Cooling a Working Kitchen, at Height and on Deadline
An army barracks kitchen running hot, with the glazing set high above the workspace and barely any time to work in. High-performance laminated-safe solar film brought the temperature down — installed at height, finished on schedule.

The industrial kitchen at this army barracks was becoming uncomfortably hot, with solar gain through the glazing adding to the heat already generated by the cooking equipment.
Two factors made the installation more demanding than usual. The glass was set high above the working area, requiring safe access at height, and the site needed the work completed on a short turnaround to limit disruption to kitchen operations.
THE CHALLENGE
Understanding The Problem.
Every project starts with understanding what isn't working. From excessive heat and glare to privacy or security concerns, identifying the problem allows us to recommend a solution that suits both the glazing and the space.
Solar heat gain through the glazing is significantly reduced, making conditions more manageable for staff working alongside industrial cooking equipment.
The work was completed within the short window available to the site.

With the requirement understood, we selected an approach that balanced the desired result with the appearance and practical requirements of the glazing.
