The importance of protecting windows and glass during refurbishment

Snags on a new development or refurbishment are common place – especially those to glass. Windows and glass surfaces can easily be damaged from scratches, paint spills or breakages.

The costs to repair or replace glass or window frames can be very expensive. However, a simple temporary protection product can greatly reduce those risks. Proguard window protection film is specifically designed for the protection of glass from scratches and spills. This high-quality, self-adhesive film has UV properties to ensure it leaves no residue on removal.

The window film is easy to apply and can be left on glass for up to 30 days. It comes supplied on rolls (available in various widths and lengths) and can be applied by hand or with our film applicator to make the job even easier. If you don’t use all the roll, it can be stored until the next job.

TOP TIP: Protect your frames with low tack tape!

Many people overlay Proguard Window Film on both the glass and the frame. Whilst this won’t damage the frames it may allow the film to create air bubbles underneath and cause it to peel away reducing its effectiveness. We therefore would always recommend users apply the film on the glass only and protect the window frames with a low tack tape. Proguard’s ultra low tack PVC tape is the perfect product for the job. It can also be used on door frames or any other sensitive surface as, like the protection film, it leaves no residue on removal.
