Window tinting is a process widely used in many residential and commercial buildings due to safety and security issues, harsh sunlight, UV rays which cause glare, fading of precious items and reduced work production in offices.
Window film comes in a variety of polyester films, which are bonded by a patented built-in technologically advanced adhesive. It is applied to the interior or exterior of existing glass panes to improve the performance of glass.
Window film technology has advanced significantly in quality over the past two decades with technology. It can now be inconspicuous, non-reflective or reflective, frosted, textured, grey, silver, neutral, sky blue, computer cut or coloured to suit the required needs of each situation. Many films come with a lifetime residential warranty.
Solar films screen out varying amounts of heat, reduce ultraviolet rays and harsh uncomfortable glare while allowing controlled natural sunlight to pass through glass and reducing fading. This keeps heat inside the room during winter while allowing clear views of scenery to be enhanced and retained. Privacy with clarity of vision can be obtained by use of reflective or medium films. Some films similar to coloured glass allow better night vision of views while reducing reflection both internally and externally.
A wide range of Frostings in different colours, sheens and textures are available for bathroom and office privacy while retaining light levels. Computer cut logos and decorative designs can be applied if required.
Safety Films increase the puncture strength of glass and comply with NZ Safety Standards NZS2208 “Human Impact” and AS1288/NZS4223 “Selection & Installation” standards. They are available in a range of clear to deep tints, reducing the injury to children and animals caused by large broken glass or shards of glass flying out in the event of breakage. Security film helps resist unwelcome intrusions, provides bomb blast protection and strengthens building security.
Where graffiti is the primary concern, anti-graffiti film is applied as a crystal clear retrofit film suitable for exterior and interior surfaces such as glass, mirrors or stainless steel. It protects from the permanent and expensive damage caused by vandalism and graffiti without affecting appearance.
