How Anti-Graffiti Film Works To Stop Vandalism In Dallas

Vandalism seriously affects your company’s image and destroys your business message on top of that.  Which is why doing everything you can to stop graffiti is a very good step towards business success. Truly no building is immune from it,  but there are steps you can take to reduce your risk of attack and/or repair damages already done. Anti-graffiti films, as it were that dovetail perfectly with the steps below to prevent vandalism on your Dallas property.   

3 Steps To Stop Vandalism On Your Dallas Building

1) IDENTIFY WEAKNESSES IN YOU COMMERCIAL SPACE

Vandals seek out areas that are out of the way and not monitored: perimeter points, unlit areas and architectural features like elevators and a vandals dream areas.   Having a quick look around all of your property to identify these places and making a list of vulnerable areas is the perfect way to begin avoiding graffiti-attacks. At Window Film Dallas we have a number of anti-graffiti films for the different surfaces that you will find: mirrors, glass, and metal.

2) TAKE STEPS TO DETER CRIME/VANDALISM

Once you have taken an inventory of vulnerabilities it is time to start taking steps to protect your commercial property or office space.  Increasing lighting in some areas, putting up security cameras in others and having anti-graffiti film applied to some of the most difficult areas to defend are all ways to protect yourself. Graffiti film works as a sacrificial layer that is applied on top of surfaces.  Once graffiti is done to your property, an attempt will likely be made again so this method which greatly reduces the cost of repair on mirrored, metal or glass surface is a wise move. The reason the costs are so low much lower with films than with traditional graffiti removal is because our films, Metal Guard, Mirror-Guard and Glass Guard films, can be removed and replaced at a fraction of the cost of replacing the full architectural element.  We also have custom films to protect nearly any flat surface.

3) RESPOND IMMEDIATELY TO VANDALISM

It is very important that graffiti is not left to sit on your property for any length of time.  There are two main reasons behind this.

  • Leaving it on tends to encourage vandals since their main goal is to have their questionable artwork on display. Removing the graffiti in one day by simply replacing the Guard film quells satisfaction in vandals immediately.
  • Even one instance of vandalism has a ripple effect. The longer you leave it on, the more significant the overall impact of the event tends to be. Vandalism is more than just unsightly it is a threat to your company’s image, the value of your building, the tenancy length of your renters and brings neighborhood values down.  

Anti-graffiti film allows you to immediately and cost-effectively remedy graffiti and keep your business running in the process.  This saves you money, retains clients and tenants and improves relations with your neighbors.
