Ready for the new season: how Zweko Optics refurbishes windows in temporary structures with full-service support

As festival season, trade shows, and large outdoor events approach, organisers and rental companies can’t afford to cut corners. Temporary structures like event tents, demountable halls, and pavilions need to be more than just functional and safe. They also need to look clean, modern, and professional.

Windows play a bigger role in this than many people think. They bring in light, create an open feel, and give the structure a polished look. But after years of exposure to weather, transport, and repeated installation, polycarbonate windows can become scratched, dull, or even cracked.

Helping a long-time client prepare for the busy season

That’s exactly what happened to one of our trusted clients, a company specialised in temporary event structures. Their aluminium frameworks were still in great shape, but the windows had clearly seen better days. Together, we tackled the entire renovation from A to Z, so they’re now fully prepared for a packed season of events.

One partner, one point of contact: total peace of mind

At Zweko Optics, we believe replacing or upgrading windows shouldn’t be a hassle. That’s why we manage the process entirely in-house, coordinating every step and making life easier for our customers. Here’s how we work:

1. New, high-quality polycarbonate windows with premium coatings

We start by producing new polycarbonate panels, coated in-house with our ViewTec hardcoat. This advanced coating is scratch-resistant, chemical-resistant, and easy to clean, ensuring years of clear visibility, even under heavy use.

2. Fully customised and ready-to-install

Every window is cut to size, with top and bottom strips already applied. That means each panel fits perfectly into the existing aluminium frame. This is to make sure no on-site improvisation is needed.

3. Professional removal and installation

We carefully dismantle the old panels without damaging the frame and replace them with the new coated windows. The result? A refreshed structure that looks like new and performs even better.

4. Smart planning to minimise downtime

We plan the work around the client’s event schedule, so the structure is offline for as little time as possible. That means fewer disruptions and lower costs.

Why polycarbonate instead of glass?

Polycarbonate is the smart choice for temporary buildings and tent structures. Compared to glass, it offers clear advantages:

• Up to 250 times stronger than glass and virtually unbreakable. Ideal for transport, assembly, and disassembly.
  
• Lighter than glass, which makes handling and installation easier and faster.
  
• With our coating, the surface stays clear, scratch-resistant, and easy to maintain, extending the lifespan of your investment.
