Serving courthouses, municipal offices, and public buildings in Gladwyne with security, blast-mitigation, solar, and privacy window film.

Gladwyne, Montgomery County

Why Gladwyne public-sector teams choose Sun Control Specialists.

Sun Control Specialists installs government and municipal window film throughout Gladwyne and Montgomery County. We work with facilities managers and procurement teams on courthouses, municipal offices, and public-safety buildings: security and blast-mitigation film for exposed entry glass, one-way privacy film for sensitive rooms, and solar film to control the energy cost of buildings that never close. All work is documented to fit public bid and procurement processes.

Gladwyne properties are the largest we film, period. We have done jobs with window elevations that exceed most homes' total square footage. Security film, solar film, decorative treatments on interior partition glass — Gladwyne uses all of it on the same property. The market here is referral-driven by trade: architects, interior designers, and experienced custom builders send us in because the architectural intent demands an installer who has done this scale of work before. Our typical Gladwyne project starts with a walk-through with the homeowner and the architect together. The conversation centers on which film line preserves the architectural intent of the glass package while solving for the specific concern, whether that is heat, UV protection of irreplaceable interior finishes, or perimeter security on a property where the alarm system has six minutes of wired hold-out.

What makes Gladwyne different
  1. 01 Largest single-property installs in our service area — jobs regularly exceed 3,000 sq ft of glass
  2. 02 The Gregorian residence: 39,000 sq ft property we fully filmed for security
  3. 03 A market built almost entirely on referral and reputation — no large incumbent competitor
  4. 04 Frequent architect-led specifications and historic preservation considerations
  5. 05 Lower Merion Township architectural review limits exterior modifications

Why choose us

What you get with Sun Control Specialists.

Hardens public entrances

Security film keeps shattered glass in the frame so a forced-entry attempt is slowed, protecting staff and the public at the most exposed points of the building.

Reduces blast hazard

Blast-mitigation film holds glass together under a pressure event, cutting the flying-glass injuries that cause most of the harm in such incidents.

Privacy where it matters

One-way and frosted film obscures sightlines into hearing rooms, records areas, and sensitive offices without giving up natural light.

Lower operating cost

Solar film reduces cooling load on continuously occupied public buildings, with documented savings for facilities and sustainability reporting.

Procurement-ready paperwork

We provide line-item specs, ASTM and product test data, and certificates in a format that fits public bid, RFP, and procurement requirements.

Minimal public disruption

Work is phased around public hours and security needs so service windows and access points stay open.

Notable Gladwyne work

"The Gregorian residence — a 39,000 sq ft Gladwyne property where we installed a full SolarGard Armorcoat security film package across every ground-floor and side-elevation pane. Owner is a charter school operator; the brief was perimeter delay-of-entry without changing any visible architecture."

Gladwyne questions

Frequently asked.

Do you serve government buildings in Gladwyne?
Yes. Gladwyne is within our regular service area. Sun Control Specialists has served municipal and public-sector clients throughout Gladwyne and Montgomery County for over 27 years. Call (215) 272-6999 or request an estimate online.
What does blast-mitigation film actually do?
In most blast and pressure events the injuries come from flying glass, not the blast itself. Blast-mitigation film holds the broken glass together and keeps it attached to the frame or the film, so the shards do not spray across the room. It reduces the hazard; it is not a structural or ballistic barrier, and we will spec it honestly against your actual risk.
Can you meet procurement and bid requirements?
Yes. We provide line-item specifications, ASTM and manufacturer test data, square footage, and installation certificates formatted to drop straight into a public bid, RFP, or procurement file. We are used to working inside government purchasing processes.
Can film add privacy to sensitive rooms?
Yes. One-way and frosted film obscures sightlines into hearing rooms, records areas, and sensitive offices while keeping the daylight. We match the privacy level and finish to each room rather than darkening the whole building.
Will the work disrupt public access in Gladwyne?
We minimize it. Work is phased around public hours and security requirements so access points and service windows stay open and the building keeps operating. Entry-glass hardening is usually the quickest portion of the job.
Does solar film help on a public building?
Yes. Courthouses and municipal offices are occupied and air-conditioned all day, so solar heat gain is a real and ongoing cost. Solar film cuts that load, and we provide performance data for facilities and sustainability reporting.
