Solar Screens | Essential Anti-Glare Blinds For The Ship’s Bridge

Solar screens for a ship’s Bridge. Also referred to as ‘Sunsscreens’ for ships, are designed to enhance your visibility, protect your eyes and reduce internal temperatures whilst at sea. Primarily for the bridge area of a ship, Solarglide solar Screens are the first choice for anti-glare protection at sea.

A recent collaboration with Dr Neveen Hamza of Newcastle University has confirmed that Solarglide marine Solar Blinds for windows, can reduce the cooling demand on the bridge by up to 40%, whilst blocking 55% of solar radiation. 

This contributes significantly to reducing overall energy demand on the entire ship, saving HVAC costs of approximately 10% within the wheelhouse area. This makes Bridge Window Screens an essential item for your ship. For information, please see our bridge window solar screens page for more information.

Onboard Straight-line and Pantograph. Essential Products For The Bridge

Solarglide offer four essential onboard wiper options for your Bridge wheelhouse, depending on the vessel and specific window configuration. The options include. – Electric Pantograph / Electric Straight-line / Pneumatic Electric and Pneumatic Straight-Line boat wipers. All wiper systems effectively disperse water from bridge windows and are crucial for safe navigation, enabling officers to maintain constant visual contact with surrounding vessels, navigational hazards and the horizon. In many countries, maritime safety regulations require vessels to incorporate functioning window wipers. These regulations are part of the International Maritime Organization (IMO) conventions and local maritime laws. For a more detailed look at each wiper system please follow these links provided.

Chart Room Curtains. Essential Products For The Ship’s Bridge

Last but not least, the largely overlooked – Chart Room Curtains for a ship’s Bridge. Also referred to as Control Room curtains, play a crucial role in controlling light within a designated area of the bridge wheelhouse. Chart room curtains dim light for chart reading and reduce any glare that may be omitting from electronic displays. Solarglide provide options for ‘one single curtain’ for a complete wrap-around or a ‘split curtain’ that can be drawn with multiple sections. The control room curtains are fully retractable and can be placed in a folding position when not in use, this prolongs the lifespan of the blackout fabric by protecting them from constant sun exposure.  For more information on this particular product, please contact one of our professionals for the best possible solution.
