What Anti-Graffiti is for
Storefronts, transit-facing offices, schools and restrooms often see etching and tagging. Anti-graffiti film goes on the outside face of the glass, so the damage lands on a replaceable layer.
It is a maintenance strategy, not a security system. Owners usually plan for periodic replacement of the damaged sections.
Appearance and tradeoffs
- It does not provide glass retention like a security film and is not a forced-entry product.
- Being on the exterior, it faces weather and cleaning; ask for its care instructions.
- It is nearly clear, so it adds little solar control. Several solar metrics are N/A on the master sheet.

Anti-Graffiti questions
Does anti-graffiti film stop break-ins?
No. It protects the glass surface from scratches and markings. For glass retention, look at the Safety & Security family.
Why are some values N/A?
The master sheet does not list infrared values for these films. N/A means not published—not zero—so we show it that way.
