What can our Safety and Security Fim do?

PROTECTS PROPERTY

A smash and grab thief needs to act quickly, whether it’s stealing merchandise from a storefront, or gaining access to your home. Our film deters the would-be thief by withstanding blows that would shatter untreated glass. When broken glass is held intact, property is protected and police have time to respond to alarms. Over the years, our film has been credited with deterring thefts at major department stores, computer outlets, clothing chains and numerous other retail, commercial and residential locations.

PROTECTION FROM ACCIDENTS

Accidents can happen around the home or on the job. A child running into a sliding glass door. A golf ball or baseball crashing through the window. A rock hurled at a window by a rotary lawn mower or passing vehicle. Again, our film comes to the rescue by helping to hold the glass in place, preventing shards of glass from threatening life and limb. Additionally, our film saves money by eliminating the cost of boarding up glass windows and doors until they can be reglazed.

PROTECTION FROM FLYING GLASS

Shards of flying glass are one of the most dangerous threats to the human body, as they can cause serious or fatal injuries. As a matter of fact, flying glass can be so fatal it has been said, if glass were invented today, it probably would not be allowed because it would not meet current consumer safety standards. Our safety and security film is 4 mil to 10 mil thickness, and has been proven to hold glass together in bomb blasts, hurricanes, tornadoes and earthquakes. In addition, because the glass has been held together, our film can provide protection against water damage commonly experiences in a hurricane or tornado.

AND A WHOLE LOT MORE

Safety and security films were originally developed for use in parts of the world where terrorism was a constant threat to life. Experience has proven that our film provides more than just protection against a terrorist bomb. It protects against natural disasters, petty thieves, accidents and fire. And our solar safety films can filter out up to 99% of damaging UV rays and 76% of the suns energy.

We know what you’re thinking: Is ballistic film bulletproof?

Quick answer:    NO. Ballistic tint does not stop bullets but strengthens and makes the window shatter proof when broken. There is no existing tint that offers bulletproof protection.

WHAT CAN BALLISTIC FILM DO?

If ballistic film can’t stop bullets, what can it do? Well, quite a bit, actually.


It can:

  • Keep your building occupants safe

  • Because ballistic film is a shatter resistant security film, it reduces spall hazards to your building occupants or guests. (“Spall” is the dangerous, small glass shards that bullets produce when they hit glass.)

  • Keep your inventory and equipment safe

  • Most commercial doors and windows are made with tempered glass, which breaks into a trillion little cubes on impact. While those little cubes are great for reducing window shard injury for people, their crumbly nature doesn’t do much to protect your premises when thieves or intruders shoot your windows.

  • Ballistic window film transforms all windows into shatterproof windows, which keeps your premises and occupants safer in the event of an attack or shooting.

  • Slow down intruders to buy time for escape


This is probably the most important feature that ballistic film offers. Because practical, bullet-resistant glass doesn’t actually exist, security solutions such as 3M shatter resistant films are used to strengthen existing glass windows and doors and keep active shooters out of your building.
