Safety Film is completely clear so has no effect on the appearance of the window, it is designed to upgrade unsafe fragile glass to current British Standards without the need to replace the whole unit which can be costly. It is a legal requirement that glazing in public areas should meet the minimum safety standard, applying Safety Film will ensure your glass meets these standards & regulations.
Safety window film works when glass breaks, controlling the post-break behaviour of the broken fragments, generally by holding the pieces together attached to the film. This greatly enhances the safety of building occupants and protection of furnishings from damage caused by broken and or flying glass pieces.
Critical Locations as outlined by The British Standards Institute
Safety Film needs to be applied to any glass that is 1500mm in height from the floor and any other low level glass that is within 800mm from the ground. Legal safety requirements state that unless glass is toughened or laminated it should either be replaced or Safety Window Film applied so that your glazing complies with regulation BS EN 12600. Safety Film application is far cheaper and less disruptive than replacing glazed units.
