Providing adequate sun control on ships and other marine vessels involves a fine balance between allowing enough natural light from the sun to enter without the harsh heat from the sun as well as its harmful UV rays. The hot overhead sun can make the atmosphere of marine vessels uncomfortable for crew members and the general public. The strong sun’s rays can also cause damage to wooden flooring and furniture. Installing specialized marine sun control film will ensure that you not only maintain a comfortable environment but also decrease costs due to sun damage. Since the film is made specifically for marine use, it is both corrosion resistant and will not interfere with normal functioning of the vessel’s communication or navigation system.
Sun control film when installed, acts like a barrier between the outside atmosphere and prevents heat transference to the indoor environment. This results in a naturally cooler environment with less need of air conditioning. Thus, installing sun control film will make your vessel more energy efficient and drive down costs significantly.
An additional feature of the sun control film helps to improve the safety of your crew members and passengers by reducing glare to an almost nonexistent level. This will improve visibility and comfort for your crew members, even in extreme conditions.
The sun’s UV rays are the main culprit in causing extensive damage to constantly exposed flooring, furniture and wall coverings. By installing sun control film, the sun’s harmful UV rays will be completely blocked, thereby preventing damage to interiors of the vessel.
