Nestled in the heart of Midtown Atlanta, Lyla Lila is a celebrated Southern European restaurant recognized in the Michelin Guides for its exceptional dining experiences. In June 2024, Chris DeLuca, Owner/Operator of Atlanta’s award-winning All Pro Window Tinting, completed a project at this esteemed establishment, significantly improving both comfort and energy efficiency.
Challenges: Excessive Heat and Achieving Energy Efficiency
“We were having serious heat issues in the front room of our restaurant,” shares Craig Richards, Chef/Owner at Lyla Lila. “It was uncomfortable for the staff and our guests and very problematic.”
Solution: Hüper Optik Drei Window Film
Hüper Optik provides a comprehensive range of glass-focused solutions for both residential and commercial sectors through its Architectural Window Films.
“Given the restaurant’s prime location on Peachtree Street, across from the Fox Theatre, we required a window film that would allow for visibility during the day and night,” DeLuca shares.
To achieve this, DeLuca and his team chose Hüper Optik Drei Window Film, ensuring optimal comfort without compromising the interior’s visibility.
Engineered with nano-technology, Hüper Optik Drei Window Film uses precious metals, silver, and gold, to allow in the maximum amount of light while also rejecting the maximum amount of heat without increasing the visual reflectivity of the glass.
This architectural window film excels in heat rejection, creating more comfortable indoor spaces, and protecting interiors from fading and damage. Its advanced technology ensures long-lasting performance, making it a smart investment for both residential and commercial property owners.
Whether enhancing a home, office, restaurant, or storefront, Hüper Optik Drei Window Film is the perfect choice for adding both style and functionality.
DeLuca expertly installed this solution on every window surrounding the restaurant’s bar, transforming the space into a more comfortable and inviting environment.
“I was aware of this restaurant because it was on my list of places to eat,” DeLuca adds. “I’m proud of what we accomplished. I enjoy doing high-end commercial installations. After the installation, I took my family there to eat. And I have to say — the rack of lamb was absolutely phenomenal.”
The Result: Costs Down, Comfort Up
Months later, Chef/Owner Richards reflected on the impact of Hüper Optik Drei Window Film.
“The window treatments are not only virtually invisible, [but] it has kept that room cool and saved us money on energy costs,” Richards concludes.
