Security Film Applications: Glass is just the start!

Security film applications are a cost-effective and efficient way to provide added protection against break-ins, natural disasters, and UV rays. Whether you’re concerned about the safety of your family, your business, or your property, security film is an excellent solution for window protection.

Security films are thin adhesive layers made of strong materials like polycarbonate or tempered glass. When applied to windows, it increases their endurance.

In the past, people primarily used window films for their aesthetic appeal or for reducing energy costs. However, technological advancements have made it possible for window films to be used for security purposes and to be applied on surfaces beyond glass, such as metal, marble, or plastic.

While clients generally add film protection to windows for a specific reason, it’s important to know that their application comes with additional benefits. The most common reasons why people install window films are:

Designed to provide an extra layer of protection against break-ins, security films make it difficult for intruders to enter your building or home.

Security films can be applied to a wide range of surfaces, such as glass, mirrors, stainless steel, or marble.

In areas prone to natural disasters, film protection for windows helps prevent damage caused by storms, hurricanes, and earthquakes. The extra layer acts like a shield, making surfaces more resistant to breakage and offering additional protection against flying debris by holding broken glass fragments in place.

Window protection also helps to improve the energy efficiency of your building. By reducing the amount of heat entering through glassed areas, security film reduces air conditioning costs and keeps interiors comfortable throughout the year. In addition, by blocking out harmful UV rays, window film protects your furniture and flooring from fading and other sun damage.

By reducing the amount of light entering your windows, security film can help to keep interiors private, making it difficult for others to see inside. This can be particularly beneficial for residential buildings, hotels, office, and healthcare facilities, providing a safe and confidential environment for patients, staff, and equipment.
