Window Tinting for an Office on Sonyachna St, 5 in Odesa: How SOLAR R 5-20 EXT Film Cut the Temperature by 5°C

In summer, the glass facades of business centers work like a lens: the sun heats up the interior, screens start to glare, and the air conditioner runs at full capacity without ever quite keeping up. That’s exactly the problem a client at Sonyachna St, 5 in Odesa brought to us — and it’s a good example of how the right solar film can solve the issue in a matter of days.

The problem: heat, bright sun, and glare on the monitors

Working in the office on Sonyachna St, 5 was getting harder every summer: sunlight hit the windows for most of the day, room temperatures noticeably exceeded comfortable levels, and computer screens were constantly catching glare. Management started looking for a solution and, on Google’s recommendation, reached out to VIKNODIM.

Choosing the film: why SOLAR R 5-20 EXT

A specialist visited the site for a consultation, explained the different types of solar protective window films — solar, mirrored, athermal, architectural — and helped choose the right option for these specific windows and the building’s sun exposure. The team settled on SOLAR R 5-20 EXT: a film designed for exterior glazing under heavy solar load, effective at reducing heat gain without over-darkening the room.

Installed within a week — with results that exceeded expectations

Within a week of the consultation, the crew professionally applied the film to the windows. Here’s what the client had to say about the result:

“Within a week, the crew completed a professional installation. The result exceeded expectations: the room temperature dropped by about 5°C, the glare on the computer screens disappeared, and it became far more comfortable to work.”

A five-degree difference is noticeable even without a thermometer: the room stops heating up within hours after sunrise, and the air conditioner runs less often and at lower settings. Another win for the office was the disappearance of monitor glare, which had previously meant either lowering the blinds or squinting through the workday.

Why window tinting makes sense for an office

Unlike replacing glass units or installing blinds, tinting windows with solar film is a fast and relatively inexpensive fix: there’s no need to remove the windows, shut down office operations for long, or change the interior. The film also blocks UV rays that fade furniture and equipment, and some film types add extra impact resistance to the glass.

For buildings with large glazed areas — business centers, showrooms, office floors — this is one of the few ways to meaningfully affect indoor summer temperatures without overhauling the air conditioning system.

Was it worth it

The client on Sonyachna St, 5 got a result that initially sounded too good to be true: a noticeable improvement within a week, with no renovation and no disruption to office work. What surprised even us was how fast the glare complaints stopped — that kind of thing usually takes a while to fade, but here people noticed the difference almost the next day. If your office or building suffers from summer heat, a consultation and film selection is the first step toward solving it before the height of summer.
