- How We Rate It
Optically clear safety films are colourless and undetectable on glass, which makes them the perfect protection retrofit. Unlike many other films, Armorcoat® clear safety films are non-reflective so it is virtually invisible on your windows. You maintain the natural appearance of your windows day or night.
There is no mirror effect or detectable change to the glass surface so your windows look clear, bright and beautiful. The resilient layers of high-tensile polyester, aggressive adhesives, ultraviolet inhibitors and scratch-resistant coatings provide exceptional impact resistant capabilities – with thicker films offering greater protection. Not only do these clear films help hold broken shards in place, the ultraviolet inhibitors help protect your home accessories and valuables against fade damage.
Don says...
More robust version of 4 mil good for large windows.
Mark says...
You will struggle to trim this neatly and you need strong squeegees.
Peter says...
Perfect for most types of blast/ explosion protection, accidental or otherwise.
Don says...
Stronger film but very difficult to apply. Ask for advice.
Mark says...
I would avoid this for use at home, but if you really want it, get us to fit it.
Peter says...
Rarely used in the home.
Others say...
NOT suitable for home use in our opinion. It does add strength, but at a cost of visual problems long term.
