Making affordable repairs and renovations is a challenge for any school. With school budgets being tighter than ever in Colorado, repairs are a cost that most public schools can’t afford to take on. After all, funds have to be allocated to more important things, like teacher salaries, books, supplies, and curriculum. a

For this reason, repairs sometimes are put off, even when they are badly needed. There are many unfortunate consequences of this. Bathrooms that are vandalized look like an easy target and before long are covered in all types of graffiti. Metal areas that have suffered damage from moisture, such as water fountains, bleachers, or restroom stalls begin to corrode at a rapid rate. Small issues develop into large complicated ones, requiring even more money to fix.

But nowadays, thanks to advancements in modern technology, many of these issues can be avoided. By simply installing an anti-graffiti window film, Fort Collins schools can tackle their metal restoration projects with ease and make repairs in an affordable manner.

Can Window Film Really Repair Damaged Metal?

It may seem like an unusual solution, but window film is actually a very effective way to repair damaged metal surfaces. In fact, there are special kinds of window film made for this exact purpose, called surface films. Just like the name suggests, these films are designed to be applied to hard surfaces instead of glass, like metal and mirrors. The film actually consists of a thin, pliable layer of material that looks just like metal and on the back has strong adhesives that hold it in place. It can be used to cover scratches, marker, paint, corrosion, and many other types of common damages.

How Schools Save Money with Metal Shield Window Film

As the site of boisterous activity, schools often suffer minor damages that have to be repaired. Bathroom stalls, signs, water fountains, and stairs are just some of the many places where graffiti, dents, and corrosion show up in schools. But replacing these items is expensive. And then there’s the issue with future repairs. Even if you replace a metal door or stall, how do you know it won’t be tagged again two days later?

That’s why window film is a choice that makes sense for Fort Collins schools. Not only is it a much more affordable alternative to replacement, but it’s a better long term solution too. If the film gets tagged or scratched, you don’t have to worry about the whole fixture or item being ruined. Simply have the film replaced by your local contractor and the area will look brand new again!
