Visual Safety Bands are a requirement for both the vision and non vision impaired. Clear glass can be undetectable and safety stripes must be placed on the clear glass to alert people and preventing them from walking into, or through the glass. Safety Banding is a mandatory item in commercial spaces. The commercial glazing codes for visual safety banding are different to the residential sector. The need for “Access and Mobility” in public and commercial spaces has become standard over time.
At Commercial Effects, we are specialists in installing optically contrasting vinyls to fulfill your certification requirements and provide a better and lower risk environment. Our most common and high volume banding is a 75mm vinyl strip installed onto the glass between 900mm-1000mm above the finished floor level. This is by far the most cost effective and quickest turn around option when installing the visual band indicators.
Through our PRE-DESIGNED system we offer a much more design friendly option when it comes to stylish looking and less dangerous glass. Simply select the “visual safety banding” in the media / finish section of the system, select the design and colour and your done. This option is a 200mm printed vinyl that offers great contrast on the glass. So don’t just fulfil you building certification requirements. Create a theme that carries from your visual banding through into other areas of the work space, such as boardroom privacy frosted film or matching decorative wallpapers.
