Elevator Graffiti Removal And Prevention In Seattle
Elevator graffiti is rampant across the country and sadly, Seattle is no exception. Each year it costs commercial property owners and taxpayers millions of dollars in removal and elevator restoration. Sadly, after costly repairs, the elevators are often vandalized due to their closed off nature.
Elevator graffiti remediation has traditionally been done by removing the entire metal panel and replacing it with a new one. This is extremely expensive and time-consuming. However, an alternative to full elevator panel replacement is to have a 6mm Metal Shield Film applied over the damage to obscure it rather than removing it. Metal Shield is less expensive than replacing elevator panels. It is also easy to remove and reapply, by the trained professionals at Seattle Window Film and most times is finished in less than one day.
What Is Metal Shield?
As mentioned above, Metal Shield is a 6-mil thick graffiti prevention film installed over the damaged stainless steel surfaces. It matches the look of the existing panels seamlessly as well. The best part is one installed the Metal Shield now acts as a sacrificial layer on your elevator’s panel. Should vandalism occur again, the film is simply removed and replaced at a much lower cost, and with less downtime than actual panel replacement. At Seattle Window Film, we also carry additional films to protect other areas that could be at risk of vandalism: mirrors, glass, and most other flat surfaces. If you have a graffiti problem, be sure to ask us about all the graffiti shield line of products.
