Window film supplied and installed in Rawalpindi by Protek Devices, authorized for 3M, TotalGard and Reflectiv since 2000. Heat, safety and privacy film, specified for Rawalpindi's climate.
Rawalpindi and Islamabad are one working area for us: a crew making the trip covers both, so a job in Saddar or Bahria is no harder to arrange than one in the Blue Area.
The building stock is different, though. Pindi is older and denser — commercial property on tight streets, cantonment housing, and a great deal of glazing that predates any thought of solar control.
Protek Devices installs 3M, TotalGard and Reflectiv window film in Rawalpindi. Four hours from Lahore, and always covered alongside Islamabad. Commercial work starts with an on-site survey; homes are usually filmed in a single visit.
Higher ground and a heavier monsoon make this the most temperate part of the country outside the hills. Summers are hot but shorter, and the winter genuinely cools. Buildings here also skew government, diplomatic and institutional.
Heat control still matters through May and June, but the brief shifts: this is the part of Pakistan where safety and blast-mitigation film is asked for most, and where clear anti-shatter over existing glazing is more common than solar tint.
Four hours from Lahore, and always covered alongside Islamabad.
We work throughout Pakistan, and the portfolio on this site lags the work — no Rawalpindi install is written up yet. We would rather say that than show you someone else's building and imply it was ours.
We fit film throughout the city, including Saddar, Bahria Town, DHA, Satellite Town, Chaklala, Westridge and Peshawar Road. Nowhere is off the list; these are simply the areas we are asked for most.
On two counts. Solar film takes the heat and glare off a west-facing frontage, and safety film holds the glass together if it is struck — which on a crowded commercial street is worth having for its own sake.
Completely. Solar film manages heat and light; safety film holds shattered glass in the frame after an impact or a blast. They are not alternatives — on institutional glazing we frequently fit anti-shatter film first and a solar film over or alongside it.
No, and anyone who tells you otherwise is selling something. It keeps a broken pane together, which is what turns flying glass into a cracked window. That is the injury it prevents in a blast, and it is a real and well-documented benefit, but it is not ballistic protection.
