Solving Safety and Security

Glass and glazing in specific locations can need professional treatment to ensure it meets certain safety legislation. Unfortunately, it can also be a security weak point. The Window Film Company can help you address both issues with an application of specialist window film.

Safety Window Film. It is a legal requirement that glass of certain size and in certain locations should meet the safety standard set out in the Building Regulations. An application of safety film by The Window Film Company will ensure that glass meets this safety standard without the need for expensive replacement glass.

Safety window film works by ensuring that if glass does break, it breaks in a safe fashion. This is achieved by holding the glass together in the frame, preventing it from shattering into dangerous, sharp shards and falling in on itself. Safety film is available in different finishes, with the most popular choice a clear, virtually invisible film. The range features different thicknesses and can be applied in conjunction with other window films to deliver additional benefits.

When safety film is installed by our fitting teams, a kitemark will be applied to the glass, indicating that it meets the safety standards required by law.

Security Window Film. Windows are often targeted by intruders as a quick and easy way to gain unlawful access to premises. An application of security film provides an effective barrier. Available in a wide range of finishes and strengths, the film works by providing an additional layer of protection, making the glass harder to break in the event of attack.

If the glass comes under sustained attack security film will greatly increase its ability to withstand it, but it may eventually break. If breakage does occur, safety film provides an added layer of protection by holding the glass together, keeping it in the frame. In doing this, it makes it considerably harder to remove the glass and to gain access to the property.

Security window film is available in different styles, including clear and reflective options. It is also possible to apply security film alongside other window films to address other issues such as privacy or solar control.

Installation. The Window Film Company offers a nationwide installation service, with teams of fully qualified and vastly experienced fitting teams available to deliver a flawless application of film to your premises, whatever the location or size.
