Glass is often seen as a weak point when it comes to security. Without any enhancement, glass is easily broken. Fortunately, there are many inexpensive and easy ways to enhance security with window films such as security window film.
Safety window film protects your valuables against break-ins, vandalism, accidents, storms, earthquakes and blasts. Security window film protects windows and property by strengthening glass and making it more resistant to breakage. It is engineered for durability and twice as thick as standard window film, making the glass harder to break and deterring potential intruders.
In addition to adding a layer of security, the window film holds the glass together should it become shattered. It is made using a heavy-duty polyester film that bonds to glass with strong adhesives. This makes it harder to gain access because the film will hold the broken pane in position rather than allowing pieces to fall away.
Does Security Film Actually Work?
Security window film makes a break-in that would normally take seconds require minutes, which may deter a burglary altogether. An intruder would have to create a hole in the film in addition to breaking the glass in order to unlock a window or door.
Popular Applications for Security Film
Safety film can be applied to any glass window, wall, door or partition. It is commonly used for home windows, storefronts, schools, government buildings, industrial zones and other areas that are vulnerable to vandalism, seismic tremors or severe weather.
Security window films are available in a range of grades and finishes, with the standard security film virtually invisible in appearance. This allows security film to be applied to glass without disrupting the view or altering the look of your windows.
How is Security Film Installed?
Security film is thicker than most window films, that’s why it provides superior protection. However, the thicker the film, the tougher it is to cut and install perfectly. Installing safety window film is pretty straightforward and can be done as a DIY project for those who consider themselves to be quite handy. In other cases, it is advisable to hire professional window film installers who can get it installed without any air bubbles or errors.
The film is usually installed on the inside of the glass rather than the outside. This prevents broken glass from entering the home or building should it become shattered.
The installation of security film is simple and no special equipment is required. All you need is soap, water and a squeegee.
