How is this film applied on glass?
The film is ideally applied in the factory during the fabrication of IGUs using an application machine.
Walco's VX2 vertical application machine allows Novacel range to be applied to both sides of the glazing with a free margin all around to allow the joinery to be assembled without trapping the film inside.
The machine adapts to all sizes of IGU, avoiding film wastage.

A real estate developer recommends coating window unit system with a film
In an exclusive interview, Director of Operations at ARC Group, shares its tips.
He explains how a film-coated window unit system helps him meet delivery deadlines for its sites.
In a program called “Coeur Ocean” Arc Group utilized the film-coated window unit system developed in partnership between Glassolutions and Novacel.
Game-Changing Technology
An innovative approach which involves applying a protective film in the factory, which is removed just before the final cleaning, ensures that the windows arrive in pristine condition. "A dirty window is a window that needs to be cleaned; a scratched window is a window that needs to be replaced." Didier points out.
This system protects the windows during construction and provides financial benefits to partners by reducing the need for replacements.
Advantages On-Site
According to Didier, the film-coated windows allow maximum light transmission on-site, which does not hinder ongoing trade work. "For me as a developer, it guarantees that I have a high-quality frame at delivery and helps me secure lead times for my clients" he added.
Economic and Ecological Optimizations
Didier also highlights the economic and ecological advantages of using Glassolutions film across all projects. "A window that isn't scratched and doesn't need to be changed leads to energy savings" he noted. This approach streamlines the construction process and aligns with current environmental challenges, reducing waste associated with replacing broken materials.
