heat producing infra-red light and 99.9% of the UV rays to keep the interior cool, comfortable and protect the skin from sun related diseases.
The reflective silver series is a high performance architectural film which is the most efficient sun control film and is used where solar heat rejection is a major concern. It is commonly installed behind tinted or clear glass.
The night vision series provides a unique appearance at night time and natural light is let in during the day while being able to see out at night due to the low-interior reflectivity of the window film. The ultra series will shield and protect the interior of a building against unwelcome events such as storms, accidents, vandalism, break-ins, bomb blasts and explosions.
At a time that the construction and property development sector in Sri Lanka is booming, window films have a significant role to play from improving energy efficiency and enhancing comfort, safety and security of occupants.
“Installing window films is the most simple, cost effective and efficient way to comfort and energy efficiency whilst enhancing overall aesthetics, privacy and appearance of a commercial, residential or apartment building,” said Madhawa Kodithuwakku, Marketing Manager of GlassGard. “Window films also help to provide security for occupants with its unique shatter-proof and blast-proof qualities,” he added.
