A revolution in a thin sheet of plastic
What can give ordinary glass the mechanical and optical features of special glass?
Just an extra-thin film of polyester.
Polyester film has been used successfully since the 1960s as it gives glass a wide range of aesthetic and functional properties:
- high mechanical resistance
- containment of breakages and shards
- partial or total reflectance and "opaque" effects for privacy protection
- protection against solar radiation (UV rays)
- reduced heat dispersion.
Companies and research laboratories have designed and developed various types of polyester film to suit today’s building requirements.
Some of the many proven advantages are:
- compliance with all safety and anti-vandalism requirements
- enhanced environmental safety and protection
- versatility (can be used indoors or out)
- reduced costs (easy installation and multi-purpose use)
- extra-long durability (high resistance to abrasion and fading)
- more affordable than special glass
- cost-saving (polyester film allows energy saving, limits heat dispersion and inhibits solar radiation, thereby reducing heating and air-conditioning costs).
Durability:
These superior quality films feature excellent resistance to mechanical stress and environmental agents, and are guarantee long-lasting (2-10 years for vertical and 2-7 years for horizontal glass, depending on the type of film; tests conducted by us have shown that some types of film can last over 15 years).
