"I was very pleased with the installation of the window film that Solarworks provided.  I noticed a significant reduction in the amount of heat in my home and was quite impressed with the energy savings."

- G. Streit / Alpharetta

"The windows film has helped a great deal.  Not only is it helping to protect my furniture and floors, but it is blocking out a large amount of bright light and heat that once was a problem in my home.  I would definitely recommend Solarworks."

"Solarworks has done many jobs here at Northside Hospital.  Recently, we had Solarworks put film on the windows in our cafeteria.  It was extremely hot before the film, it was difficult to sit and enjoy your meal.  Now that the film is on the windows, you can sit and relax even on the hottest of days.  I am very happy with the service that Solarworks provides!"

Making Lights of Home Work with Windows

Publicity professional Sophie Ryan faced a common problem the day she joined about a third of the American work force who now work at home either full or part time. Where to set up her office?

A home office has become a necessary fact of life and may consist of a desk tucked away in an alcove, foyer, kitchen or bedroom or it may be housed in a spare guestroom that supports a system big enough to run a small business.

Fortunately with her son moving out of the nest, Ryan had a spare bedroom in her Manhattan apartment. A room that has ample space for desks, a full range of office equipment, supplies and storage as well as a sofa bed.

However the room had one big problem. It had large windows that faced East which afforded a magnificent view of the East River and Long Island. But the windows also allowed strong sunlight to pour through the glass from dawn to dusk.

Apart from fading problems caused by the sun's ultraviolet light and heat build up, the glare made the office and computer impossible to use. During the day, the computer screen became almost unreadable and the television screen faded into obscurity. "I was at my wits end. This was the only space suitable for my work, I loved my views and I shuddered at the thought of blocking my view with blinds or draperies." Sophie Ryan said, and went on to express how delighted she was when she read about solar control window film.

The area 3M dealer recommended and installed the virtually invisible 3M SpectraSelect window film which cuts down on glare and reflectivity while letting in just the right amount of daylight to bring the interior into bright focus. 3M SpectraSelect rejects virtually all ultraviolet light (99 percent) and reduces heat gain by more than half. "Now I can enjoy my view while having the maximum amount of protection for my furnishings." An added plus for the installation of window film in an office environment is that frequently glancing through a window rests the eyes and results in less computer screen fatigue.

Window film, office equipment, a comfortable desk chair and pleasing decor help to create an office environment in which you feel motivated and productive. Most importantly these enlightened decorating decisions have helped to take the work out of working at home for Sophie Ryan.

Glare, glare, glare!
