LLumar Window Film Protects Against Damages of Sun

There’s a dangerous intruder we may not have even thought about, and it can reach us while we’re at home, in our cars and at work. It’s the sun, and its UVA and UVB rays can cause skin cancer and vision problems, fade expensive furniture and fabrics, and raise our energy bills.

That’s why more and more individuals and businesses are turning to a window film called LLumar® for help:

After the film was installed at Washington Dulles International Airport, solar heat was reduced by 49 percent, and millions of passengers benefited from a 63 percent glare reduction.

When the Kahala Mandarin Oriental luxury hotel in Honolulu totally renovated its interiors, it wanted to protect their new furnishings and wood floors from the sun’s ravages, so they turned to LLumar® film.

Exxon USA’s Houston headquarters retrofitted its 43-story glass and steel structure with LLumar® and not only saw significant energy savings, but the appearance of the 30-year-old building was also improved by the modern gun-metal gray film that was chosen.

A Necessity in “Sun Belt” Countries

In warmer climates, window film has become a necessary option for automobiles as well. “In the ‘sun belt’ countries around the world, sales of LLumar® window film have increased significantly since the brand launched globally in 2001,” says Pam Feese, marketing manager, CPFilms International Division....
