04 · FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Popular questions about safety film
Can safety film prevent glass from breaking?
Safety film does not make glass unbreakable. It helps retain fragments when breakage occurs and may reduce scattering, depending on the glass, film thickness and installation method.
How does Safety Clear differ from ordinary solar-control film?
Safety Clear focuses on retaining fragments and reducing scattering when glass breaks. Solar-control films generally focus on light and heat management. Choose according to the intended purpose and each product's technical information.
How should I choose between 4, 8 and 12 mil?
Selection depends on glass type and dimensions, location and the protection needed. Have the team check the glazing system and technical documents before deciding.
Will the glass remain clear after safety film is installed?
Safety Clear has a stated VLT of at least 90%. Actual brightness and appearance also depend on the glass and lighting conditions.
Can safety film be installed on existing glass?
Existing glass can be considered in many cases, but its type, surface condition, thickness, dimensions and framing must be assessed for installation suitability.
How long does safety film last, and what warranty applies?
Service life and warranty terms depend on the product, environment and manufacturer. Contact the team for the terms that apply to your chosen product.
