<\/p>\nThe \u00a32m refurbishment of the Obel property complex is set to continue with the installation of a high performance solar control window film which will significantly enhance the comfort of the building occupants.<\/p>\n
Work has already started on this latest upgrade to the building, which will be extended to all 27 floors. The work will dramatically improve the exterior aesthetics of Ireland\u2019s tallest building, whilst ensuring privacy for residents and offering major energy savings all year round.<\/p>\n
The solar window film is being installed by Solartek Films Ltd, a Hertfordshire-based specialist company which has carried out similar projects on some of the most iconic buildings in the UK, such as Lords, Harrods and the BBC to name just a few.<\/p>\n
The new window film has been installed on the first three floors, with all floors due to be completed before autumn. The window film installation is the latest part of the ongoing refurbishment programme which was announced earlier this year by Lisney, the appointed asset manager for Obel.<\/p>\n

Significant enhancement works have been carried out to the apartment\u2019s internal finishes, as well as to the lifts, lobbies and reception areas, and the new solar window film will elevate the complex to another level again. \u201cWe want to ensure that every supplier involved in the refurbishment of the Obel is an expert in the field and, having worked with Harrods, there\u2019s no doubting Solartek\u2019s first-class pedigree. We look forward to seeing the finished product.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cThe rebirth of the Obel is continuing at pace thanks to the internal enhancement works carried out to the one, two and three-bedroom apartments, as well as the Duplex and Penthouse Suites.<\/p>\n \u201cThe installation of the solar window film is the next stage of the exciting plans we have which are not only hugely increasing the significant living experience for residents, but also ensuring that Ireland\u2019s tallest building is one which the people of Belfast can take great pride in.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The \u00a32m refurbishment of the Obel property complex is set to continue with the installation of a high performance solar control window film which will significantly enhance the comfort of the building occupants.
