Task
Daytime privacy & heat reduction for glass-fronted guest rooms
Views, privacy, and comfort – without compromise
Nestled in the picturesque Lake District, Gilpin Hotel offers luxury and nature in perfect harmony. But some of their stunning glass-fronted guest rooms were turning into heat traps on sunny days, leaving guests with only one option: blackout blinds.
Not exactly the lakeside vibe they had in mind.
We stepped in with a smarter solution: Dark Reflective Silver 20 – a high-performance window film that:
- Keeps out prying eyes during the day
- Rejects up to 79% of solar energy to reduce overheating
- Blocks 99% of UV rays – great for both guests and interiors
- Cuts glare by 83%, making the room more relaxing without dimming the view
- Maintains that sleek, mirror-like exterior finish guests love
The challenge? Many of the glass panels were wider than the standard 152cm roll. So, to keep the finish flawless and avoid ugly joins, we used 183cm rolls. A small change that made a big difference in quality.
Guests get to enjoy privacy, comfort, and the stunning views – exactly as Gilpin intended.
