Shading Ships and Control Rooms

Unique blinds for ships and control rooms

In some specific control rooms at industrial sites or for public services, it is indispensable to have a 100% clear view to the outside. Safety is at stake otherwise. What about wheelhouses of ships, bridge control buildings or control towers at airports. Sunlight or glare can seriously impair visibility. This is precisely why it is important to look at sun protection for ships and control rooms.

Specifically for these control rooms, wheelhouses of ships, or control towers, the Glass Film Screen is made in type Grey 20 Flat.

This film is a crystal clear polyester film applied to the inside of the glass. The product is completely transparent. No distortion of the image takes place at all. This guarantees the full view through to the outside. This is an essential component within shading for ships and control rooms.

Film type GREY 20 Flat has a low light transmission which gives it an excellent light filtering effect. The application of this high-quality system provides a good solution in almost any situation. In this regard, the product is very versatile. The basic system is manually operated but, given the economic purchase price, is often applied as an electrical system - possibly equipped with 'custom' accessories. These accessories may include wireless remote control, group distribution light sensor etc. The systems can also be adapted to existing window frames in RAL colors and fitted with a side guide.

The safe view is never compromised. A good warranty and fast lead time for any adjustments guarantee this.

No building is alike

Because every building or space has its own problems, Glasfolie Suncontrol developed a range of films and screens with different specific solar control properties. There is also an application available for your situation that guarantees the optimal effect.

Glass film Suncontrol, with 20 years of experience in this specific market, is your point of contact from design phase to maintenance. From 1 system to 500 systems, each project we will accomplish in a specific way.

Applications
Screens can be used on glass where the permanent application of glass film is not desired. Well-known applications include control rooms, offices, airports and any other building where flexible light transmission and good sun protection is desired or necessary. Screens are installed on the inside, both in and on the frame.

Excellent applications are places where the light must be well dosed such as:
- wheelhouses of ships
- bridge control buildings
- weighbridges
- control rooms
- control towers

Cleaning: The strong polyester film resists cleaning well. The best cleaning agent is clean water with a splash of household vinegar. The best tools: a clean sponge and chamois. Beware of grains of sand! A detailed cleaning instruction is provided to you upon delivery of the system.
Dimensions: Screens are available from 50 cm or smaller, up to a maximum of 3 meters wide or 3.5 meters high, and are custom-made.
From larger widths/heights than 182 cm it is necessary to apply a weld in the material. A cassette can be supplied at extra cost (in any RAL color).
