Maximum UV protection for a science laboratory.
In Nottingham, a Science Lab faced a hidden enemy – ultraviolet light. Invisible but relentless, UV exposure can interfere with sensitive research, damage lab equipment, and even compromise safety standards over time. The client needed a robust, professional solution to protect both their work and their people.
The answer: Amber UV Window Film.
This specialist film is designed for environments where absolute control over UV levels is critical. With its amber hue and advanced filtering technology, it blocks 99.5% of UV radiation up to 420nm, creating a stable, protected environment without turning the lab into a dark cave. Natural daylight still enters, but the harmful wavelengths are stopped at the glass.

The Tintfit team fitted 49m² of Amber UV film across the lab glazing. Installation was seamless, carried out internally to avoid disrupting the facility. The result? A laboratory safeguarded from harmful UV, with equipment, samples and staff now working in an environment optimised for both science and safety.
