Glass Shield & Multi-Layer
Clear 4 or 6 mil film for glass, or a factory stack of layers (most often four 4-mil) that staff can peel one at a time.
Best for: Vehicle windows, partitions, shelters and station glass

Anti-graffiti and surface protection film for buses, trains, stations, elevators, escalators and restrooms.
Buses, trains, stations, parking structures, elevators and public restrooms take more abuse than any other surface in a city. We protect the glass, mirrors and metal with film that takes the scratches, etching and tags, so the fix is peeling off a layer instead of replacing a window or refinishing a panel.
A scratched bus window, an etched elevator door or a tagged restroom mirror usually means a replacement part, a lead time, and something taken out of service while you wait. Protective film changes that. The film takes the damage, and replacing it is a maintenance task measured in minutes.
For fleets and facilities with many identical parts, film can be precut to the exact shape of each window, panel or mirror, with a small part number in the corner. When one gets hit, the replacement is ordered by number and fits the first time. On the most-targeted glass, multi-layer film lets your own staff peel the damaged layer on the spot, and a clean one is already underneath.
Beyond vehicles, the same films protect bus shelter panels, map and display cases, platform entrance glass and security booths. Mirror Shield can also be printed, so a logo or safety notice can be built into the protective layer itself.
Protecting stainless, aluminum and glass while it is still undamaged is cheaper than restoring it later. On older surfaces, Metal Shield and Mirror Shield cover the damage that is already there and protect against the next round.
Stations and facilities usually need anti-graffiti film on the glass, surface protection on the metal and security film on booths and entrances. One crew means one survey, one specification, one schedule and one company to call when something gets hit.

Questions
Side windows, interior partitions, door glass, and stainless or aluminum panels. Glass windows get Glass Shield or Multi-Layer film; polycarbonate windows get Glass Shield Poly, which is made for plastic.
No. Film goes on with a squeegee and a spray bottle, with no cutting of the surface and no odor or dust. We schedule around service hours, and a vehicle, cab or restroom is usable again right after the install.
With multi-layer film and the Peel Mirror System, yes: the damaged top layer peels off in a minute or two. Single-layer film and Metal Shield are replaced by us. Precut pieces with part numbers make that quick.
On metal and mirrors, yes. Metal Shield covers existing scratches, keying and oxidation on stainless and aluminum, and Mirror Shield covers aged or scratched mirrors. On glass, clear film does not hide deep scratches or etching that is already in the glass, so badly damaged panes may need replacing before the film goes on.
Etching cream and acid attack the film instead of the glass. Once the damaged layer is removed, the glass underneath is clean.
Yes. Security film holds glass together when it is broken, which suits ticket booths, security booths and ground-floor glass. It can be combined with an anti-graffiti layer. More on security film.
Yes. We work on transit and facility projects in California and Tennessee and are part of nationwide installation networks for larger out-of-state jobs.
