Description –
Tintfit was contacted by the area manager of JD Sports. They were having issues with the heat inside their new flagship store on Northumberland Street in Newcastle Upon Tyne. They also expressed their concern over the fading of clothes on the display mannequins as they were in direct sunlight.

After assessing the building and having a number of meetings it was decided that due to accessibility inside the store it was not possible to apply the film internally. Tintfit recommended an External Spectra 78 Prestige window film (a extremely light tint with high heat rejection and the ability to block over 99% of UV light). Once fitted this film is virtually invisible and would therefore not change the appearance of the store or prevent customers from viewing the stores displays.

The area manager approved Tintfit’s recommendation and External Spectra 78 Prestige film was applied to 16 very large panes measuring approximately 148m2.

The client was so pleased with the results that we have since applied this film to another 5 stores in the area.
