Custom Shield
Patent-pending protective films tailored to unconventional substrates — stone facades, painted brick, specialty cladding — in Philadelphia's diverse architectural environments.
About Custom Shield
Custom Shield is Graffiti Shield's patent-pending line of protective products specifically engineered for substrates where standard glass or metal films do not apply. Stone facades, painted brick, specialty architectural cladding, non-standard surfaces, and materials that require a substrate-matched protective layer are all within Custom Shield's scope. The product either mimics the appearance of the underlying surface or provides direct protective coverage, depending on the specific application.
Philadelphia's architectural diversity makes Custom Shield particularly relevant to the city's property owners. Old City and Society Hill feature historic stone facades and painted brick that are frequent targets of spray paint and marker vandalism. The Benjamin Franklin Parkway corridor and Penn's Landing waterfront area include specialty cladding and architectural surfaces for which standard film products offer no direct solution. Fishtown and Northern Liberties mixed-use developments often incorporate raw concrete, exposed masonry, and specialty finish materials that face vandalism pressure without existing protective options.
Custom Shield engagements begin with an in-person assessment by Window Film Philadelphia, during which we document the substrate material, surface profile, finish appearance, and vandalism history. This assessment is provided to Graffiti Shield for product specification. Each Custom Shield application is evaluated and specified individually — there is no catalog product; each deployment is engineered to the specific surface.
For historic Philadelphia properties where preservation guidelines restrict permanent surface alteration, Custom Shield's non-permanent application method may provide a pathway to vandalism protection that standard coatings or paints cannot offer. We assess compatibility with historic preservation requirements as part of the site evaluation.

Protection for Surfaces That Standard Films Don't Cover
Custom Shield extends Graffiti Shield's sacrificial film system to stone, painted brick, specialty cladding, and non-standard architectural surfaces — substrates for which no off-the-shelf anti-graffiti film has historically been available.
Patent-Pending Substrate-Matched Technology
Custom Shield uses Graffiti Shield's patent-pending process to create a film that either replicates the visual appearance of the underlying surface or provides direct protective coverage — tailored to each specific substrate and application.
Compatible with Historic Preservation Requirements
For Philadelphia's historic buildings in Old City, Society Hill, and Chestnut Hill, Custom Shield's non-permanent application may be compatible with preservation guidelines that restrict permanent surface alteration. We evaluate compatibility as part of the site assessment.
