The Alexela Loo gas station received solar control films because the sun, which shone into the space for long periods, raised the indoor temperature. In addition to its functionality, the film was also chosen based on its appearance, to match the bluish undertone of the glass and not alter the facade's look.
The need for sun protection films at the Alexela Loo gas station arose primarily on days when the sun shone into the room for a long time, raising the indoor temperature unpleasantly high. To reduce this effect, sun protection films were installed on the windows to maintain a more even and pleasant indoor climate.
The specific solar control film was chosen considering its appearance in addition to its functionality. For the already bluish-tinted windows, a slightly bluish transparent film was chosen so that the facade's appearance would not change. The client for the work was Alexela Group AS.
