Security Window Film Palmdale
When it comes to securing your property and its occupants, security window film Palmdale can be one of the best investments you can make. By reinforcing your windows, security films deter burglars and other intruders by making forced entry through glass much more difficult. In addition, security window films protect occupants during natural disasters or accidents by minimizing the risk of glass shards.
Although safety and security window film is fairly simple to install, it should always be installed by a certified professional to avoid costly mistakes like bubbling or uneven application. Window film can also be incorporated into your existing window design to add aesthetic appeal while protecting your property and its occupants.
There are many different types of safety and security window film available on the market, with each type having its own unique set of benefits. The most common type of safety and security film is made from a high-strength polycarbonate, which makes it highly durable against both impact and shattering. The polycarbonate used to create this type of window film is impregnated with UV inhibitors to guard against the sun’s harmful rays that cause fabrics and furnishings to fade.
The thickness or ‘tear resistance’ of safety and security film also plays an important role in its effectiveness. Thicker films are generally more effective against various threats, but they can also be more expensive than thinner options. Some safety and security films use nanotechnology to keep them as thin as possible without sacrificing their strength or visual clarity.
In addition to its protective qualities, safety and security film is designed to reduce energy costs by reducing heat gain and cooling bills. It can also be used to decorate and brand your building, by adding graphics, etching resistance or a reflective finish to your windows.
Despite its strong protective capabilities, security window film is not considered bulletproof. In fact, no window film can be made to withstand a single direct hit from a bullet. Security window film can, however, reduce the effect of a bullet blast by keeping glass fragments together and holding them in place. This can significantly reduce the chance of injury to a person behind the glass as well as reduce the risk of glass shards becoming projectiles in the event of a bomb blast.
The primary differences between privacy tint and security window film are that privacy tint focuses on enhancing privacy by obscuring visibility, while security film prioritizes strengthening windows against impact and breakage. However, some security film solutions such as DefenseLite can offer both solar protection and privacy features by incorporating silver reflective or transitional technology during manufacturing.
