Gym spaces need to feel open and energising but also comfortable and private.
That was the balance required for this Gateshead leisure centre.
Large glazing was letting in too much heat and glare, making workouts less enjoyable, especially during peak daylight hours. At the same time, members using equipment near the windows needed consistent privacy – day and night.
The solution combined two films, each doing a specific job.
Dark Reflective Silver 20 (applied across all panes):
- Reflects sunlight away from the glass
- Reduces glare for a more comfortable training environment
- Helps control heat build-up inside the gym
- Maintains outward visibility during the day
Its mirrored silver finish also adds a clean, modern look to the building.
White Frost Privacy Film (applied to lower sections):
- Provides full 24-hour privacy – no visibility in or out
- Still allows natural light through
- Ideal for areas where members are using equipment close to windows
The result? A smart combination:
- Cooler, more comfortable workout space
- Reduced glare across the gym floor
- Full privacy exactly where it’s needed
- Clean, professional finish inside and out
By combining performance film with privacy film across 38m² of glazing, the space now works better for both the business and its members.
Sometimes one film isn’t enough, it’s about using the right combination.
