Windows are important in the home to let in natural light and fresh air, and without them, the house would look depressing and staid. However, windows are also the most vulnerable part of your home, and are often the entry point for potential danger. Using tools such as 3M safety and security window film, you can reinforce your windows and minimize danger.
Here are some of the things that this type of film protects from.
Burglary and Robbery
Many burglars enter their targeted homes by smashing open windows and then entering. By reinforcing your windows with 3M’s film, you are adding an extra layer of protection against breaking and entering or a smash-and-grab robbery. Noticing that your window is not as easy to break as that of previous targets can be enough to deter a burglar.
Storm Damage
3M safety and security window film helps to reinforce your windows against direct hits and damage. After storms, many people are injured by flying shards of glass as wind and hail break their windows. This window film makes your windows more resistant to breaking. If the glass does shatter, the film will keep it in place instead of the shatters going everywhere.
Glass Shattering
Besides storm damage, glass can shatter due to other causes, such as kids in the neighborhood hitting a ball into the window by accident. Even if the window shatters, protective film ensures that shattered glass won’t harm your family or your pets.
