Honda F1 Team turn to Solarshield for view control

In early 2006, Honda, the world's largest engine manufacturer & international motor racing team, asked Solarshield to supply and fit a view control film at their new Experience Centre in Brackley.

Honda required a view control film that would keep a steady flow of visitor traffic moving past the full-scale wind tunnel project, whilst enhancing and highlighting particular points of interest within the eye-catching display.

Solarshield specified the state-of-the-art Lumisty MFZ-2555 film which changes from transparent to translucent, and visa versa, depending on the angle from which it is viewed. At Honda it provided a clear and unrestricted view at 90° degrees from the glass, but an obscured display when viewed from either side. Consequently this encourages visitors to keep moving and only reveals the exhibits within the display case when viewed “straight on”.

There are four types of view control films for application to glass available, each offering different invisible ranges in the horizontal and vertical direction.

Lumisty is ideal for:

• Drawing attention to products within retail or exhibition displays
• Blocking out unsightly views but highlighting skyline
• Eliminating the fishbowl atmosphere of a glass conference room or workspace
• Providing controlled privacy and security to sensitive areas
• Modesty screening on glazed balustrades, elevated walkways or stairwells
• Logos and signs which appear and disappear as you pass by, lending greater impact corporate messages or logos
