Anti-graffiti window film
Scratched or tagged glass is expensive to replace. Anti-graffiti film takes the damage instead, and gets swapped out for a fraction of the cost.
How it works
Anti-graffiti film is a clear, sacrificial layer applied to the outside of street-level glass. When someone scratches the glass with a key or a rock, or tags it with paint or marker, the damage lands on the film. Peel off the damaged section, apply new film, and the glass underneath is untouched.
Why businesses use it
- Cheaper than glass: replacing a section of film costs far less than replacing a storefront pane.
- Faster: film is replaced in a visit, without waiting on a glass order.
- Looks clean: it's clear, so your storefront looks the same.
Where it goes
Storefronts, restaurant windows, glass doors, bus-stop and transit-facing glass, elevator and lobby glass, and mirrors in public restrooms.
Pair it with security film
Anti-graffiti film protects the surface. Security film on the inside holds the glass together if it breaks. Many storefronts use both.
