Silo Hotel Rooftop Restaurant – V & A Waterfront

Situation

Frameless balustrade glass panels surrounding the perimeter of the rooftop restaurant are an important safety concern for the hotel's management. Their main concern is the well-being of the hotel guests and restaurant patrons.

Solution

The hotel management working in conjunction with Arup Engineers and Mazor Aluminium, therefore, decided from a safety point of view to have a safety window film applied. Cape Town Window Tinting was tasked with applying a Llumar 100 Micron safety film to all balustrade perimeter panels.  The purpose of the film is to contain glass fragments in the event of the glass breaking thereby preventing large particles from falling to the floor below and potentially causing injury or harm.

Result

The hotel management was satisfied with the installation procedure and end result. Peace of mind

knowing that their staff, guests, and visitors were always in a safe environment was of course the best possible result.

Residential Apartment Block

A newly built upmarket residential block comprising various units in Newlands constructed by Rawson Developers. The studio units comprised of an open space living area and bedroom. The bedroom area was cordoned off by sets of sliding glass panels. Cape Town Window Tinting was tasked to apply frost vinyl (sandblast appearance) to 52 of the studio apartments. The frost vinyl provides total privacy for the bedroom occupant without darkening the bedroom as the frost vinyl allows the natural light to radiate through.

Residential 

Situation

The client requested a film that would protect floors, furniture, and curtains from fading and damage due to the sun’s UV rays.

Solution

A Llumar neutral film was installed to block 99% of UV rays thereby protecting floors and furniture against fading/damage. The film is very light in color and hardly noticeable when applied. The Llumar neutral film also provides heat and glare reduction.   

Result

The client was very satisfied with the quality of workmanship and end result as the window film is very light in color and hardly noticeable once applied.

04

Commercial

Situation

The client requested that the existing film which had reached the end of its life span be replaced. The employees had issues with excessive heat and glare.

Solution

The bubbling and peeling old film was removed and replaced with a silver reflective film that has a 10-year manufacturer’s warranty. The excessive heat and glare reduction (79%) was immediately noticeable.

Result

The roller blinds were previously always down, but due to the 79% glare reduction of the film, the blinds could now be rolled up and the staff could enjoy the view and also not feel boxed in. The reduction in temperature also results in the air conditioning system not having to work as hard to keep the office space cool, therefore using less energy and in turn saving on the electricity bill.

Allan Gray Head Office
Cape Town

Situation
In 2016, Allan Gray’s head office in Cape Town had an issue with its internal glass balustrade
panels. Spontaneous cracking of the glass occurred due to (according to the experts) a nickel
sulfide inclusion. This spontaneous cracking was of great concern to Allan Gray management and
they wanted to ensure that their staff and visitors were always in a safe environment.
Solution
After consultation with a glass expert, it was recommended that a Llumar clear safety film was to be
applied to the balustrade panels. I was instructed and tasked by Allan Gray to have the Llumar
safety and security clear film applied. The balustrade at Allan Gray had a handrail that was
removed, the safety film was applied over the top edge of the panel and thereafter the handrail
replaced. The purpose of the film is to contain glass fragments in the event of the glass breaking and
thereby prevent large particles from falling to the floor below and potentially causing injury or harm.
This project was duly carried out and managed by myself with great success.
Result
Allan Gray's management was satisfied with the installation procedure and end result. Peace of mind
knowing that their staff and visitors were always in a safe environment was of course the best
possible result.

Building: Wembley Square – Amazon Client Services Call Centre

SITUATION

One of the largest corporate brands faced multiple challenges resulting from too much sunlight pouring through the building’s glass façade. The excess heat was making the staff uncomfortable forcing the facility’s air conditioning to work at maximum capacity and substantially increasing the facility’s monthly energy costs.

SOLUTION

Working side-by-side with John Afonso, the facilities manager decided he would try to resolve the issues by applying one window film to the inside of the building’s glass façade: LLumar’s N1040 Neutral range window film, a sputtered film that offers 53% total solar energy rejection, 57% glare reduction and 99% UV protection.

RESULT

The facilities manager reports that the film was successful in performing everything that it was asked to do. “The film creates a pleasing environment inside the club,” he said. “It provides a comfortable working environment and offers significant energy savings. I am fully satisfied with the quality and performance of the Llumar film.”
