Three Essential Treatment Modes

Effective, sustainable solutions
for every material and substrate.

Whether safeguarding rolling stock against acid tags, mitigating solar thermal load under massive glass atriums, or executing overnight corporate rebrandings, GSDI delivers bespoke engineering with zero disruption to daily operations.

Preventive Treatments

Proactively guard critical surfaces against vandalism, environmental weathering, UV discoloration, and forced intrusion.

  • Anti-graffiti & anti-scratch films: Sacrificial barriers resisting acid and inks.
  • Solar & thermal control: Up to 82% solar heat rejection on glass facades.
  • Anti-burglary & blast mitigation: Retains shards and delays penetration.
  • Bodyfence polyurethane: Self-healing vehicle paint protection.

Corrective Treatments

Restore heavily damaged, polluted, or aged materials to factory-new condition without expensive replacement.

  • Glass resurfacing (de-scratching): Eliminates deep gouges with zero optical distortion.
  • Stainless steel finishing: Restores escalators, elevators, and transit panels.
  • Graffiti extraction: 99% mark removal from raw porous stone and concrete.
  • Surface re-lacquering: Industrial restoration for claddings and window frames.

Aesthetic Enhancements

Transform commercial spaces, transit networks, and fleets rapidly with high-end architectural and decorative media.

  • Architectural makeover films: Ultra-realistic textures (wood, stone, brushed metal).
  • Vehicle wrapping: Complete livery application for trains, trams, and bus fleets.
  • Privacy & frosted vinyl: Tailored daylight diffusion and executive zoning.
  • Event murals: Giant printed micro-perforated adhesive facades.
