Types of Film Available
Solar Control Film
Reduces heat gain by up to 79%. Eliminates up to 90% of the glare. Save up to 35% of winter heat loss by creating a Low 'E' surface. There are many different types of film in various colours and shades; some non-reflective, some highly reflective, some are virtually un-noticeable. Tinted window films also improve the appearance of your building dramatically, improving staff morale and raising your profile. Use of space becomes more efficient as hot spots or cold spots are eliminated. Heating and cooling costs, as well as the efficiency, are improved.
Safety is a prime concern where young, infirm or disabled people are concerned. These films hold glass together in the event of breakage thereby preventing serious injury. The Health and Safety Executive have issued regulations regarding the safety of glass [Document L24 - Regulation 14 - Workplace Health, Safety and Welfare 1992] which affects all glass in 'critical locations' and compliance is mandatory. Safety film satisfies this requirement by surpassing BS6206 Classes A, B and C as well as the European standard 'Cen12600'
Unfortunately bomb explosions are a real and terrifying possibility in today’s cities. Flying glass within the vicinity is often the cause of major injury. Bomb-blast protective film absorbs the high pressures involved holding the dangerous shards together. There are many grades of film available depending upon the risk. These films can be combined with a 'frame anchorage' system.
Glass is the weakest part of a building and is vulnerable to terrorists, vandals and burglars. A range of security films resists impact, forming an invisible barrier to prevent unwanted intrusion. Security films can be combined with solar and glare reducing properties if desired.
Anti-Graffiti Film
Vandalism and graffiti on shops and buildings can be a recurring problem. This film is a transparent sacrificial barrier which is invisible and is applied with a low tack adhesive to the exterior. It can then be removed and replaced if vandalism occurs.
Exposure to direct sunlight can cause damage to furnishings, floors, stock, coloured or painted materials including works of art. Fading is caused by a combination of ultra-violet light, visible light and infra-red radiation. Indoor lighting, humidity and dye anchorage systems also have a part to play. A range of fade protection window films filters out more than 98% of harmful UV radiation and greatly reduce the infrared radiation with little or no loss of light.
When you need the light but not the prying eyes, privacy window films are the answer. From acid etched appearance to one-way mirror to solid colour there is a film for all situations. This range of films is particularly useful in office environments where glass partitioning is used.
