Glass Should Connect You to the Outside, Not Make the Inside Unbearable.

A post-occupancy solution for glare, without replacing the glass. Glare Repair® is applied to the interior surface of qualifying existing windows to turn harsh direct daylight into soft, usable daylight. It is designed for buildings where glare, hot spots, and blinds became a problem after occupancy, but replacing the glass is not the right answer.

It’s time to give glass its job back.

Introducing: The Future of Glazing Retrofits

Watch how Glare Repair® transforms glare-prone daylight into softer, more usable daylight while keeping views clear where they matter most.

The Daylighting Investment That Backfired.

More glass. More daylight. More connection to the outside. It was the right call. Until the complaints started.

Glare makes screens unreadable. Hot spots make workstations unusable. Occupants reach for the blinds and pull them down. Then they stay down and not just when the glare is bad. The glass that was supposed to make the building better is now doing the opposite.

So the “solutions” go up:

Blinds & Shades

Tinted Films

Blinds and shades block the view and defeat the purpose of glass.
Tinted films are a surface-applied plastic treatment. They can darken the space and reduce daylight, and may need replacement as their components age under UV exposure and other site conditions.
Both can reduce usable daylight and increase reliance on electric light, limiting the return on the building’s daylighting investment.

It’s Not a Glass Problem. It’s a Diffusion Problem.

Clear glass transmits light along a direct path. Tinted, acid-etched, and white-laminated glass can reduce transmission or add privacy, but they do not provide the wide-angle, engineered light diffusion of Glare Repair®. Glare Repair® uses the same light-diffusing fibre veils found in Solera® to scatter incoming daylight across the treatment area, helping reduce the bright-dark contrast that causes glare.

Now You Can Fix It Without Starting Over.

The existing glass, frame, and opening stay in place. We review the glazing, orientation, sightlines, and how the space is used, then position the treatment where it can reduce glare while preserving views where they matter. Glare Repair® is not recommended for skylights, tempered glass, or IGUs with moisture issues or leaks.

Before After

For Architects

It’s the answer you give a client who calls six months after occupancy. Glare Repair® closes the loop on a post-occupancy problem without touching the original design intent.

For Glaziers

It’s a retrofit service for qualifying existing windows. No IGU replacement is required, and the existing glass, frame, and opening stay in place. After a site review, it can be a straightforward, billable way to address glare for your clients.

For Building Owners

It’s the fix you’ve been looking for since the blinds went up. Same glass. Same frame. Same opening. For qualifying existing windows, no IGU replacement is required.

Glare Repair® — What You’re Installing

Glare Repair® is a piece of glass incorporating our signature light-diffusing fibre veils, specifically configured to match the visible light transmittance (VLT) needed to manage glare in your space. Every installation is different — the configuration is engineered to your glazing, your orientation, and your occupancy. We offer a complimentary Radiance daylight model to determine the exact configuration your project needs before anything is ordered or installed.

Control Glare Without Losing the View.

The key is placement. Glare Repair® is applied above, beside, or below key sightlines, where direct views are not required, so the treatment can diffuse glare-prone daylight where it causes problems while keeping views clear where they matter.

Reduces contrast between bright and dark areas, softening glare at the source.
Designed to reduce glare and solar hot spots while balancing daylight with visual comfort.
Preserves views where they matter, which can reduce reliance on blinds and shades in glare-prone areas.

Why Not Just Replace the Glass?

For nearly 30 years, Solera® has set the standard for highly insulating, light-diffusing glass. For new construction or a full renovation, it is the purpose-built solution for bringing abundant, usable daylight into a building while addressing glare and solar hot spots at the source.

But full IGU replacement isn’t always the right call. When the existing glass is in good condition and window replacement is not part of the project plan, Glare Repair® is the targeted retrofit for qualifying existing windows. It addresses post-occupancy glare without turning a focused improvement into a full window-replacement project.

We took the same light-diffusing fibre-veil technology used in Solera® and engineered it as an interior glass treatment for qualifying existing windows. No IGU replacement required for qualifying existing windows.

Questions About Fixing Glare in an Existing Window

Can glare in an existing commercial window be reduced without replacing the glass?

Yes. Glare Repair® is a light-diffusing interior glass treatment for qualifying existing insulated glass, used where a direct view through that part of the opening is not required. It helps soften glare without replacing the existing window.

Will it block the view?

Glare Repair® is used above, beside, or below key sightlines, where it can diffuse glare-prone daylight while the views that matter stay clear.

Will it work on every window?

Not every window is a fit. If an uninterrupted view through the full opening must remain, Glare Repair® is not the right fit for that area. It is also not recommended for skylights, tempered glass, or insulated glass units with moisture issues or leaks. We review the existing glazing, orientation, room use, and desired sightlines before recommending a configuration.

Is Glare Repair® window film or secondary glazing?

No. Glare Repair® is not window film, an IGU replacement, or a secondary-glazing system. It adds a light-diffusing interior glass treatment for qualifying existing conditions.

Stop Managing Glare. Fix It.

Whether you’re an architect fielding post-occupancy complaints, a glazier looking to offer a retrofit solution, or a building owner who’s tired of the blinds, Glare Repair® is the targeted retrofit answer for qualifying existing windows where glare has made daylight difficult to use.

Glare Repair may be right for you if…

The existing IGUs are still in good condition, and the project calls for a targeted glare retrofit rather than full IGU replacement.
Acid-etched or frosted glass was already specified, but contrast is still creating a problem in the space.
A targeted retrofit is needed to address glare, preserve the existing window assembly, and avoid expanding a focused improvement into a full window-replacement project.

*Glare Repair® is not recommended for use in skylights, on tempered glass, or on IGUs that have moisture issues or leaks.
