Shading Ships and Control Rooms

Shading without compromising on visibility: the power of Grey 20 Flat

In critical working environments where outside visibility is essential - such as wheelhouses, bridge operating stations and control towers - solar shading is not a luxury but a necessity. At the same time, shading must not obstruct visibility. Grey 20 Flat glass film offers the perfect solution for this: blinds with maximum transparency and minimum glare.

Your warranty 7 to 10 years

Solar control glass film; up to a whopping 84% heat protection!

TNO Tested

Specially designed for ships, control rooms and control towers

The Grey 20 Flat was designed with a specific application in mind: functional control environments where safety and visibility must go hand in hand. Consider:

  • Vessel wheelhouses

  • Bridge and lock control rooms

  • Control rooms of industrial sites

  • Air traffic control stations

  • Traffic towers at airports

The glass film prevents hindrance from sunlight and reflections without affecting the view through.

Fully transparent blinds with high filtering capacity

Grey 20 Flat is a crystal clear polyester film which is applied to the inside of the glass. Thanks to the innovative material, there is no image distortion at all, which is crucial in environments where sharp vision is essential. The low light transmission rate provides effective filtering of bright sunlight and annoying glare.

Where can blinds/film be applied?

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
