A neighborhood restaurant in Little Elm, TX was seeking help with glare and heat control. A wall of windows created a hot, bright indoor environment. After listening to the client’s needs, we installed a product called Natura 15, which allows perfect view out but provides privacy from outside looking in, along with 70% heat reduction and 85% glare reduction. This product also comes with a 15 year film and labor warranty, checking all the boxes for the restaurant owners.
The interior remodel blocked access to the interior of some of the windows, so we installed a black out film on the exterior, that hides interior walls & construction while blending in aesthetically with the interior film. This keeps a coherent look from the exterior.
The Glare and Heat Challenge
Restaurant owners and managers are all too familiar with the challenges posed by excessive glare and heat entering their establishments. Glare not only disrupts customers’ visual comfort but can also negatively impact their overall dining experience. Additionally, heat infiltration can result in discomfort for both patrons and staff, ultimately leading to decreased satisfaction levels and potential loss of business. Recognizing these issues, Architectural Glass Solutions offers solutions that not only mitigate glare and heat but also offer additional benefits to improve the overall ambiance of dining spaces.
