Anti-graffiti window film · 3M Anti-Graffiti Film, installed by Epic

Let the film take the damage.

Anti-graffiti window film is a clear, replaceable layer over glass. When vandals scratch, etch or tag it, Epic peels the damaged film and installs a fresh layer instead of replacing the glass. Epic installs 3M Anti-Graffiti Film on storefront, transit shelter, school and restroom glass doors and windows, nationwide.

What it is

What is anti-graffiti window film?

A clear, sacrificial film that goes over the glass and takes the abuse. Keys, etching tools, abrasives and markers mark the film, not the glass. When the film is marked, it comes off and a new layer goes on.

  • A sacrificial, removable layer: it does not chemically bond to the glass (3M)
  • Helps protect glass from vandalism, graffiti, etching, scratches and abrasion (3M)
  • 86% visible light transmitted and under 1% UV transmitted, on 1/4" clear glass (3M AG4 and AG6 data sheets)

Where it goes

Where does anti-graffiti film go?

Anywhere glass gets keyed, scratched, etched or tagged often enough that replacing it has become a line item.

Storefronts & retail

Display windows and entry doors that get keyed, scratched or tagged. A damaged layer comes off and a new one goes on, without reglazing or closing the store.

Transit & bus shelters

Shelter panels and station glass in public space, where scratching and etching are a routine maintenance cost.

Schools

Entry, corridor and restroom glass doors and windows that students can reach. Epic can install it on the same visit as security film going on other glass.

Restrooms

Glass doors and windows in public and school restrooms.

Lobbies & entrances

Lobby glass doors, sidelites and entry windows in buildings open to the public.

Office & campus glass

Interior or exterior glass doors and windows in offices, campuses and public buildings. 3M documents the film for interior or exterior glass on windows and doors.

3M documents its Anti-Graffiti Films for glass on windows and doors. Epic confirms every surface at the survey before quoting.

FAQ

Anti-graffiti film questions

What is anti-graffiti window film?
A clear, sacrificial film installed over glass. 3M designs its Anti-Graffiti Film as a removable layer that helps protect glass from vandalism, graffiti, etching, scratches and abrasion. When the film is damaged, it comes off and a new layer goes on, and the glass stays.
Does anti-graffiti film stop scratching and acid etching?
It takes the damage instead of the glass. 3M lists etching, scratches and abrasion among the damage the film helps protect glass against. The film itself gets scratched or etched, and then Epic replaces it. It does not make glass vandal-proof.
How long does anti-graffiti film last?
3M does not publish a service life; the film is designed as a sacrificial layer that is replaced when damaged. 3M lists a one-year product warranty on its Anti-Graffiti Films, and Epic states the terms on the proposal. How often you replace it depends on how often the glass gets hit.
Can anti-graffiti film go over security film?
3M’s anti-graffiti data sheets are written for application directly to glass and do not cover installing it over another film. If your glass already has security film, Epic reviews it at the survey before recommending anything.
Does anti-graffiti film change how the glass looks?
Very little. 3M rates it optically clear, with 86% visible light transmitted on 1/4-inch clear glass and under 1% of UV transmitted.
What does anti-graffiti film cost?
It depends on the square footage of glass, the 3M grade and access. Epic gives you a written number after a free survey. When a layer is damaged, Epic replaces the film, and a replacement layer is priced the same way.
