Broxbourne School

• Location: Broxbourne, Hertfordshire
• Contract Value: £4800
• Duration: 2 weeks

Having had their glass inspected and upgraded back in 1999, the Facilities Manager became aware of the importance of monitoring the glazing within the school due to changes in regulations over the years.

Solartek were called in to carry out a Workplace [Health, Safety & Welfare] Regulation 14 Glass identification survey.

After testing every pane of glass within this glazing law, over 200 sq mts of glass was found to fall foul of the safety standard required. The original safety film that had been applied was old, dilapidated and out of warranty.

Solartek upgraded all the glass that needed upgrading over the course of the Easter Break, applying their 100 micron safety film and EN12600 kite mark sticker.

This glass will now break safely in the event of incident, protecting both staff and visitors from debris.

Harrods

• Location: Knightsbridge
• Contract Value: £3500
• Duration: 3 separate Sundays

Harrods contacted Solartek expressing their concerns that the glazing above the main rear entrance was unsightly. This was due to having clear glass with shelving behind. Residents opposite had complained about the amount of light that was apparent at night from the shelf lights.

The problem was that access was not possible on the inside of the glass.

Solartek Films Ltd organised permits from Westminster Council for three consecutive Sunday mornings. This allowed Solartek’s preferred access company to supply a suitable boom lift with driver to gain access to the external surface of the glass.

Solartek then supplied and fitted blackout vinyl to the glass and sealed the edges with mastic. The unsightly view was hidden and complaints from the residents ceased.

EDS

• Location: Stockley Park, Heathrow
• Contract Value: £120000

Solartek successfully completed this contract over 10 weekends.

This film will considerably reduce EDS’s carbon footprint. It reflects 79% heat transmission during summer months, and creates a much more comfortable working atmosphere for the 1200 + employees working below.

Lord's Cricket Ground

• Location: Lord's Cricket Ground
• Contract Value: £100,000
• Duration: 12 weeks

The security measures at Lord’s Cricket Ground have been given a significant boost, thanks to the installation of Solartek’s bomb blast window film which has been installed on 90 per cent of the windows on site.

Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC) has been working alongside our experienced team of security professionals here at Solartek to improve its security procedures over the last year and a half. It took the decision to beef security up after being advised by the National Counter-Terrorism Security Office (NaCTSO) that 90 per cent of all injuries that are sustained in the event of a bomb blast are caused by flying glass.

The first building that received the full programme of window filming was the Lord’s Pavilion, a grade II-listed building and one of the most famous and iconic to be found in the world of sport.

“In the current climate it is crucial that security at Lord’s is as tight as possible, and I am very pleased with the marked improvements we have made in the last 18 months. We have excellent working relationships with numerous key stakeholders including the Met Police and the NaCTSO, and we are grateful to Solartek for their work on the blast proofing of our glazing”, MCC chief executive Derek Brewer said.
