Safety & Bomb Blast Window Films
- Designed to make glass safer, both by strengthening it against breakage and helping hold dangerous shards of shattered glass together in situations where breakage does occur.
- Schools, hospitals, offices, workplaces and public buildings must comply with Regulation 14 of the Workplace (Health, Safety and Welfare) Regulations 1992 by upgrading glazing for safe breakage. Professionally installed window film is a straightforward retro-fit solution that meets the required safety standard.
- Safety films are available from 100 microns to 300 microns, as the films increase in microns (thickness) they offer increased protection. We have a large range of safety films that are clear, mirrored or frosted and can be applied externally or internally with or without a physical/ structural support around the frame to further increase the strength of the film.
- 100 Micron: Tested and certified to EN 12600 Class 2B2, used by many organisations as a minimum specification for safety film. Often used in schools and offices to meet British Standards (EN 12600 has now replaced BS 6206).
- 175 or 200 Micron: EN 12600 Class 1B1. A multi-laminate bomb blast protection film widely used by many government agencies and commercial organisations to address the real corporate risk of bomb-blast, or industrial explosion at, or near, their premises. 200 Micron film may also be used with a physical attachment system to provide smash & grab protection, especially useful for a jewellers shop window.
- 300 Micron: Often used on ground floor windows and other high security areas of buildings considered to be at greater risk. Also provides adequate protection for smash & grab and intruder attacks on ground level windows. Often used as part of an anti-intruder scheme to protect against rioting etc
Privacy Window Film
- Translucent privacy screening films are used to give two-way privacy with an effect that looks like etched glass or sandblasted glass, both finishes still allow high levels of daylight through the window. The high levels of privacy make this product suitable for bathrooms, medical consultation rooms, offices and to comply with planning permission.

Custom Manifestation
Dean Sporton
If you ever need any office or domestic windows tinting this is the company you need to get in touch with. After urgently needing some windows tinted I got in touch with Warren and he managed to juggle things around so he could fit me in as this was an urgent job that needed to be done. Warren's work was excellent and completed in a super quick time which I was very grateful for. Can’t thank Warren enough for what he has done for me and would happily use it again and recommend it for more jobs.

"Glazing films fitted frosted window film to our office windows which were a great alternative to blinds. We even had our logo cut into the design giving our office the sleek, modern look we wanted to achieve. Would highly recommend it."
