What is glass safety film?

Safety window film is a self adhesive polyester film which allows you to laminate your own glass on windows and doors for added protection and safety. Safety film is thicker than normal window film and is designed to hold broken glass together in case of accidental breakage, for added glass protection in your home or business. The safety window film is completely clear and therefore doesn’t affect the appearance or the view through the glass. Once the film is applied to a glass window or glass door, curing time is around 24h depending on the external temperature.

Where can safety film be used?

Glass protection window film is mostly used on windows and glazed doors, but can also be used on glass table tops, cabinet doors, or any glazed areas in critical areas. Safety film is widely used to upgrade existing glass to meet health and safety standards in public buildings like schools and hospitals, offices and business premises (Regulation 14 of the Workplace Regulations 1992). Applying safety window film is much more cost effective than replacing the glass in your windows and doors with tempered or toughened glass
