Solar control window film in Coventry

Coventry's commercial building stock spans a wide range of eras. The city centre CV1 contains a mix of post-war reconstruction buildings from the 1950s and 1960s, 1970s office blocks with large single-glazed or early double-glazed facades, and newer Grade A office developments and retail units around West Orchards and the ring road. All three generations of glazing present solar overheating issues on south and west-facing elevations during the spring and summer months.

Coventry University's CV1 city centre campus — one of the UK's most concentrated urban university estates — has undergone rapid expansion over the past decade. Modern glazed teaching and faculty buildings on Priory Street, Gosford Street and Jordan Well generate significant solar heat gain in south-facing lecture theatres, design studios and open-plan student spaces. FM contractors and university estates teams working on the Coventry University estate typically schedule solar film installation during summer vacation.

The University of Warwick's campus at Canley CV4, 3 miles south-west of the city centre, is a large out-of-town campus with a mix of 1960s to 1980s faculty buildings and newer additions. The campus has significant quantities of south-facing student accommodation, lecture theatres and research buildings where solar control film provides the most cost-effective overheating remedy.

Business parks on the Coventry ring road and out-of-town corridors — Arena Business Park CV6, Westwood Business Park CV4, Middlemarch Business Park CV3 and the A45 and A46 commercial corridors — contain modern open-plan office buildings where south and west-facing elevations overheat significantly. These buildings are the primary commercial target for solar film specification in the Coventry market.
