01
Assess the existing glazing
Establish the glass type, glazing build-up, orientation, frame condition and any constraints that affect what can safely be applied.
Solutions
Start with the outcome you need.
Choose the requirement closest to your project. Each route brings together the relevant film types, technical considerations and supporting evidence.
01
Solar Performance
Reduce excessive solar heat, disruptive glare and ultraviolet exposure while managing daylight and the appearance of existing glazing.
02
Energy Saving & Insulation
Improve the thermal performance of existing glazing and reduce unwanted heat transfer without the disruption of full glass replacement.
03
Safety & Reguylation 14
Assess glazing risk and specify safety film systems where existing glass may need impact protection or remedial treatment.
04
Security & Blast Mitigation
Strengthen existing glazing against impact, forced entry and blast-related fragmentation using tested film and retention systems.
05
Privacy, Manifestation & Graphics
Change visibility, appearance and wayfinding through glazing using privacy films, manifestation and digitally printed systems.
06
Specialist Films
Solve specialist glazing requirements including bird strike, light pollution, fading, switchable privacy, EMI control and surface protection.
FROM REQUIREMENT TO SPECIFICATION
The right film starts with the glazing.
Solartek does not start with a product catalogue. We assess the existing glazing, define the performance required and then specify a film system supported by the appropriate technical data and compatibility checks.
02
Define the required outcome
Identify what needs to change, whether that is solar heat, glare, safety, security, privacy, thermal performance or another specialist requirement.
03
Specify and evidence the system
Match the requirement to an appropriate film or film-and-retention system, supported by the relevant performance data, assessment and documentation.
SUPPORTING ROUTES
Need the evidence around the solution?
Move from the glazing requirement into the regulations, technical documentation, project evidence or procurement information that supports the specification.

NOT SURE WHICH SOLUTION FITS?
Start with the glazing.
Tell us about the building, the existing glass and what you need it to do. Solartek can help establish the appropriate technical route and recommend a suitable film system.
You don’t need to know which film, product or specification you need before you contact us.
