SCHOOL SECURITY AND SIGHT

Oct 30 2020

The Window Film Company offers a range of highly effective films, each delivering a solution for a glass related issue. While many films offer multiple benefits, it’s also possible to undertake a dual application, to deliver an even more impactful and useful solution.

For this project, at a London independent school for girls, The Window Film Company was engaged to deliver a solution that would deliver both safety and privacy, with nearly 50 large panes totalling over 70 square metres of glass requiring an application.

After discussions with the client, it was agreed that the best way of achieving the desired performance and aesthetic finish would be a dual application of safety and privacy film.

The safety element of the project was fulfilled using 100 Micron clear window film. When used as a standalone product, the film is virtually undetectable and serves to upgrade glazing to meet safety glass standards. The window film works by holding the glass together in the event of accidental or malicious damage, preventing the glass from shattering into shards and falling in on itself, causing potential injury or damage.

The privacy part of the job was delivered with white vinyl. This was applied on top of the application of safety film, and once in place delivered two way privacy, preventing a view from both sides of the glass while delivering a fresh and clean new appearance.

The double installation was carried out by a team of The Window Film Company’s fully qualified and vastly experienced fitters, with sections of the fitting requiring scaffolding tower access; an aspect of the job handled by The Window Film Company’s dedicated operations team whose job it is to manage to logistical requirements of each installation undertaken.

With both layers of film in place, both functional and aesthetic requirements were met. The 100 micron window film ensured glass was in line with safety requirements, ensuring that if the glazing was broken, it did so as safely as possible, mitigating against the risk of both damage, and more importantly, injury. The privacy requirement was also achieved, delivering privacy from both sides of the glass, and a clean, crisp and vibrant finish.
