Public liability is
an issue for businesses that have large, glazed areas of glass.

Installation of safety and security window film can protect your staff, and the general public in the event of breakage. If you live in property with single glazing, adding a safety and security film to strengthen it will eliminate the need to replace the glass and decorating costs.
