Residential & commercial glazing

Take the heat off your building

Glass is where buildings lose the cooling battle. Bellfort architectural film cuts solar gain and glare on the glazing you already have — no reglazing, no scaffolding, no downtime for the floor below.

Four problems, one layer

What the film is actually doing

Prolonged exposure through untreated glass makes people tired, makes rooms unusable in the afternoon, and quietly bleaches everything the sun touches.

Solar heat

Rejects infrared before it becomes cooling load on the chiller.

Glare

Makes screen work possible on the window side of the floor plate.

Fading

Removes 99% of the ultraviolet that bleaches timber, fabric and art.

Glass retention

Safety grades hold fragments in the frame on impact.

Selection guide

Matching film to the building

Residential, commercial and safety applications solve different problems. This is the shortlist your dealer will work from after surveying the glass.

C.H.A.M.P architectural

Built to release, not just reject

Most architectural film absorbs heat and holds it. On a large facade that stored energy re-radiates inward through the afternoon, which is why some buildings stay hot long after the sun moves off the glass.

The C.H.A.M.P architectural range is built to shed absorbed energy back outward, so the glass line stops acting as a radiator — and the cooling plant stops chasing it.

Questions before you spec the glass

Not necessarily. Spectrally selective film separates heat from light, so you can cut solar gain substantially while keeping a light interior. Dark shades exist for privacy, but they are a separate decision from heat performance.
Often yes, but not always — some film and glass combinations raise thermal stress in a sealed unit. This is why a Bellfort dealer surveys the glass type, thickness, orientation and shading before specifying. Never let anyone quote architectural film without seeing the glass.
It depends on glass area, orientation, and how hard your air conditioning currently works. West and east-facing glazing shows the biggest change because that is where low-angle sun drives peak load. A dealer survey gives you a modelled figure for your building rather than a generic percentage.
No, and no reputable supplier should suggest otherwise. Safety and security film holds fragments together and resists repeated impact, which delays forced entry and reduces flying-glass injury. It is a retention layer, not ballistic protection.
It removes the largest single cause. Ultraviolet drives most fading, and Bellfort film rejects 99% of it. Visible light and heat also contribute, so film slows fading dramatically rather than stopping it outright.
