Glare caused by the sun can be a dangerous distraction in vessel traffic services control towers. A clear, unobstructed view is essential for maintaining a safe operational environment.
The sun can also cause heat to build up which can make operators feel uncomfortable and can even cause fatigue.

More about SOLASOLV sunscreens for control towers
The shade film is available in four colours – GOLD and SILVER Reflective, and GREY and BRONZE Non-reflective. However, GREY or BRONZE are the most appropriate colours for vessel traffic services control towers. The specialist shade film is constructed using layers of polyester film. The film is dyed to reduce glare and the heat is rejected by the layer of aluminium laminated inside the polyester layers. A UV inhibitor is embedded in the polyester film to help eliminate most of the harmful UV light from the sun. GREY film is available with a scratch resistant coating. Roller screens are only required during daylight hours and should be retracted at night.
The shade film is mounted onto a heavy-duty aluminium roller inside an anodised aluminium cassette headbox with integral brush strip to protect from dust and dirt. They are effective, reliable and durable. The film is not affected by sub-zero temperatures, tropical heat or humidity. An important factor for roller screens which are used in specialised work areas. Non-cassette screens are also available.
Control Towers often have windows that slope forwards or backwards.
• Order screens with constant tension spring rollers and double pulley bottom rails. This system keeps the screen in constant tension so it can be stopped anywhere and the cord will not go across the glass when the screen is retracted.
• Roller screens can be tapered (shaped) on one side or both sides. To install from the top of the window, the top of the screen must be wider than the bottom. If windows are wider at the bottom the screen must be mounted on the bottom of the window frame.
NOTE: The shade film will require a join (seam) across the width for screens which are bigger than 1800 mm in both width and drop.
The bottom of the roller screens are finished with a weighted anodised aluminium bottom bar. Roller screens are available with a spring roller, side chain clutch control or electric operation.
Screens can be mounted top fix, face fix or side fix. All fixings, pulleys and cleats are supplied
Our experienced technical support team can work from drawings supplied if required.
