In the event of an impact—whether from a break-in attempt, severe weather, or an accident—the film holds shattered glass together, reducing the risk of injury from flying shards .

Legal Information / Tint Guidelines.
In the UK, commercial window tinting is generally unregulated, allowing businesses significant flexibility in selecting films that enhance energy efficiency, privacy, and aesthetics. However, it's crucial to consider certain legal and safety aspects to ensure compliance and avoid potential issues.
1. Building Regulations and Safety Compliance
While there are no specific restrictions on the darkness of window tints for commercial buildings, it's essential to adhere to general building regulations, particularly concerning fire safety and glazing standards. For instance, certain types of glazing must be toughened or laminated to reduce the risk of injury in case of breakage. Installing window tints that compromise these safety standards can lead to non-compliance with building codes.
2. Aesthetic and Planning Considerations
In some areas, especially those with conservation restrictions, planning permission may be required before applying certain types of window films. This is particularly relevant for listed buildings or properties within conservation areas, where external alterations are closely regulated. It's advisable to consult with local planning authorities before proceeding with window tint installations in such locations.
3. Insurance and Liability
While not a legal requirement, informing your insurance provider about any modifications to your building, including window tinting, is prudent. Some insurers may have specific clauses regarding alterations, and failing to disclose such changes could affect coverage in the event of a claim.
4. Professional Installation
Engaging a reputable and certified professional for window tint installation ensures that the work complies with industry standards and regulations. Professional installers are knowledgeable about the appropriate films for different applications and can advise on the best choices to meet both aesthetic and functional requirements.

Security Window Tint FAQ
1. What is security window tint?
Security window tint, also called security window film, is a strong, transparent layer applied to glass surfaces to make them more resistant to breaking. It helps hold shattered glass together during impacts, accidents, or break-ins, reducing injury risks and improving safety.
2. How does it enhance security?
The film reinforces glass so that even if someone tries to break it, the glass stays mostly intact. This:
-
Deters burglars by slowing down access
-
Reduces risk of flying shards during accidents
-
Provides extra protection in storms or vandalism
3. Can security tint prevent UV damage?
Yes. Most high-quality security tints block up to 99% of harmful UV rays, protecting interiors, furniture, flooring, and skin from sun damage and fading.

-
Reduce glare from sunlight

Reduce reliance on air conditioning

With proper care, security tint films typically last 10–15 years, depending on exposure, quality, and installation.

-
Residential windows

-
Clear films: Almost invisible

8. Can it help with insurance?
