Tint
Options
Marlon ST Longlife is available in a wide range of colours including
clear, opal, bronze, blue, green, grey and heat guard. Dual tint
sheets are also available in heat guard opal and bronze opal. The
choice of colour ultimately depends on the end result required.
Clear is used where maximisation of light is required. In order
to take advantage of the heat build-up generated by the high level
of light transmission clear is a popular option in colder climates.
It is an ideal product for use in industrial and commercial greenhouses.
In hot climates other tint options, such as bronze, blue, green
or heat guard, are more effective in limiting the amount of light
and minimising glare. Where diffusion of light is required opal
is the optimum choice. Opal prevents the sunlight from concentrating
on one area, therefore eliminating hot-spots while allowing light
into the building to keep it bright. It is a preferred option in
supermarkets where it creates a soft light quality considered by
many to enhance the retail environment.
