SAFETY WINDOW FILM AT KEBLE COLLEGE

Jan 15 2021

The Window Film Company has completed an extensive installation of clear safety film throughout Keble College, part of the world-famous University of Oxford.

Keble College was founded in 1870 and plays host to 800 students. One of the modern parts of the College features a number of large panes of glass, and The Window Film Company was approached with a requirement for safety film to be applied to 33 of these substantial windows.

Having assessed the requirement, it was agreed that an application of The Window Film Company’s 175 Micron Safety Film would be the most appropriate product to install.

This high-performance safety film is clear in appearance, ensuring that when in place it is virtually undetectable, maintaining a view from both sides of the glass and allowing for an uninterrupted flow of natural light. Once in place, the film upgrades glass to meet safety standards, (safety window film fitted by The Window Film Company means glass will subsequently meet the requirements of BS 6206 and BS EN 12600) providing a clear layer of protection and added security.

In the event of glass breaking, the film works by holding the glass together in the frame, preventing it from shattering into dangerous, sharp shards that could fall away, causing injury or further damage.

While it isn’t its primary function, this safety film also blocks up to 99% of the sun’s potentially harmful UV rays. These are the single biggest contributing factor to fading, so as well as protecting against breakage and injury, an application of this film can also help slow down any damage caused to flooring, furniture or equipment by fading.

The film was applied by a team of The Window Film Company’s fully qualified and vastly experienced fitters, applying the safety film to the internal face of each of the 33 panes.

Once in place, the film provided an immediately effective, invisible layer of protection, ensuring that if any of the panels were to break, they would do so in a safe fashion.
