Safer and More Secure - Safety Window Film

Safety window film helps employers fulfil their duty of care to staff, comply with workplace health and safety regulations, and reduce potential security risks.

 

Safety window film works by ensuring that, in the event of glass breakage caused by impact, building movement, vandalism, or adverse weather conditions, the glass breaks in a controlled and safe manner. Untreated or standard glazing can shatter, allowing sharp shards to fall from the frame and create an immediate hazard. Safety film holds the broken glass together, significantly reducing the risk of injury to employees, visitors, and children.

 

Legislation requires glass in certain locations to meet specific safety standards. Applying safety window film is a cost-effective and efficient way to achieve compliance. The film upgrades existing glazing to safety glass, eliminating the need for expensive glass replacement programmes while ensuring required standards are met.

 

Safety window film can be installed internally or externally and applied directly to existing windows and glazing. Once fitted, the glass is upgraded to meet the safety standard BS EN 12600 (formerly BS 6206).

​

Recognised as a highly effective method of improving glass safety, safety window film is recommended and endorsed by local authorities for use in childcare environments, helping protect children from glass-related injuries.

​

Available in a range of thicknesses, strengths, and finishes, safety window film offers solutions to meet both functional and aesthetic requirements. We can provide samples and expert advice to help you select the most suitable film for your specific needs.

 

Safety window film can be applied in conjunction with other films to deliver increased functionality such as security, privacy and solar protection, with many films offering multiple benefits.
