How Anti-Graffiti Film Works To Stop Vandalism In Austin
Vandalism is very damaging to your company’s image and will destroy your business’s message on top of that. Which is why doing everything you can to stop graffiti is a good for your business success here in Austin. Sadly, no building is immune from graffiti but there are ways you deal with the risk of attack and/or mitigate current damages. Anti-graffiti films and graffiti prevention measures dovetail perfectly so, we have listed some steps to prevent vandalism on your Austin property in coordination with protective films.
3 Steps To Stop Vandalism On Your Austin Building
1) IDENTIFY WEAKNESSES
Vandals are always on the lookout for areas that are not well monitored: perimeter points, unlit areas and architectural features like elevators and bathrooms are the hardest to monitor and not surprisingly the most frequently attacked. Do a quick survey of your property to identify these types of places. Making a list of the most vulnerable areas is a great way to begin avoiding graffiti-attacks. At Greenlight Window Films we have a wide variety of anti-graffiti films for the different surfaces that you will find: mirrors, glass, and metal.
2) TAKE STEPS TO DETER
Once you have identified vulnerabilities steps to protect your commercial property or office space must be implemented. Increasing lighting in some areas, installing security cameras in others and applying anti-graffiti film to exposed flat surfaces are all great ways to protect your space. Graffiti film works as a sacrificial layer that is applied on top of a flat surface before or after graffiti. This amazing film reduces the cost of repair on mirrored, metal or glass surface and is a wise business move. Films like Metal Guard, Mirror-Guard and Glass Guard films are all easily removed and replaced but for much less replacing the full architectural elements/ We also offer custom films to protect nearly any flat surface.
3) RESPOND IMMEDIATELY
It is critical not allow graffiti to sit on your property for even a short period of time. There are two main reasons for this.
- Leaving graffiti on will encourages vandals because their goal is to have their scrawling on display. Since Graffiti shield films can be replaced a day if not a couple of hours, this graffiti removal method removes the satisfaction vandals get from lingering graffiti.
- Even one instance of vandalism will cause a ripple effect. The longer you leave it on, the more powerful the impact becomes: the value of your building drops, vacancy increase and length neighborhood values go down.
