Blinded by low winter sun? Answer use Sun Shield
With the sun lower in the sky in the winter, glare
through external glass within a building is felt more
keenly than in the summer months and can be a
significant problem for staff, especially those using
computer monitors.
Glare is the loss of contrast and a 'washing out' of the
screen image when ambient light is brighter than the
light emitted by the monitor. Lighting conditions in an
office are generally optimized for the reading of paper
documents, meaning high light levels. But a monitor,
perceived by the light it emits, is easier to read in
low light because there is greater contrast with the
light in the room.
Similarly, reflections off the monitor can be annoying
and debilitating. They can obscure the screen image so
much that users need to twist or move uncomfortably to
see what's on the screen, contributing to eye strain and
fatigue (leading to headaches and eye sight problems).
It is important to protect staff from the harmful and
debilitating effects of glare and reflection from low
winter sunshine. A cost-effective solution that really
works is Sun Shield Window Films use of solar control
performance window film, which can reduce glare by up to
94%. These films are optically clear, maintaining
excellent vision through the glass, but will also block
99% of harmful UV light. They can also reject up to 83%
of un-wanted solar gain during the summer months. solar
control performance window films will also assist with
meeting the requirements of the Health & Safety (Display
Screen Equipment) Regulations 1992 which implement
European Directive No: 90/270/EEC.
