Safety Window Film

It is important for businesses to comply with Health and Safety regulations, not only for the peace of mind of the owners, management and staff, but failing to meet legal standards can result in serious problems if anything ever goes wrong, both with insurers and with the risk of heavy fines or even imprisonment.

Current Building regulations and Health & Safety Legislation calls for glass within certain areas (Critical Locations) to meet a minimum IMPACT safety performance standard. This standard is BS EN 12600...

Solar protection safety film and safety window films are recommended window films by Local Government Authorities, protect the workplace, schools, around the home with window film.

Whilst this window film can slightly improve the inherent strength of the glass to which it is applied, reducing the risk of initial breakage is it's real benefit and comes from safety Film being able to hold together broken glass fragments.

Whether the glass is broken through impact, building movement, vandalism or weather conditions Safety Films provide a barrier to fragments of glass breaking free thus enhancing employee, worker and child safety.

The risk of initial and subsequent injury is dramatically reduced enabling a safe and quick clean up process afterwards.

Recognized as a highly effective method of improving the safety of glass, Safety Film is recommended and endorsed by Local Authorities for use by child minders in order to protect children under their care against glass related injury.

Safety Window Film

This marking includes full details of the material, the safety standard and also the installation company. Film applied to glass WITHOUT the marking, will improve the safety performance of glass but WILL NOT satisfy the definition of a safety material included within current Building Regulations / Health & Safety Legislation.
Customers fitting their own safety film, should not be offered "compliance" marking for them to fit themselves as this is a false statement intimating that the safety film has been professionally installed by the company who's name is on the marking "sticker". SP window films will not supply "compliance" marking under any circumstances to any third party.
