Window Films

Window Films
What are Window Films?
They are films that are made with layers of polyester film bonded by special adhesives and easily applied to the interior of new glass, existing glass, any smooth or flat surfaces. Window Films have multi uses and have been protecting residential and commercial buildings for decades.  They also offer a wide variety of solutions for specialized applications that include architecture, industrial design, information technology, defence, aerospace, automotive, agricultural, energy conservation and reprographics.
How can they be used?

Solar / Glare Control: Save energy and money by blocking harmful UV rays.  Use the “Energy Saving Reflective Films” which feature reflectance on both interior and exterior surfaces for reduction in summer cooling costs and heat retention in the winter. 

Privacy Control: Address the need to add daytime or 24 hour privacy to your home or office by making use of the “Privacy Films”. 

Decoration: Using “Decorative Films” provide a rainbow of colour options to enhance any building design.  They are subtle, stylish, add an effective level of privacy, and glare reduction to any flat glass application. 
Protection/ Security
Anti – Graffitti: Protective uses of a special class of films now known as "Graffiti Films." These films are designed to serve as a cost-effective, sacrificial surface to mitigate damage from graffiti vandalism, accidental abrasion, and wear from repetitive motion. 
Glass Protection: Safety and security films provide a safety factor when applied to glass.  Whether it’s an intruder trying to break in, a weather problem or a household accident the safety and security films can dramatically reduce personal injury and protect property.
