Heat-shielding film installation: our in-house competition

For this challenge, we called on five Luminis Films employees. Here are the competitors:

• Alexandre, our experienced professional fitter;
• Alexis, our project manager;
• Amandine, our sales manager;
• Audrey, our sales representative;
• Axel, our developer.

What do they have in common? They're all manual workers, motivated and... a little competitive!

The choice of film used

For this experiment, we opted for an electrostatic anti-heat solar film. Why this choice? Because its electrostatic properties simplify installation:

• No glue needed;
• The film can be repositioned if necessary;
• Suitable even for beginners.

Clearly, this type of film allows stress-free posing, with the possibility of correcting one's gestures if necessary 😃
