Protect-A-Window
FCA MemberAbout Protect-A-Window
Protect A Window is the original and still the most popular protection system of its kind. Inventor of the paint-on peel-off protection system that protects windows and other surfaces during construction and recommended by the Australian Window Association Protect A Window is 100% Australian and uses its own multi-award winning products.
All work is covered by a products and service guarantee when applied by a franchisee.
The Australian Windows Association has recently observed that the Australian Government has placed a lot of emphasis on the use of energy efficient glass. The days of 3mm plate glass seem to be numbered. Of course, with more and more builders using the more expensive energy efficient glass, the more demand for our product. Our research shows that there is a 20% to 70% chance that glass will be scratched during the building process. Even at 20%, it is cost efficient for builders to have their product protected. It is not just the cost of the glass to be replaced but also the hidden costs associated with delays in handover, glass replacement etc. Our future looks more and more promising.
What does a Protect A Window mobile franchise operator do?
Protect A Window Operators provide services that protect surfaces during construction including:
-
Windows
-
Windows & Frames
-
Bathtubs
-
Benchtops
-
Floors
-
other surfaces
These surfaces are protected using Protect A Window’s own award winning temporary protective peelable coatings or SKINS.
Basically trade franchise operators apply a liquid coating to a surface, the coating then sets into a peelable protective SKIN that is simply peeled off when no longer required.
How much does a Protect A Window mobile franchise earn?
Protect A Window trade franchise operators have applied protection up to 8 jobs per day, each job takes about 1 to 2 hours and each job earns $120 - $160 gross profit after materials (includes material cost, excludes labour and incidental costs).
Based on the figures above adding 5-10 hours a week to an existing business would increase the gross profit by $30,000 to $40,000 per annum. Obviously, a franchisee working full time could earn in excess of $100,000 per annum.
What is Protect A Window?
The Protect A Window Trade Franchise was established in 1992.
Protect A Window has grown from a 1 man operation into a national service using a network of small mobile franchise business operators and has grown internationally with agencies, in USA, Middle East, China, NZ, Europe, and other locations.
Protect A Window products create a durable skin or membrane that protects glass & frames & other surfaces from scratches caused by the removal of cement render or mortar, paint splashes, grinding sparks etc. Product peels off leaving a clean, scratch free surface. Suitable for use on special glass coatings such as Pilkington’s Comfort Plus.
Products are environmentally friendly and biodegradable – and – made in Australia.
It takes only one careless swipe of someone trying to remove cement from glass to cause thousands of dollars worth of damage – all of which can be prevented by using the services of protect a window.

Sounds too good, what’s the catch?
Protect A Window is a manufacturer of specialist products and we have learned over time that it is better to sell these products to 10 franchisees to professional service 10 clients each rather than to sell directly to 100 clients for them to DIY. Only by having franchisees apply the product can we be assured of correct application (a condition of our guarantee).
