Welcome to the OVAGLAS® newsletter for June! Here’s a look at some of the standout projects we completed this past month and what kept our team busy throughout the month.
June began with a series of installations at a shared office space in Manchester. Where we enhanced privacy and reinforced brand identity by applying frosted window film with precision-cut client logos and branding elements.
Next up, one of our installation teams travelled to a fire station in York to fit frosted window film. The film was applied to enhance privacy for staff while maintaining a clean, professional appearance that complements the building’s existing design
Our next project took us to a stylish location in London, where we fitted Solyx® SX-9050 Ribbed Glass Clear film to a glass door. This elegant, textured film offers subtle privacy while allowing natural light to pass through — the ideal choice for enhancing visual interest without sacrificing openness. See our full range of decorative films here
We also completed a project in Kensington, where we carried out a trial installation of Solar 20 film to an apartment. This reflective window film is designed to significantly reduce heat and glare, helping to create a cooler, more comfortable living environment — especially in sun-exposed spaces. With its sleek appearance and energy-saving benefits, Solar 20 is a smart solution for urban homes looking to enhance comfort without compromising on natural light.
More Solar film next as we completed the installation of Silver 20 reflective film to the external entrance door of an apartment building in Oxford. This high-performance film delivers enhanced daytime privacy by creating a sleek, mirrored appearance from the outside while maintaining clear views from within. Ideal for high-traffic residential entrances, it not only provides added discretion for occupants but also helps reduce solar heat and glare. The result is a more private, comfortable, and visually modern entrance — without sacrificing natural light.
Next up for the team was a project at an office in Glasgow, where we installed Solyx® UltraGreen Reeded Glass film to bring both style and privacy to the workspace. The textured, vertical lines of the reeded design add a sleek architectural touch while subtly obscuring views — making it perfect for meeting rooms and office partitions. This film offers an ideal balance between visual appeal and functionality, allowing natural light to pass through while creating a sophisticated sense of separation and privacy.
June saw thousands more fridge and freezer doors installed with our Clarifoil® Anti-Fog film, with rollout projects across the UK, Europe, and North America.
Clarifoil® is made from a sustainable source, saves energy, and improves the shopping experience by keeping doors clear, even in high humidity months. Our Teams install at night, with minimum disruption to store operations, and have successfully installed Clarifoil on to over 150k Doors to date.

We wrapped up the month with a project at a hospital in Bath, where we installed Opal Frost film across a number of internal glass panels. Frosted films like this are particularly well-suited to medical environments, offering essential privacy for patients and staff while maintaining a bright, open feel. The soft, matte finish provides a clean, professional appearance and helps reduce distractions — making it ideal for consultation rooms, treatment areas, and corridors where both discretion and a calming atmosphere are key.
These are just a few highlights from the many projects our teams delivered throughout June. As enquiries continue to grow, we encourage clients to plan ahead to lock in their preferred installation dates.
From improving privacy and energy efficiency to enhancing comfort and safety, the OVAGLAS® team is ready to help you choose the perfect film solution for your environment.

Welcome to the second OVAGLAS® newsletter, highlighting a selection of the projects we brought to life throughout May, here’s a look at what kept our team busy over the past month.
We kicked off May with a series of installations at shared office spaces in both Leeds and Manchester. These projects focused on enhancing privacy with frosted glazing, while incorporating custom branding and client logos to create a professional, cohesive look throughout the workspaces.
Next up, one of our installation teams headed to Leicester to carry out a vinyl film replacement at a hotel. The new film was carefully selected to match the colour and style of the building’s façade, creating a cleaner, more unified appearance.
Our next project took us to the beautiful Stationers’ Hall in London, where we installed 3M Prestige 70 Solar Film. This high-performance film helps reduce heat and glare while maintaining the building’s historic appearance — a perfect solution for preserving comfort without compromising on aesthetics.
We also completed a project in Bristol featuring the installation of Casper Cloaking Technology. This innovative architectural film is designed to block LED and LCD screens from view when seen from outside a room, while remaining completely transparent to everything else. It’s a powerful solution for meeting rooms, offices, and collaborative spaces — helping prevent visual data breaches without compromising the open, modern feel of glass walls. Click on the image below for more information on Casper.
This installation at a truck stop in Leeming Bar was carried out to provide privacy for a new gym space under development. We applied a silver reflective film that offers one-way visibility — allowing those inside to see out clearly, while preventing passers-by from seeing in. It’s an effective and stylish way to maintain privacy without sacrificing natural light.
Next up for the team was a project with Bulgaro Interiors, who wanted to elevate their showroom in Bexleyheath with a stylish privacy solution. The client chose Solyx® Reeded Glass Film for its elegant look and practical benefits. We installed it in multiple areas throughout the showroom — providing a high level of privacy while still allowing natural light to flow through the space.
Next up was an office installation in Sheffield, where we applied silver etch film in both full-height coverage and 1-metre-deep bands. The goal was to enhance privacy across key areas while incorporating custom logos and branding to maintain a polished, professional look throughout the workspace.
We wrapped up the month with another Solyx® decorative film installation — this time featuring Twilight Black Reeded Glass. Applied to refrigeration units at a hotel in London, the film was chosen to elevate the overall aesthetic, adding a sleek, modern touch while subtly obscuring the contents for a cleaner visual finish.
These are just a handful of the installations our busy teams completed throughout May. With demand on the rise, we recommend booking early to secure your preferred installation dates.
Whether you’re aiming to enhance comfort, boost safety, improve energy efficiency, or increase privacy, the OVAGLAS® team is here to help you find the ideal solution for your space.

Welcome to the very first edition of the OVAGLAS Monthly Newsletter — a quick round-up of the amazing progress, key moments, and exciting updates from the past month. Whether you’re a new customer or someone that has been with for a while, we’re thrilled to have you on this journey with us.
Here’s what we’ve been up to this April:
We began the month with a Silver 20 Solar Film installation at a school in Bradford, significantly reducing solar gain and glare. The result? A more comfortable and productive environment for both students and staff.
In Leeds, one of our teams transformed a shared office space with a combination of Opal and Silver Frost films, alongside bespoke branded graphics—delivering both visual impact and functional privacy.
As spring temperatures began to rise, so did the demand for our commercial solar films. At a care home in Halifax, our installation improved resident comfort by cutting excessive heat and glare, while still allowing natural daylight to fill the space.
In central London, we externally applied Prestige 70 to basement skylights—lowering internal heat levels with minimal change to the appearance of the glazing. A discreet but effective solution for temperature control.
Further north, our team fitted frosted film to en-suite glazing at a hotel in Edinburgh, enhancing guest privacy without compromising on light—an ideal solution for hospitality environments.
Back in London, we completed an internal application of R50 Reflective Silver Film to bifold doors and skylights, significantly reducing heat and increasing thermal comfort in a residential property.
In Slough, we continued with another residential solar installation, applying reflective film to five key glazing panels to manage solar exposure and enhance energy efficiency.
Finally, in Hemel Hempstead, we installed Crystal Etch Frost to a conservatory—meeting the client’s need for complete privacy while preserving a bright, airy feel
These are just a few of the projects delivered by our busy installation teams in April. As demand continues to grow, we encourage early booking to ensure availability.
If you’re looking to improve comfort, safety, energy efficiency, or privacy in your space, our team would be happy to help you find the right OVAGLAS® solution.
