For homes and businesses alike, security is a top priority. Often overlooked, however, are the ramifications windows can have on the occupants’ safety. Whether the goal is to protect your family, prevent costly losses, or simply create a safer working environment, an investment in window safety is an investment in the future.
Let’s look at what every homeowner or business owner needs to understand about safety and security window films.
How Do Safety and Security Window Films Work?
It’s helpful to know what industry professionals mean when they talk about “safety window film,” “security window film,” or “shatter resistant window film.” All of these terms refer to window films that reinforce the structural integrity of windows, preventing costly vandalism, easy break-ins and dangerous shattering. Using virtually clear microlayers of polyester and strong adhesives, these films prevent irreversible damage and shattering upon impact, significantly improving safety during accidents and deterring forced entry.
The Advantages of Safety and Security Films
There are a few critical advantages to window safety film installations:
Protection Against Break-Ins
Security films act as a sound deterrent to intruders who may be expecting a simple smash-and-grab operation. Though no window film is entirely impenetrable, shatterproof films create a substantial obstacle to forced entry, buying valuable time in the event that deterrence is not enough.
Safety in Case of Accidents
Both airborne and settled glass shards pose a serious threat to building occupants and residents. Protecting windows against accidents is a vital step for safety. Shatter-resistant window films keep shards secured to the frame, even on sudden impact. So, if and when a baseball comes hurtling through, inhabitants will be safe and cleanup will be simple.
Storm and Weather Protection
Extreme and unpredictable weather conditions should be considered when identifying a solution to protect your building windows and glass. Storm winds can send debris flying and trees toppling. If a glass door or window is struck, security film will do its work to prevent flying glass shards and to keep natural elements out while the storm passes.
UV Protection
Safety and security window films also provide 99%protection from the sun’s UV rays, which might otherwise cause physical risk, or deterioration of fabrics, artwork, wallpapers, and even merchandise in the path of natural light. By reducing exposure, window films protect the lifespan of these interior elements, helping to save money on repairs and replacements in the long run.
