Text 02Anti-Graffiti Film in Defiance

Anti-graffiti film adds a removable layer over a suitable surface. Scratches or markings may affect that layer instead of the surface beneath it. If damage is confined to the film, replacing the layer can restore the surface's appearance. The underlying glass can still be damaged by a severe impact.

Replacement time depends on the surface, the extent of damage and access to the area. An installer can assess the existing film and explain what the work involves. If the marks are limited to the film, replacing it may restore the appearance without replacing the underlying surface.

A removable film layer can take scratches or markings that might otherwise reach a suitable glass surface. When damage stays within that layer, replacement may avoid work on the glass itself. Film cannot prevent every kind of damage, so an installer should assess the surface and its exposure.
