Safety Glass Film
Safety glass film makes glass safer
Safety is one of the first requirements in applications of glass as a building material in offices, nursing homes, stores and industrial complexes. Especially for applications on glass, Glasfolie Suncontrol developed a strong high-tech safety glass film that gives the glass the properties of safety glass; Safety-film.
What is safety glass film?
Safety glass film is a tough polyester film coated with a very strong adhesive. It gives glass greater strength, making it less likely to break or shatter when pressure is applied.
Safety film increases safety around windows. In the event of explosion or vandalism, the glass film prevents damage and injury that flying shards can cause. In addition, the film has a fire-retardant effect. Because of its strength and binding capacity, Safety film is also burglar-retardant.
Different types of safety glass film
Because every office or business has its own set of issues, Glasfolie Suncontrol developed a range of Safety films with several safety and solar control properties.
The application of Safety-film gives glass a backbone. As a result, glass equipped with Safety-film becomes a contemporary safe building material, increasing comfort in existing buildings and significantly improving safety through its shard-binding effect.
Safety film is made of transparent, crystal clear polyester film and available for a variety of applications.

Why Glass Film Suncontrol?
Application of security film by a specialist
Applying: Glass film Suncontrol has its own application service. Our employees have not only experience in application, but also the right equipment. They only apply the film when the temperature of the substrate is between 5 and 25 degrees Celsius. After about a month the optimal adhesion is achieved and the film is completely tightened.
Cleaning: The strong polyester film resists cleaning well. The best cleaning agent is clean water with a splash of household vinegar. The best tools: a clean sponge and chamois. Beware of sand grains and old hardened rubber squeegees! Other sharp tools can also cause damage. Sharp cleaning chemicals are discouraged. Detailed cleaning instructions will be provided to you upon delivery of the film.
Dimensions: The width of the roll on which the film is delivered is 152 cm. This means that the maximum width when processing the film a window is about 150 cm. However, the film can also be applied if your windows are taller and wider. With larger windows it is necessary to apply a seam which is minimally visible when applied professionally.
