Window films come in different shapes and sizes and from the
outside looking in trying to work out the differences can be overwhelming.
Every window film has been designed to serve a specific
purpose and therefore picking the right one for your premises can be a tricky
process if you don’t know what to look out for.
That’s why we’ve put together this simple guide on the
different types of window films currently on offer and their intended uses.
Privacy window film as the name suggests is intended to
increase the privacy in a home or office environment.
Privacy window film or frosted window
films
make it impossible to see out or in where it is applied without the
need to close curtains or blinds.
The best feature of privacy window films is they can allow
up to 80% of sunlight through the glass so you can still reap all the benefits
of natural light while the glass is distorted so you have peace of mind.
Privacy window film is very versatile and can be
used for a range of applications including office boardrooms, bathroom show
screens, pool fences and bedroom windows to name only a few.
Anti-graffiti window film is a durable, optically clear and
removable window film that acts a sacrificial
barrier
between your glass surfaces and potential vandalism.
Graffitigard
from Solar Gard
is one of the most popular choices in anti-graffiti window
films and comes highly recommended from the team at ALLCOOL Window films.
Graffitigard provides a cost-effective solution to protecting
your surfaces from every form of vandalism from paint, key scratches, marking
and even acid-etching. When vandalized the film is easily removed and can be
replaced with another layer meaning you don’t have to spend excessive amounts
of money replacing or cleaning surfaces. Graffitigard also offers the bonus
protection from the sun’s harmful UV rays to help prevent premature fading.
Anti-graffiti film is ideal for high traffic areas like
shopfronts, public transport, hospitals, schools, post offices, hotels and
more.
Clear safety film is an optically clear layer than transforms
your existing windows into an invisible barrier for your premises.
Safety window film is a great option to help mitigate
accidents and injuries caused from glass breakage and deter smash and grab
intruders from getting into your property. It also means you can maximise the
amount of natural light inside your premises without the need to put up
intrusive bars that detract from appearance.
Safety
films
come in a range of different performance and design options dependent
on your individual needs.
Some popular applications for this type of window film
include schools, childcare centres, shop front windows and internal glass
surfaces.
Solar window film is designed specifically to reduce the
impact of solar rays inside your premises. Whether it’s reducing the heat,
reducing the cold or just protecting the furnishings inside your home solar
window film is fantastic solution for all residential and commercial properties.
Solar window film works by blocking solar
heat, UV radiation and glare outside and trapping the temperature inside.
That means not only in Summer will your premises stay cooler for longer but in
winter it will be warmer for longer, increasing your all-round comfortability
and energy efficiency.
The additional benefit is that by repelling 71% of the solar
energy that would usually come through your windows or glass doors, you can
also extend the life of your furniture. Solar heat is a primary cause of
furniture fading and solar window film is a great solution to help slow this
process.
Decorative
or graphic window film
is used to elevate a space by extending the design
possibilities.
Graphic window film can be cut to accommodate almost any
design and is commonly utilised to reflect corporate branding. They can also be
incorporated with a privacy window film solution to not only create privacy but
also incorporate a sense of style like the below for example.
If you’re looking to inject some new life and give your
residential or commercial property a fresh look, decorative window film is a dynamic,
cost-effective solution.
Graphic window film can be applied anywhere from offices to
shopfronts and internal fit outs.
