Security Window Film for Homes and Commercial Spaces in Essex by PR Solar Window Film LTD

How Security Film Works

Security film is made of polyester materials and it comes in varying thickness and opaqueness levels. This film has an adhesive coating that makes it easy to bond with different glass types, including toughened, annealed, and laminated glass. Once bonded with the window or door, the security film acts as a protective layer that prevents easy breakage. Security film has shock absorbency properties that distribute pressure throughout the glass. Moreover, its durability prevents it from tearing which gives it the ability to keep shattered glass in place.

Why Install Security Film

The durability security film affords glass surfaces makes it an effective solution in enhancing your property’s security. The material is suitable for residential and commercial use. It is cost-efficient and low maintenance so you don’t have much to worry about once it is installed.

Criminal Activity

Your windows and glass doors present an efficient entry point for criminals. The fragility of the glass does nothing to prevent burglars and vandals from trespassing on your property. Installing security film on these vulnerable areas prevents the glass from breaking too easily. Windows and glass doors reinforced with security film take more force to shatter. While criminals are distracted with this, you can contact the proper authorities.

Commercial Establishments: Aside from protecting your property from thieves and trespassers, security film also discourages vandalism. When criminals vandalise your windows and glass doors with graffiti, you can simply remove the damaged film and reapply a new sheet. This is less expensive and less time-consuming than replacing the whole window pane.

Fire

Glass is prone to shattering in high temperatures. This can make evacuating a building more dangerous because the glass shards will injure people. Security film has dimensional stability which protects it from high temperatures. This allows it to keep glass together even after it breaks in the heat.

Natural Disasters

Another common cause of broken windows and glass doors is the weather. From seismic activities to harsh weather conditions, all of these have the potential to break standard windows and glass doors. Installing security film on these areas of your property gives them an additional layer of protection. The film will absorb most of the shock of the pressure. When the glass does crack or shatter, the film will keep it together until you replace the damaged panes.
