Solar Control Window Film Reduces Heat & Glare In Captain’s Corner on Kelleys Island




It’s always a pleasure to head to the islands in Lake Erie, especially when we get to improve some of our favorite places outside of Toledo. One of those places is Captain’s Corner on Kelleys Island, where we helped improve the dining experience by eliminating the excessive heat and irritating glare using sun control window films.

How We Chose The Right Sun Control Window Films for Captain’s Corner

As always, we started with a free and comprehensive consultation with Captain’s Corner to help them find the right solution based on their unique needs. Being on an island makes the effects of the sun even more pronounced, so we knew we needed something that could handle the heat.

We also needed to ensure that diners in the restaurant could enjoy the views, even at night, so we selected 3M Night Vision 35 as the right sun control window film for the job. This innovative window film was a perfect fit for what we and the customer needed, as it provided all these benefits:

  • Enhanced views with low interior reflectivity, especially at night.
  • Rejects up to 71% of the sun’s heat to help reduce glare and eye discomfort.
  • Significantly blocks the amount of harmful UV rays that cause fading, helping to extend the life of the tables, booths, and all other furnishings in the restaurant.
  • Made with a scratch-resistant coating to ensure that it looks great, even in high-traffic places like a popular eatery.
  • 3M™ nano-technology enhances the film’s color stability for consistent results over time.
  • Includes a comprehensive warranty from 3M, so you know your investment is protected.

Enhanced Views, Savings and Comfort From Window Films

The night vision series helps block the sun’s damaging UV rays, reduce glare and reject up to 71% of the sun’s heat. This is especially beneficial to Captain’s Corner, as they are busiest in the Summer when days are long and hot. The heat rejection properties of this sun control window film help provide energy savings, as well, which is a major benefit when you’re running a business like a restaurant.

Night Vision films also allow 15% to 35% of the natural light into the dining room during the day, and thanks to a low interior reflectivity, customers still enjoy the view out at night. Plus, higher exterior reflectivity means diners can enjoy their meals in private.
