Glass still breaks.
It just stays put.
Clear film from 2 to 12 mil that holds a broken pane in its frame instead of letting it fall. Plus anti-graffiti film for surfaces that keep getting tagged.
It holds the glass together
Safety film does not stop glass breaking. It stops broken glass going anywhere — the pane cracks and stays in the frame instead of coming down in pieces. That is a different job from heat control, and it is chosen by thickness and site rather than by shade.
50 µm to 300 µm, specified to the glass and the risk
Clear across the safety range — it does not darken the glass
UV rejection comes along with it
Anti-graffiti and anti-scratch options
Glass worth holding together
Glass at floor level
Full-height windows, sliders and glass doors in homes with children. Older glass that predates modern safety standards is the common case.
Shopfronts
Large panes at street level. Film slows forced entry and keeps a broken window in its frame until it can be replaced.
Surfaces that get tagged
Anti-graffiti film is sacrificial. When it gets tagged or scratched you peel it off and refit, instead of replacing the glass.
Safety film questions
Does it make glass unbreakable?
No, and anyone who tells you otherwise is overselling. The glass still breaks. What changes is that it stays in the frame as a cracked sheet rather than falling as fragments.
Will it darken the windows?
No. The safety range runs at 90% VLT, so it is effectively clear. If you want heat control as well, that is a different film — or a combination we can specify together.
Which thickness do I need?
It depends on the pane size, the glass type and what you are protecting against. That is a site call, not something to pick off a list — we look at the glass first.
How is anti-graffiti film different?
It is meant to be replaced. It takes the tag or the scratch, then comes off and a fresh layer goes on. Much cheaper than replacing a shopfront pane.
