Anti Glare Screens
SOLASAFE® transparent anti glare roller sunscreens / blinds are housed in an anodised aluminium cassette for maximum performance and protection.
For any marine vessel
The SOLASAFE® brand was the world’s first Type Approved marine solar screen by ABS and DNV.
The screens are ideal for windows where flexible light transmittance is required and where permanent application of adhesive window film is not allowed.
The ‘wipe clean’ brush system inside the aluminium cassette ensures that any dirt and dust collected during operation is removed when the screen is retracted. All screens come complete with aluminium bottom rail and optional side channels or guide cables.
Benefits of SOLASAFE® sunscreens include:
- Improved visibility and safety − optimal glare protection with up to a 93% reduction to ensure clear visibility and a safer working environment. True colour rendition so navigation marks and objects can be easily identified.
- Reduced eye strain − problems with glare and reflection on electronic charts, radar screens and control panels are eliminated.
- Create a more comfortable working environment and reduce air conditioning requirements − up to 87% of the sun’s heat is rejected so staff, operators and controllers are more alert.
- Protect exposed areas of the body − at least 98% of harmful UV light is filtered.
- Save fuel, save money and reduce CO2 emissions on board marine vessels − Less demand is placed on bridge air-conditioning systems which require additional fuel consumption to run so environmentally conscious fleet owners can benefit from fuel savings resulting in lower costs.
- Be Green − Up to 81% in power cost savings per year can be made for larger vessels.
- Reliable performance − proven track record for outstanding performance since 1987.

AC or DC Electrical Operation
AC or DC Electrical Operation - Electric by remote control, group control and ⁄ or local individual control − ideal for blinds that are difficult to access. Low-voltage (LOVO-24V D.C) is available for smaller sized roller blinds. High voltage (HIVO-230V A.C, 50Hz or 60Hz) is available over the full range of roller blind sizes.
Choice of Films
Because of their highly reflective outer surfaces GOLD and SILVER are the most effective solar films. If a reflective appearance is not desired we recommend GREY film as the next best option.
