Case Study: Comfort Upgrade for Cornish Bakery

Running a café isn’t just about great coffee – it’s about creating a space people want to linger in. Cornish Bakery in York had a beautiful glass frontage that filled the shop with daylight. But that much glazing came with a challenge: heat build-up on sunny days made the space uncomfortable for staff and customers alike.

The owners wanted a solution that would tackle heat without dimming the light or changing the café’s inviting appearance.

Our answer was Very Light Spectra 70 Window Film – one of the best-performing light films on the market.

We installed 36 m² across the property. The film is almost invisible once in place, yet it’s engineered to perform far beyond what you’d expect from such a subtle finish.

Performance highlights

• 49% solar energy rejected: remarkable for a film this light.
• 70% visible light transmission: the café stays bright and airy.
• 30% glare reduction: screens and tables are easier on the eyes.
• 99% UV block: protects staff, furnishings and even the pastries on display.
• 70% infrared rejection: cuts heat at its source.
• Professional quality, scratch-resistant, non-fade.
• Fire rated (M1) and backed by a 10-year warranty.

The transformation was immediate. Staff now work in a cooler, more comfortable environment, and customers can enjoy their coffee without the discomfort of glare or stuffiness. The shop looks just as inviting as before – only now, it feels as good as it looks.
