Excess heat and glare from direct sun light can have detrimental effects on your staff’s well-being and productivity. By using specialist window film, you will reduce heat, glare and the harmful effects of UV rays on furniture.
3M window film prevents glass to shatter by holding it together thus reducing the risk of shards flying around causing further injury. The Ultra range goes a step further by protecting glass from forced entry, vandalism and bomb blasts.
Using bomb prevention or safety and security window film combined with the 3M impact protection system will significantly reduce the risk of injury to people, help protect damage to property and deter thieves.
There is no doubt that window film can solve glazing issues you might have relating to solar or safety concerns and avoid costly replacement of glass. The window film specialists at Joyce Designs will be at hand to advise on the best solution for your needs. Several factors will need to be taken into account and assessed so that we can deliver the right solution:
Solar energy enters buildings as heat, light, and glare through windows. Installing solar control films provides an effective barrier. These films block a significant portion of solar heat and glare while allowing light to pass through, making them a cost-efficient solution for temperature and glare control.
Employers are responsible for maintaining a comfortable work environment as per Health & Safety and Display Screen Equipment Regulations. Excessive heat and glare can negatively impact productivity and cause heat fatigue, eye strain, headaches, and migraines.
Installing solar control film can significantly improve comfort and workplace conditions.
Windows are the most vulnerable point in a building’s security. 3M films from Joyce Design can enhance their strength and resilience. Designed to keep glass fragments intact, these films help minimise the risk of injury from shattered glass. The films also act as a deterrent to crime by making the glass more impact-resistant, making it much harder to break through.
Regardless of the cause behind the glass breakage—whether it's an accident, severe weather, criminal activity, or even an explosion— 3M Safety and Security films help keep the shattered pieces intact, offering added protection and security.
3M Ultra Series film should be part of your strategy to reduce glass-related damage and injuries during blasts. It can greatly reduce the impact of an explosion, especially when properly anchored to the window frame using a suitable anchoring system. The degree of protection can be customised to meet the specific requirements of each building.
Martyn's Law, also called the Terrorism (Protection of Premises) Bill, is a pending UK law devised to boost public safety. It will require certain public venues and events to take steps to lower the risk of terrorist attacks, with the measures changing based on the size and type of the place or event. The law is named after Martyn Hett, who tragically lost his life in the Manchester Arena bombing. The goal is to make sure we're better prepared and protected from terrorist threats in public spaces.
