This time it's the "Film Installation Edition." We received a request for installation from the owner of a training gym to whom we had previously sent a quote and samples. We promptly held a meeting. 1. The locations of the windows to be installed 2. The type of film 3. Desired construction date → After the installation date is decided, we will arrange the installation and the film. August 2024, Installation Day After greeting the customer, we began the installation. Today's work is outside. Process 1-5 → Start of work - first, thoroughly clean the entire window glass. 6-8 → Completely wipe off moisture and prepare to apply the film. 9-12 → Apply the film. In total, there are 12 steps to complete one piece of glass. Since there are three pieces of glass this time, we will repeat this process two more times. Cautions for external film application It is significantly affected by the wind. - When applying the film with moisture, the wind quickly dries the moisture. - The film is thin, so it can bend or become distorted due to the wind. However, all three pieces were applied quite beautifully and turned out like mirrors. For details on the installation process, please check the blog.

Continuation from Part 1 After finishing the measurements and returning to the office, I first picked up the films. I searched to see if there were any films that met the following conditions: 1. Must be applicable to wired glass. 2. Must be a heat-insulating film. 3. Can it be applied over an already installed film? Regarding condition 3, it seems better to remove the existing film, so I will proceed in that direction. I selected five types of films that seem suitable from the many available options. I will also properly calculate the "thermal breakage calculation" (refer to the blog). For now, I will arrange samples of the picked films and create estimates for each, and if necessary, prepare comparison tables as well. Once this is done, all that’s left is to send it to the customer and wait for their response! To be continued in the "Construction Edition."

This time, we received a request from the owner of a personal training gym. They asked, "Can we apply a film to counteract the heat, as the training space is getting too hot?" So, I headed out for a site visit. The gym is located in a residential area. It has west-facing windows, and I visited around 2 PM, but I was informed that it gets even hotter as the evening approaches. Since the windows are fixed, they cannot be opened, and the air conditioning is not very effective. I began checking the current situation. All the windows are made of [wire glass]. There are a total of five panes. I will show the owner some samples and explain the options. Then, I will take measurements: - Size and thickness of the windows - Shape of the glass - Are there any films or stickers applied to the glass? - Direction, presence of curtains, etc. (necessary for heat break calculations) It was discovered that two of the entrance door glass panes have a film (type unknown) applied to them. I will take the measurement results back to search for suitable films, prepare a quote, and arrange for samples. - To be continued in Part 2 -
