A client’s first impression is priceless. Graffiti removal costs billions of dollars annually for Canadian businesses. Graffiti and vandalism can ruin a company’s reputation and physical building. That is why you need the protection of an anti-graffiti film or a sacrificial coating.
Graffiti and vandalism can include tagging, acid etching, carving and scratching. Business owners and property managers can both suffer if their glass is permanently damaged from abrasion or paint. Replacing glass is time-consuming and expensive. At Window Film Systems, our protective security film can be ten to twenty times less expensive than glass replacement. Storefronts are the primary target for most vandalism and with anti-graffiti film for businesses you will have 24/7 protection against vandalism.
There are two main types of film that protect against graffiti – sacrificial and permanent.
Permanent films adhere to the existing glass or surface and are cleaned when needed. The film stays intact and can last many years. Anti-graffiti films are unnoticeable because they are transparent. Therefore, they do not negatively affect your building aesthetics.
Sacrificial coatings are clear film that can be removed after a graffiti attack or damage has occurred. A new sacrificial barrier would then be applied. These coatings are a cost-effective alternative to permanent window film coatings. Window film that protects against graffiti attacks can be installed internally or externally as per the client’s needs.
Sacrificial coating and anti-graffiti film are ideal for schools, transit systems, restroom mirrors and storefront windows. It protects against high-traffic wear, vandalism and graffiti and can easily be installed and removed.
Replacing glass due to graffiti is expensive, but there are more costs associated with vandalism than just its removal. Unsightly graffiti can negatively impact sales by damaging your company’s credibility. No one wants to shop or frequent a building with damaged or vandalized windows. Gas stations, jewellery display cases, bathroom stalls and mirrors are other areas that are prone to graffiti or high-traffic damage.
