Window film supplied and installed in Gujrat by Protek Devices, authorized for 3M, TotalGard and Reflectiv since 2000. Heat, safety and privacy film, specified for Gujrat's climate.
Gujrat manufactures furniture and electric fans, and sells a great deal of both from roadside showrooms with full-height display glazing facing the sun.
Display glass is a specific problem: it has to stay clear for the goods behind it, while the ultraviolet coming through is bleaching those goods all day. A clear high-UV film answers both without dulling the display.
Protek Devices installs 3M, TotalGard and Reflectiv window film in Gujrat. Around two hours north of Lahore, past Gujranwala. Commercial work starts with an on-site survey; homes are usually filmed in a single visit.
Long hot summers into the mid-forties, a monsoon that arrives in July, and winters that bring fog and smog rather than real cold. Glass here does the hardest work in May and June, then spends December behind a grey sky.
The balanced middle of the range: enough rejection for a Punjabi June without darkening rooms that will want every scrap of light in a foggy January. Spectrally-selective and ceramic films suit this better than reflective ones, which look their worst under a flat winter sky.
Around two hours north of Lahore, past Gujranwala.
We work throughout Pakistan, and the portfolio on this site lags the work — no Gujrat 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 GT Road, Civil Lines, Kutchery Chowk and Small Industrial Estate. Nowhere is off the list; these are simply the areas we are asked for most.
It slows it substantially. Ultraviolet drives roughly forty per cent of fade damage and the films we fit block ninety-nine per cent of it, but visible light and heat cause the rest, so nothing stops fading entirely. For display glass a clear UV film is the sensible move because it protects without dimming what is on show.
It can, if the wrong one is chosen. Central Punjab spends December under fog and a flat grey sky, and a dark reflective film that felt clever in June is miserable in January. We usually specify spectrally-selective or ceramic film here, which rejects heat while holding on to visible light.
Any time, though spring is ideal because the adhesive cures fastest in mild dry weather and the film is in place before the worst of the summer. Monsoon installs are fine; the glass simply takes a little longer to clear.
