External Safety films are mainly used where both interior and exterior films have been specified for application to both sides of the glazing units for extra strength and protection. This could be for any number of reasons to provide a double protection safety or security application.

A regular use of these exterior films is to hold glass together where there is a history of spontaneous shattering of glazing units in overhead or vertical situations creating a severe and unpredictable risk to the public.

This film can include improved security by creating a deterrent to “smash-and-grab” and forced entry crime, and providing protection against the vandalism of glass through graffiti such as the etching or scratching of glass. 

* Some warranty periods are reduced or negated as the angle of the sloped glazing lowers towards the horizontal-orientation.
