Window film supplied and installed in Bahawalpur by Protek Devices, authorized for 3M, TotalGard and Reflectiv since 2000. Heat, safety and privacy film, specified for Bahawalpur's climate.
Bahawalpur sits where cultivated Punjab gives way to the Cholistan desert, and the summer here belongs to the desert rather than the farmland. Glass takes a solar load closer to Multan than to Lahore.
The city has a good deal of institutional property — the university, hospitals, older civic buildings — where large single-glazed windows were never designed with this in mind.
Protek Devices installs 3M, TotalGard and Reflectiv window film in Bahawalpur. Around five hours from Lahore. Survey and installation in one trip. Commercial work starts with an on-site survey; homes are usually filmed in a single visit.
Some of the hottest inhabited ground on earth. Jacobabad passes 50°C most summers and the belt through Sukkur, Larkana, Multan, Bahawalpur and Rahim Yar Khan is not far behind. The heat is dry, relentless, and arrives as direct solar load on every west- and south-facing pane.
This is where the top of the range earns its price. External silver and high-rejection ceramic films, applied to the outside face where the glass allows, stop the energy before it crosses the pane rather than after. A light interior film is not a serious answer to a west facade here.
Thermal stress is a genuine risk at these temperatures, particularly on tinted or toughened glass and on panes that are partly shaded. Which side the film goes on is a survey decision, not a preference.

We work throughout Pakistan, and the portfolio on this site lags the work — no Bahawalpur install is written up yet. We would rather say that than show you someone else's building and imply it was ours.
We fit film throughout the city, including Model Town, Cantt, Satellite Town, Bahawalpur Bypass and Circular Road. Nowhere is off the list; these are simply the areas we are asked for most.
It is a consideration rather than a problem. Large single panes take more thermal stress than small ones, which affects which film goes on and on which face. Old glass in particular is worth surveying properly before anything is applied.
Often not. Above about 45°C the useful move is to stop the energy before it crosses the glass, which means an external silver or high-rejection ceramic film on the outside face where the glazing allows. A light interior film on a west facade here will disappoint you.
Thermal stress is a real risk at these temperatures, particularly on glass that is already tinted or toughened, and on panes that are partly shaded through the day. It is exactly why the survey establishes the glass type and which face the film goes on. Getting that wrong is how panes break.
Tell us what the sun, the street or the security risk is doing to your glass, and we'll tell you which film answers it.
