The Ruby Tuesday Restaurant of
Branson Missouri designed five feet
by five feet glass windows to bring
light, views and an outdoor
ambiance to the restaurant.
However, intense glare, heat and
reflections off parked automobiles
made dining uncomfortable and at
times next to impossible.
Fabric shades were installed but
darkened the dining area and were a
constant source of problems to the staff,
who had to raise and lower them
according to the position of the sun and
the requests of the customers.
After considerable research, manager,
Kevin O’Connell consulted with a Vista
dealer who recommended the installation
of CPFilms’ new line of hi-tech solar
control window films — VISTA®.
VISTA Window Film is a laminate of
polyester and metallized coatings.
The
film is constructed with an exclusive, clear,
distortion free adhesive system and a
special scratch-free face coating that
allows for easy maintenance. The specific
film selected was VISTA “Dayview”, a
neutral film that when installed is virtually
invisible from both sides of the window.
The film carries a ten year warranty for
materials and labor.
VISTA cut the glare and heat to the point
that dining was truly in a comfortable
and trouble-free environment without
shades.
Furthermore, the VISTA film
eliminated 99% of harmful ultraviolet
radiation thereby helping to protect
the restaurant interior from fading.
When the filming was completed, Mr.
O’Connell said, “
Our customers, who
could not detect the VISTA Window
Film, asked what we had done to
create such a light and cheery interior.
I explained that we just entered the
twenty-first century and added hi-tech
solar control window film throughout!”
The window filming of the Ruby Tuesday
Restaurant in Branson has been such a
success the company has installed solar
protection film at all of its eight locations
in Missouri, and there are over 400 Ruby
Tuesday Restaurants throughout the
United States.
