Every business wants to run as smoothly as possible, where employees work productively in a safe work environment and everything is as efficient as it can be. Every business wants this, but not all businesses know how to achieve it.
Instead of constantly looking for ways to improve the running of your business, here are just 4 products that you need to function as safely, efficiently, and productively as possible.
Window Film
Window Film is a product that can be applied on top of the glass on your windows to improve your existing glazing. Depending on your need for them, there are a range of high-quality films available that are cost-effective alternatives to other products, easy to install and require zero maintenance.
Why businesses need them:
- To reduce unwanted heat gain and solar glare – solar control window film filters out 99% of UV light preventing heat build up indoors and reducing glare so that your employees can work comfortably and look at the computer screen without straining their eyes.
- For security, privacy and safety – reflective, one-way vision window film can keep your interior assets private and deter any potential criminals from attempting to break in. Anti-vandalism, anti-shatter, and bomb blast protection window film are examples of window film that can keep your business and employees safe and secure from specific threats.
- To meet Health & Safety legislation and improve productivity – employers have a duty of care to provide a comfortable and functional workplace. Window film can help achieve this so that employees can work more productively.
- To improve energy efficiency and reduce costs – climate control window film can help you use less air conditioning in the summer and heating in the winter as the heat isn’t able to be let in or let out easily, therefore reducing energy costs for your business.
- To reduce fading of fabrics and damage to equipment – solar control window film prevents harmful UV rays fading carpets, curtains, and other fabrics, as well as the sun’s heat damaging equipment.

Anti-slip Materials
Anti-slip materials can be applied temporarily or long-term on a floor service to minimise accidents in the workplace. Available in a range of materials, anti-slip measures are made to the highest standards and are able to perform even in the most extreme conditions.
Why businesses need them:
- To comply with health and safety regulations – every business needs to have performed a risk assessment and implemented the necessary prevention measures. Slips, trips, and falls are the most common type of accident in a work environment, so anti-slip materials are the best solution to ensure the safety of all employees and visitors.
Graphics & Signage
Signs are a massive part of everyday life, from instructional and directional signs to labelling, warning, and informational signs. In order for a business to run effectively, they would need a solid signage strategy.
Printed Graphics are graphics that can be printed and applied to glass windows and doors, walls, and floors. Cost-effective, easy to apply and remove, and requiring almost zero maintenance, they can be used to compliment your signage strategy or for purely aesthetic purposes.
Why businesses need them:
Signage
- To comply with health and safety regulations – in industries such as construction, you will require warning signs etc on and around the construction site for both workers and passersby.
- To increase efficiency and productivity – if you have a large company or even multiple premises, you will need a good signage strategy to ensure that employees can navigate their way around easily.
- To improve customer experience – if visitors can navigate your premises easily, this positive impression will be reflected on to your business too. In organisations such as universities, this can be enough to influence people’s decisions on whether to apply or donate.
- To increase brand awareness – high-quality signs enhance your company image and increase awareness of your brand.

- To advertise a product or service – if you have a particular product or service you want to push or you have a special promotion, graphics can help you step up your marketing.
