Questions from offices and receptions
Is our existing office glass safe?
Glass in doors, side panels and low screens should be safety glass and marked so people notice it. Our survey checks markings and flags anything that falls short.
Can film be applied without disrupting staff?
Yes. Film is applied from inside, a few panes at a time, and can be scheduled for evenings or weekends.
Can a reception desk have a screen without looking unwelcoming?
Yes. Clear laminated screens with slim frames protect staff while keeping the desk open and visible.
Do you replace large office panes?
Yes, including ground-floor curtain wall and shopfront-style panes, with the access equipment the job needs.
