CPFilms is the world’s largest manufacturer of performance window film and
has worldwide expertise, fully guaranteed products, registered to BS EN ISO
9000 standards and a full and comprehensive technical helpline. Uniquely, it
has a window film manufacturing resource in the UK – at Runcorn in Cheshire
– as well as the US, at Martinsville, Virginia, and Canoga Park, California
USA.
CPFilms is a pioneer in coating and laminating flexible performance films,
setting quality standards which are guaranteed. Llumar® performance films,
designed for professional application to primarily window glass, use the
highest grade of optically clear polyester as base material. Patented
processes for deep-dyeing and adding the toughest scratch resistant coating
on the market are also incorporated into Llumar® performance film
manufacture. Advanced engineering techniques are used to deposit micro-thin
layers of metal alloys to give Llumar® performance films their energy
control and other properties. Certain “combination” films are designed to
deliver two or more performance properties simultaneously, e.g. both safety
and solar protection, and fade reduction. For superior performance in solar
control applications, Llumar® performance films feature the CPFilms,
patented CDF (Clear Distortion Free) adhesive system to give lower
distortion and a longer lasting installation.
Llumar® performance window film is designed for application to windows to
enhance the performance of the glass for a variety of purposes including
safety and security, protection from solar heat and glare, reducing fading
of fabrics, insulation against winter heat loss, provision of privacy or
simply a visually attractive finish. Each film is fully warranted by CPFilms.
Safety/Security and Bomb Blast Protection (Anti Shatter Film)
In terms of security and safety, films are available which achieve Classes A
& B of BS 6206 and the more demanding European impact performance
requirements of BS EN 12600 Classes 1B and 2B. Similarly, for security
purposes certain films achieve DIM 52290 Part 4. Stress type A1, Anti-bandit
testing (equivalent test BS 5544). Films offer safety/security against
breakages resulting from explosions, break-ins, accidents and storms. Safety
window films to BS 6206 and BS EN 12600 will upgrade plain float glass to
meet the requirements of Regulation 14 of the workplace (Health Safety and
Welfare) Regulations 1992. Current Home Office recommendations on “Bombs and
Protecting People” recommend the use of ASF (Anti shatter film). For
ultimate protection the use of the appropriate grade of safety film together
with the LLumar® Framelok edge retention system is recommended.
Solar protection films
The principal function of such window films is to reflect back the worst of
the suns heat and glare. An extensive range of tinted and reflective films
offers a wide choice of performance properties, together with aesthetic
options.
In addition some solar control window films can provide effective
electromagnetic radiation shielding.
Shade films (for use in roller blinds)
As an alternative to the permanency of installed solar control window film
the range of shade film blind options combine the performance of window
films with the flexibility of window blinds. These significantly reduce the
build-up of solar heat and glare, whilst allowing high levels of light
transmission during daylight hours. Shade film at the heart of a blind
system will also effectively screen out harmful UV. Flexibility with maximum
solar protection.
Fade protection films
A range of films specifically developed to reduce fading of artefacts,
furnishings and fabrics by reducing UV, infra-red and visible light.
Insulation films
The range of Low Emissivity films (Low E) are a film for all seasons
providing insulation in winter months and solar protection in summer months,
improve comfort levels and reduce heating costs.
Privacy films
This range of films prevents outsiders from seeing through the glass, whilst
still allowing light to enter the building. These films can also change the
aesthetics of the glazing and create a whole new effect.
Decorative films
These films are designed for internal partitions or any glazed surface and
provide levels of privacy as well as some creative and aesthetically
pleasing decorative designs.
Anti-graffiti film
This film has been developed to offer a complete surface protection system
for glazed and smooth surfaces that are vulnerable to damage, vandalism and
unwanted graffiti. CPFilms unique scratch resistant coating provides a tough
barrier to the un-wanted graffiti artist.
