Anti-Graffiti / Vandalism

Protecting Property from Permanent Damage from Vandalism

The latest statistics show that incidents of property damage from vandalism continue to rise. The growing cost of graffiti clean-up alone has reached over $8 billion annually in America. Both public and private places are vulnerable and spray-painted and etched graffiti has become common in cities worldwide. According to the National Association of Realtors, properties located in neighborhoods where there is graffiti vandalism lose 15% of their value. To protect their property and avoid having to replace large expensive glass, property owners and public managers are turning to a quick, cost-effective and easy solution: anti-graffiti film. After professionally applying this removable, clear barrier to exposed surfaces such as windows, mirrors or marble, graffiti is simply peeled off leaving no permanent damage.

Anti-Graffiti Film Can Deter Future Graffiti Attacks
By facilitating quick graffiti removal, this protective film solution also acts as a deterrent to future graffiti attacks. The Bureau of Justice Statistics shows that removing graffiti within 48 hours greatly reduces the likelihood of a building being re-graffitied. Graffiti that is left alone has been shown to actually increase the probability of repeat attacks.



Johnson’s Superior Solution
With unique polyester construction bonded with special adhesives, Johnson Window Films’ Defendor Anti-Graffiti film offers outstanding protection for glass and other metal and non-porous surfaces. It’s optically clear—virtually invisible, and will not distort the view when applied to glass. The thickness of the film acts as a sacrificial layer against keying and acid etching vandalism. Defendor is available in a 4 mil thickness as well as a 7 mil option for a higher level of protection. A special mounting adhesive makes the film easy to remove and replace. It has an industry-leading scratch-resistant coating called “CST” which helps to prevent ugly and annoying scratches.

Multiple Applications / Easy Maintenance
Defendor can be easily cleaned with everyday household window cleaning products and can be utilized in a variety of business establishments such as department stores, schools and malls. It also can be applied to a wide array of surfaces like store display cases, bus shelters, subways & trains, bathroom mirrors & stalls and elevator doors.

Additional Protection
Defendor rejects 99% of the sun’s damaging UV rays, thus reducing the amount of fading that occurs to interior property. Defendor is also made with a unique adhesive that bonds film to glass. This allows the film to stay attached to the glass longer and makes it harder for smash-and-grab robbers to be successful.*

No matter what the location or application, Defendor is the tough, protective barrier against costly glass and surface damage.

Can also be applied to other non-porous surfaces such as bathroom stalls and elevator doors
