All of our products carry a 12 month warranty against cracking, discolouration and delaminating. Please note that the vast majority of problems found with Window Films are due to installation error and not product failure. We recommend that customers follow our installation instructions accurately to promote a trouble free product life. This does not affect your statutory rights.
You agree that it is your responsibility to determine if your glass is suitable to have window film fitted to it .Shield Window Film Ltd cannot be held responsible for any glass breakage or cracking that may result in the fitting of window films to your glass.
We reserve the right to inspect claims under the above warranty prior to any settlement being authorised.
When purchasing window film from Shield Window Film Ltd the buyer agrees that the product installation quality is determined by their own, or their appointed installer’s ability and Shield Window Film Ltd can not be held responsible for defects or breakages resulting from poor installation. These include, but are not limited to, bubbling, visual impairment, scratches, glass breakage or cracking, damage to surrounding fixtures and fittings, paintwork, personal injury and financial loss.
Shield Window Film Ltd will not be held responsible for any glass cracking or seal failure that may occur after the installation of window film. This can very occasionally happen if you have chosen the incorrect film for your type of glass or the glass was damaged prior to installing the film. It is the buyers responsibility to determine that the film they have chosen is the correct type for their glazing. Please phone 020 7402 3646 for any further information on film compatibility.
Shield Window Film Ltd does not guarantee that the use of safety/security products will prevent injury or criminal access. The films when applied professionally do comply with the Health & Safety Regulation 14 and Building Regulations Document N however self application does not qualify the glass to these regulations. The film is tested to BS6206/EN12600 which categorises the performance of the film and from these tests it can be concluded that safety /security film does increase protection against injury but does not necessarily eliminate injury. Similarly the performance of safety/security films can increase the time and effort required to break through glass but does not prevent access by determined attackers.
