Covering the windows of the world.

ADS Safety Window Film has prevented an attempted smash and grab raid at a high street shop in Chard, Somerset. A concrete boulder was thrown three or four times at the shop front of Barons Menswear in the early hours of the morning in an attempt to smash the glass. Although the glass shattered, the safety film held the pieces intact within the window frame and prevented the “would be” thieves from gaining access to the shop.

The ADS Safety Film has now been installed to neighbouring shops that saw first hand the real benefits of the film.

Shop proprietor John Baron comments: “There is no doubt in my mind that the safety film prevented a burglary. This was no speculative, random attempt. It was the second attempted break in and it was definitely planned. The first attempt was on a window that didn’t have safety film and that unfortunately succeeded.”

ADS Safety Film is a clear polyester film, which is applied to the internal or external face of windows or glazed door panels. In the event of a breakage, it holds together the shards of broken glass to prevent injury, damage and, in this case illegal entry. Safety Film is not burglar proof but it makes penetration much more difficult and slow, deterring the less determined burglar and giving time for the alarm to be raised.

ADS Window Films Ltd has been solving all manner of glass related problems throughout the South-West for many years. Along with the security benefits, window films can reduce unwanted heat, glare and minimise fading of soft furnishing by virtually eliminating Ultra Violet Light.

Woodlands School – Coloured Window Film Installation

Situation – We were approached by the Headmaster at Woodlands School because he wanted to find an ascetically pleasing solution to a problem. Woodlands School provides a specialist education for children with physical and sensory difficulties and the Headmaster was looking for a solution to help visually impaired pupils with their orientation and, at the same time, enhance their surroundings. He also needed to do something about the heat from the glass covered corridors, especially in the summer months.

Solution – An application of coloured film to the windows and roof lights with an external 35 window film over the top. As you can see, this created an incredible colourful space which is sensorially pleasing and, at the same time, is helping to keep the building cool. This is a perfect example of how you can upgrade glazing to reduce heat gain without having to replace all the glass and it shows too how exciting it can change the appearance of the glass by using colour. External window film is designed for durability in exterior applications and not only does the film reduce heat, it provides 99% UV Protection and reduced glare. The overall effect was striking.

Feedback- “The children and staff love the new colours and we have been treated to a sunny day where they have shown the film at its best. Several children simply sat in a particular colour puddle on the floor and refused to move! It has made our school complete. There are now clear visual zones for our visually impaired pupils and this has helped greatly.”
