GET A HEALTH CHECK…
Posted on - November 26, 2024We all know that we should get a health check every now and then.
Particularly if we’re feeling a bit out-of-sorts or notice any problems.
Well — it’s exactly the same with window film…
The health of your window film is very important, particularly in schools and educational establishments.
To be effective and fit for purpose window film needs to be performing as intended.
High Performing products
All our film is top-quality, high-tech material — and, professionally installed, should provide excellent benefits for years.
Most films from Durable have a 12 year warranty and a 15+ year working life, however this is for the internally applied films the new external films have a 7 year warranty and a 10 year working life as they have to work harder against UV attack and the elements etc.
Pre 2014 the films would have had a 5 year warranty and a seven year life and should be checked.
Lessons learnt
Over the past 15 years many schools have had safety window film applied to the external face of glass.
Maybe the glass was not accessible from the inside or the double glazed window risk is from the outside [playground/ walk way] — and this, as we mentioned, does have a shorter working life than its internal stable mate.

Our advice
External safety film fitted before 2010 should be checked to see if there is a visible degradation.
Films on the South and West elevations of buildings are most vulnerable and therefore should be checked sooner.
If in doubt please call Durable for a free evaluation.
We can offer a complete Glass Audit — to check the health of all your glass windows, doors and partitions.
This gives you a full report providing you with all the information you need to make sure you are safe, compliant and legal.
