CSC Window Films & Blinds Ltd is unique in the Heritage Industry being the first company to adopt the National Trust Code of Practice for Collections Conservation in Situ. This document was instigated to ensure companies comply with the standards specified by The National Trust. By adopting this code CSC has recently been awarded an exclusive contract to update all of the properties within The National Trust for Scotland.

CSC Official Supplier to the Royal Household, Solar Control, Blinds & UV Filters

National Trust approved installer and supplier.

For over 40 years John Chamberlain of Chamberlain Solar Controls (CSC) recognised the damage caused by natures elements and found the solution using Polyester Films which filter out at least 99% of the harmful UV, reject infrared heat, reduce the visible light transmission and still leave a pleasantly lit living or display environment.

CSC film is used extensively in Heritage properties, Museums and Art Galleries.

CSC has concentrated on looking at new products and discovered spectrally selective films which can reduce Infrared rays as well as Ultraviolet which combined cause chemical deterioration. This range of films also can reduce heat loss, something that came along as an added bonus for people in heritage properties.

From the outset we found CSC Window Films a pleasure to work with. They were speedy to come to Hughenden and measure and provide a competitive quote for the required works. The fitters were punctual and efficient. With all the winter tasks that need to be done in a Mansion House in a very little time, it was a pleasure to be able to trust the fitters to get on without being supervised all the time. They completed the works within budget and would on seek advice if they came across an unforeseen problems. They completed the works within budget and within the time frame they had said. They were trusted with the Mansion keys and lone working among the collection which is vital to me as a house manager. I would recommend them unreservedly and indeed employ them again in the future as their post fitting customer care is very good.!

Nicholas Witherick The National Trust

Many thanks for the work your firm has done in applying your special window films to all those windows in my house. I am delighted with the workmanship – the film is virtually invisible to the casual observer. I can only determine which windows have been done by applying a fingernail to the very edge of the window frame to feel the difference in a surface level on the glass. Considering some of the windows in this house are quite old glass also the frames are thin and not always that straight, I thought they had done remarkably well. I would also like to compliment you on the speed and efficiency of your workmen. They were a pleasure to have working in the house, and extremely tidy with the equipment they were working with and very good at cleaning up after themselves when they had finished. I would have no hesitation in recommending you to anyone with a similar problem.

I have used Jed Southgate of CSC Window Films for quite a few years now. His company provides an outstanding service in protecting our furniture and fabrics from the harsh sunlight which can do untold damage to both furniture and materials. The service he provides by covering the panes of window glass is totally undetected and hence leaves his customers with a clear conscience that they are doing their upmost to protect their property from the harsh rays of sunlight. I whole heartedly recommend CSC Window Films to my own clients. All my clients have been full of praise for Jed and his company and I wish them well.
