The Window Film Company is proud to have completed an extensive installation of safety film throughout the Hilton hotel in Islington, London.
By applying clear safety film to shower screens in bedrooms throughout the hotel, The Window Film Company has delivered an extra layer of safety and peace of mind.
Requirement
The Hilton Hotel in Islington is a popular venue for tourists and visitors to the nearby Islington Design Centre. As a busy venue, safety is paramount, and The Window Film Company was engaged to ensure that the glass shower screens in the en-suite bathrooms throughout the hotel were as tough, durable, and safe as possible.
As with shower screens, the glass was already toughened and met all safety regulations and requirements. However, on this occasion the hotel decided to take extra precautions and add window film to provide an additional layer of protection. The Window Film Company was contacted for the appropriate solution.
Solution
Following discussions with the project managers at the hotel, it was agreed that 175 Micron safety film would be applied to both sides of the shower screens in 122 of the hotel’s bedrooms. The product is a clear window film that, when applied, is virtually invisible to the naked eye, providing an added layer of protection and safety.
The film’s primary function is to ensure that, in the event of accidental or malicious breakage, it breaks in as safely as possible. This is achieved by holding broken glass in place within the frame, rather than allowing it to form dangerous, sharp shards that fall inward and could cause damage or injury.
The film was installed by a team of The Window Film Company’s fully qualified fitters, with the film applied to both sides of the glass.
Result
With the film in place, the shower screens' appearance remained unchanged, providing an additional layer of invisible protection against breakage, damage, and injury. Each shower screen was fitted with a kite mark to certify the installation.
The film, while undetectable, provided both the hotel and its future guests with an added layer of protection and long-lasting peace of mind.
