Practical, no-spin guides to help you decide: what safety film costs, whether it’s worth it for your property, how it compares to the alternatives, and what it does and doesn’t do. Written by the VitraGuard Insights Team.
Law No. (3) of 2026 makes building safety an ongoing, provable duty for owners, with certificates, inspections and penalties up to AED 2,000,000. It does not require film. What it does do is hold owners accountable for the safety of the building envelope. Here is what it asks, and where glazing safety honestly fits in.
