Solarglide Solve China Solar Glare Problem

Solar Screen For Ships

The Beginning: Solarglide recently returned back from a trip to the far east. We were sent out to fit 75 blinds onto a new build cruise vessel. Solarglide provide professional and efficient installations if needed by our clients.

After a total of 14 hours, 4 flights and a lot of airport time, we finally arrived at our destination. At a cool 28 degrees the weather was hot and humid. After checking into our hotel which was around 45 minutes away from the airport, we decided to venture around the local area and see what China was all about.

Along the seafront behind the hotel we encountered a number of beautifully conserved gardens, these were also filled with a vast array of interesting statues ranging from a pack of elephants to a couple holding hands. The art and decorations around the area were beautiful, they really brought the area to life.

On the Yard:

After getting settled into our new surroundings it was time to get down to work. After a short ( whilst frightening ) taxi ride to the shipyard we arrived to help with work. The workers on the yard were very welcoming, the sheer amount of vessels on the yard was breath taking.

In total we were on the yard for 4 days, long working hours and hot conditions gave us a real challenge to get the blinds up and ready in time. Looking back I remember on one occasion how suprised we were when fireworks started being launched off on the yard. Culturally this was to celebrate part of the ship being completed, Ill admit we did get a bit of a fright!.

Loading the blinds onto the ship required a trip onto the boat in the dark. Pitch black with our torches in hand we carried the 36 boxes across the gangway which lead onto the vessel. We managed to get everything onto the vessel safe and sound thanks to continuous support from the shipyard.

Products and fitting:

We fitted SG Glider and SG Silhouette to the vessel. SG Glider can benfit all crew and passengers onboard by reducing the glare by up to 93% virtually eliminating UV Radiation. Furthermore heat reduction leads to a more comfortable bridge environment, thus increasing crew productivity.

The second kind of blind we fitted was the SG Silhouette. SG Silhouette is a semi light transmitting shade solution. Unlike Blackout screens, they allow some light through the window, so the interior stays moderatly light, espeically at times of bright sunshine. The offer crew and passenger moderate privacy and shelter; creating the perfect shaded solution for napping,sleeping or relaxation.

All In All:

With the job completed we decided to head back home to the UK. China had been an amazing experience, a one that I and the company will cherish for years to come. It opened our eyes to new cultures, new places and most of all New adventures.
