The Woodmont Country Club
Problem
In 2000, Woodmont Golf and Country
Club of Canton was voted “Best
New Course in Georgia”
by Golf Magazine. The clubhouse,
built by John Wieland Communities,
is the focal point for this
golf course community and overlooks
the well manicured greens and
fairways. The problem facing
the property management team
was the amount of heat and glare
from the sun coming through
the clubhouse windows. Each
day, a good portion of the clubhouse
was getting an enormous amount
of heat and sunlight through
the giant windows overlooking
the practice range making much
of the clubhouse unusable. The
management team did not want
to cover the windows because
of the view, but something needed
to be done. John Wieland Communities
called on 3M
and Window Expert, Inc., Inc.
to solve their problem.
Solution
The goals laid out by the management
team at Woodmont were simple.
Maintain the view. Cut down
on the heat coming through the
windows. Create a more comfortable
environment. Protect the furnishings
from fading. Window Expert,
Inc., Inc. installed samples
to choose from and made the
recommendation to install RE35NEARL,
3M’s
most popular sun control window
film. This 3M
film has a soft, neutral, non-reflective
look, blocks out 99% of the
UV light, and rejects up to
30% of the heat coming through
the glass. Also, the large insulated
glass units are now insured
by 3M
for glass breakage and seal
failure. In December of 2001,
the installation of 3000 square
feet of RE35NEARL solar film
was completed by Window Expert,
Inc. Inc.’s installation
team.
Results
View maintained. Fabrics and
carpets saved from premature
bleaching. A busier, more profitable
clubhouse.
The Window Expert, Inc. Difference
This multi-million dollar facility
demanded the best professionals
in the industry. Window Expert,
Inc., Inc. thoroughly explained
all the options available to
Woodmont’s management and
guided them to the correct solution.
Says Chris Sullivan, Window
Expert, Inc., Inc’s project
manager and top golfer, “Each
time I go to Woodmont to play,
I know how much of a difference
our service meant to the property.
I think it helps my golf score
as a result.”
