The Window Film Company revamped the training facility of World’s Strongest Man competitors, Luke and Tom Stoltman, with a range of branded display graphics
The Window Film Company has completed an installation at the purpose-built facility of World’s Strongest Man competitors, Luke and Tom Stoltman.
Tom Stoltman is currently competing in the 2026 World's Strongest Man competition in California and is eyeing his fourth World Strongest Man title. His training for this has taken place at the custom-built Stoltman Strength Centre in Invergordon, Scotland.
The facility is the professional home of the Stoltman Brothers, and serves as both their training base and a space for athletes of all levels to develop their strength and conditioning. The building boasts an eye-catching appearance, with glass frontage and a modern design.
However, large areas of glazing can create practical challenges including glare, heat build-up, and video filming difficulties – particularly in a facility regularly used by the brothers for visual content creation.
The Window Film Company, which specialises in high performance window film, bespoke graphics, and signage solutions throughout the UK, was appointed to deliver a solution that delivered optimum training conditions while also maintaining the facility’s high-performance aesthetic.
To address glare and heat, Optiview dual reflective window film was installed across the main glazed frontage. The film can reduce glare by up to 86% while maintaining natural light and outward views.
The dual reflective technology provides a mirrored external finish while maintaining a more neutral internal appearance. This was beneficial for filming and content creation, ensuring cameras and lighting could operate effectively within the space.
The film can also reduce excess heat by up to 80%, helping to maintain a moderate internal temperature year-round and deliver the best possible conditions in which to train.
To add a bespoke statement to the front of the centre, a large Stoltman "S" logo was precision cut using Amber 81 window film and applied across multiple glass panes with the aim of creating a bold visual feature.
To maximise vibrancy, the Amber 81 film was applied before the Optiview film. This technique provides a backing to the Amber film to increase brightness and visibility, ensuring the branding can stand out from both inside and outside the building.
Additional branding was also applied to a large storage container, extending the Stoltman identity across the entire site.
