Windows play a crucial role in the design and function of buildings. However, untreated windows can compromise security and energy efficiency. Films provide an effective solution for addressing these issues while maintaining the aesthetic and light transmission benefits of glass.

Security and Safety Films

One of the primary uses of window films is to strengthen glass against break-ins and impacts. Security films bonded to the interior of glass significantly increase its mechanical strength. In the event of attempted break-in or accidental impact, the film holds shattered glass fragments in place, preventing injury. This allows property owners and tenants to feel safer while maintaining views. Some security films even meet forced-entry and ballistic standards for high-security applications.

Solar Control and Low-E Films

Another key benefit of films is blocking excessive heat gain through windows. Solar control and low-emissivity (low-E) films reject infrared and ultraviolet rays from the sun before they enter the building. This significantly reduces solar heat load on cooling systems and interior spaces. Low-E films further enhance insulation by preventing inward radiation of interior heat. Various performance grades are available to suit a building's climate and orientation. Films provide solar control at a fraction of the cost of new window upgrades or replacements.

Glass Protection and Film Durability

Windows Films guard glass surfaces from scratches, abrasions, graffiti and cleaning chemicals. The durable films resist wear and weathering for years with little maintenance. Should glass breakage occur beneath protected film, the dangerous shards remain adhered for safe removal. Multi-layered films even reject 98% of outdoor noise for an added insulation benefit. With a lifespan of 10-15 years, films deliver high performance over the long-term in all climate conditions.

Graffiti and Vandalism Prevention

Graffiti poses cleaning challenges and costs for property owners and municipalities. Vandals are less inclined to tag surfaces that can’t be easily cleaned. Graffiti-resistant window films prevent markers, paints and other materials from adhering to glass—instead allowing easy removal without chemicals. The protected glass maintains its clear appearance over time, requiring minimal maintenance. Various textures are available to suit an area’s graffiti risk level.
