Is Security Window Film Alone Enough Protection Against Bullets And Bombs?
Window film for safety and security has become an option more and more people are turning to for affordable but high-end protection for the windows on their homes and businesses. As it stands, many people are already aware of the fact that window Safety and Security films will help to hold glass in windows and doors together if/when it is struck by high-velocity objects: bullets, hail, wind and can even the impact of a bomb blast. What most people don’t realize is that to achieve the ultimate protection from security window film, special attachment systems must be installed. These attachment systems keep the shattered or fragmented glass in the frame after impact and work alongside security films to give you the very best protection.
How Security Films And Frames Work Together For Ultimate Protection
Safety and security films come in many different thicknesses – all the way from 2mil to 21 mils. Strange as it may seem, a thicker film doesn’t necessarily mean better protection. In fact, the security films we use here at Fort Collins Window Tinting are usually about 6mil-10mil. The key to the strength of any security window film lies in the use of a special attachment system installed with your security film. Also be aware that there are different attachment systems for various glass types and glass locations. This means the style of attachment system could vary from sidelights to doors or from tempered to plate glass. What will always remain the same is–to truly secure any window in your Fort Collins home or business, you need an attachment system to hold in shattered glass.
