If you’ve been in the lobby or restroom of any big downtown building, you’ve probably noticed some scratches, etching, or graffiti, but with anti-graffiti films those can be eliminated. With our templates, you don’t have to completely replace your expensive mirrors or metal surfaces. We can customize something for you so that you can peel off that etched surface and have a clean surface underneath. We’ve written about anti-graffiti film before (that’s how popular it’s become).

Vandalism is everywhere
We don’t want to be alarmists, but you’d be surprised at how widespread vandalism is. For instance, just last week in Los Angeles, vandals wreaked havoc on police cars, storefront windows, and a metro train. The windows of a clinic were covered with red and black spray paint, according to the Los Angeles Times. Other acts of vandalism can destroy windows, doors, and public monuments. Many people will avoid an area if there is visible vandalism, hurting businesses. Also, it’s ugly to see.
Who needs anti-graffiti films?
Anyone from facilities managers, to building owners to small business managers can use anti-graffiti films. Even some homeowners could be hit by vandals. And, according to the L.A. Times article above, maybe police stations need it, too! Also theater owners, restaurants, and firehouses. On another note, did you know that anti-graffiti film can also block up to 99% of the sun’s UV rays? So that film you’re getting could do double duty.
What can you do?
Do you put up a sign that says Please don’t spray paint our doors!? Buy a pressure washer and spend hours trying to clean off the graffiti? Make friends with the taggers so they don’t vandalize your business? Pay off the Marking Mobster (a term we just made up!)? Put up cameras to record those destroying your property? Thoughts and prayers? None of these options has been great so far. Maybe you have another creative answer that we haven’t thought of! Here are some ways to prevent graffiti, which include things like visibility and lighting.
Anti-graffiti films help you stay ahead of tagging and etching
We do have a solution to the tagging dilemma: anti-graffiti films! We can create customized anti-graffiti films that can be peeled off to reveal pristine surfaces underneath. They’re sort of like a sacrificial film, giving their lives so that your building maintains its beauty. They can be applied to either the interior or the exterior of your windows. Plan ahead now to protect your investment and outsmart those taggers, especially if you already know that you’re going to be vandalized!
